Chapter Nine

This was such a mistake. It was the worst decision she could have ever made. He was everything she didn’t want in a man and she clearly wasn’t what he wanted either.

She pushed away slightly, fighting for air as that thought once again made breathing difficult.

Then his hands were in her hair, tugging her locks out of their fastenings, his lips moving over her neck as if he innately knew where she was most sensitive. God, how did he do that?

It didn’t matter how he did it, just that he do it. And it didn’t matter that she wasn’t his dream girl, because he wasn’t her Mr. Right, either.

She’d already found her Mr. Right. Caleb was just her Mr. Right Now.

“What are you grinning about?” he asked, his breathing ragged as he nibbled on her earlobe.

Was she grinning? Yeah. She was. She totally was. Possibly because she felt like the cat that ate the canary. This was what she’d wanted all week. She’d been fighting it because of their jobs and because… well, because Caleb was Caleb. So not her type. Not a bad guy, but definitely not long-term material.

The cab pulled to a stop and she got out as Caleb paid, following her quickly into the building and up to her apartment. The door no sooner closed behind them than she was back in his arms.

He surprised her by lifting her easily, her legs wrapping around him as he led the way to her bedroom.

Kennedy wasn’t a small girl. She was tall and solid. No guy had ever carried her, period, let alone so easily. If asked prior to this moment, she would have said such an act was befitting a Neanderthal, but she had to admit that his easy strength in carrying her made her hot as hell.

Good Lord, what was happening to her?

This was wrong. A mistake on so many levels. She didn’t mess with flakey guys. She didn’t date nor sleep with any man who needed to get his life together. She had no dreams of being a mother—to a child, let alone a grown man.

He laid her down on her bed and knelt over her. She caught a glimpse of his chiseled features in the glow from the streetlamps outside. The dim lighting
