Chapter Twelve

Edeena allowed Vince to pull her up off the couch, unsurprised her legs were so shaky. “I’m significantly underdressed here.”

Heat flared again as he cast a glance back, his eyes dark with intensity. “I applaud that, for the record. Whenever you feel like going naked around me, be my guest.”

“Mm.” She stopped him as he moved again, her hand on his sleeve. “I’m also feeling a little out of place.”

He froze, clearly surprised, but she didn’t correct his dismay at first, instead using the opportunity to step close to him. Catching the hem of his shirt, she pulled it up, and he lifted his arms obligingly to allow her to strip it from his upper body.

Vince was radiating nearly as much heat as she was, and Edeena placed both of his hands on his pecs, savoring the hard planks of warmth beneath her palms. “Looks like someone works out,” she murmured, drawing her fingers down to his abs, which knotted at her touch.

“All part of the job, ma’am,” Vince said tightly, but he didn’t move as she traced a light touch along the edge of his cargo pants. She could see the rim of his boxer briefs, and she dipped a finger behind it tracing it around to his waist.

“Is this part of the job, too?” she asked, dropping her hand farther to grace the stiff line of his erection. Vince hissed as she drew her hand down then up against the sturdy cloth of his pants. Clearly the cloth wasn’t so thick that he couldn’t feel the pressure, feel it and respond to it with an urgency that made her smile.

It was good to know she wasn’t the only one in desperate need here.

She reached out and flicked open the clasp of his pants, then peeled them down and away. Somewhere along the line, Vince had kicked off his shoes and socks, and he stepped out of his pants easily, leaving him only in his boxers. The movement took him a few feet away from her, and she held up a hand to stop him when he would have closed the gap once more.

“Let me look,” she said, and she turned him slightly so that the full reflected light of the harbor splashed across his body.

My God, he’s built. She’d known about the shoulders, suspected that the chest would be thick and heavily muscled. But she didn’t expect the whip-cut abs, the muscles arrowing downward beneath the band of his boxer briefs. Those briefs stretched over narrow hips and then much heavier thighs, corded with muscle. “You don’t run, do you?”

He barked a laugh. “No. Too much weight to do that to my knees. I bike, and my cousins run a roofing business where I help out on occasion. Climbing up and down ladders all day will keep you in shape.”

“It definitely has.” She stepped back into the shadow of his body, savoring his touch as his thick arms came around her again, his hand warm and smooth along her back.
