Chapter Ten

Carmella had never felt the “morning after” blitz of nerves and self-consciousness. She was usually out of bed long before any partner who dared to share it, and in control of herself. Show no weakness. She had been taught that rule early in life.

When she awoke hours later, wrapped in Ryder’s arms, his heat and strength enveloping her, the subsequent emotions that followed held her still, silent, as she fought to make sense of them.

Ryder’s legs were tangled with hers, one hard thigh pushed high between them. Her head was pillowed on his chest, one arm draped over his waist. It felt too right, too comfortable. And yet she felt hopelessly ensnared.

Torren was silent for now. She had gone to sleep with Ryder’s arms wrapped around her and Torren’s psychic energy soothing her. The unusual ménage had left her uncomfortable in the face of the once-again changing relationship with Torren. It left her feeling as though she were drowning when it came to Ryder, though.

Carmella wasn’t a fool. She knew next to nothing about Ryder and she wasn’t about to trust her life to this man just because the sex was great. And the sex was great. God, was it good. Thrilling, dominant, everything she had fantasized over for years. But that didn’t mean she had to lose her head. And damn, Torren wasn’t making this any easier on her.

“I can hear you thinking. You’re going at it a mile a minute.” Ryder’s deep, warm voice stirred her senses. It was a caress, a stroke of longing over emotions she had fought for so many years.

“Read thoughts too, do you?” Carmella moved to roll from his embrace, but his arms tightened around her as he pulled her beneath him, bracing himself on one arm as he rose to stare down at her.

“I can hear the static,” Ryder whispered, his lips lowering to hers. “Let’s see if I can give you something else to worry about.”

His blue eyes glittered in stark, sensual arousal. Carmella felt her breath catch in her throat as the soft mat of his close-cropped beard caressed her cheek a second before he shifted yet again and his lips covered hers.

It wasn’t a hard, dominant kiss. Carmella trembled, her fingers clenched on his shoulders as his lips whispered over hers. Stroking, encouraging, asking permission in this, rather than taking.

Confusion swamped her as she stared up at Ryder. He watched her curiously, his expression tender, a glimmer of humor, of heat in his eyes as his lips nudged against hers, parting them for the soft lick of his tongue.

Her heart was racing, emotions and confusion overwhelming her senses as he touched her so gently.

“You taste good, Carmella,” he whispered against her lips, the caress firing nerve endings she didn’t know she had.

His lips nudged against hers again,
