Lucy Ann stepped out of his arms, and a protest roared inside Elliot. Damn it, was she leaving? Rejecting him in spite of everything they’d just said to each other? He set his jaw and stuffed his hands into his pockets to keep from turning into an idiot, a fool begging her to stay.

Except she didn’t move any farther away. She locked eyes with him, her pupils wide—from the dark or from desire? He sure as hell hoped for the latter. Her hand went to the tie of her silky wraparound dress and she tugged.

His jaw dropped. “Um, Lucy Ann? Are you about to, uh—?”

“Yes, Elliot, I am.” She pulled open the dress, revealing red satin underwear and an enticing expanse of creamy freckled skin.

His brain went on stun. All he could do was stare—and appreciate. Her bra cupped full breasts so perfectly his hands ached to hold and test their weight, to caress her until she sighed in arousal.

She shrugged and the dress started to slide down, down—

Out here.

In the open.

He bolted forward, a last scrap of sense telling him to shield her gorgeous body. He clasped her shoulders and pulled her to him, stopping the dress from falling away. “Lucy Ann, we’re on a balcony. Outside.”

A purr rippled up her throat as she wriggled against his throbbing erection. “I know.”

Her fragrance beckoned, along with access to silky skin. His mouth watered. That last bit of his sense was going to give up the fight any second.

“We need to go back into our suite.”

“I know that, too. So take me inside. Your room or mine. You choose as long as we’re together and naked very soon.” She leaned into him, her breasts pressing against his chest. “Unless you’ve changed your mind.”

The need to possess tensed all his muscles, the adrenaline rush stronger than coming into a final turn neck and neck.

“Hell, no, I haven’t changed my mind. We’ll go to my room because there are condoms in my nightstand. And before you ask, yes, I’ve been wanting and planning to take you to bed again every minute of our journey.” He scooped her up into his arms and shouldered the doors open into their suite. The sitting area loomed quiet and empty. “Thank God Mrs. Claymore isn’t up looking for a midnight snack.”

Her hair trailing loose over his shoulder, Lucy Ann kissed his neck in a series of nibbles up to his ear. “You’re supposed to be the race car driver who lives on the edge, and yet you’re the one being careful. That’s actually quite romantic.”

“For you. Always careful for you.” Except he hadn’t been. He’d left her alone as a teen, gotten her pregnant and stayed away for nearly a year. He refused to let her down again in any way. She deserved better from him.

Lucy Ann deserved the best. Period.

She slid her hand behind his head and brought him closer for a kiss. He took her mouth as fully as he ached to take her body. With every step closer to his bedroom, his body throbbed harder and faster for her.
