Flash fire.

Those two words erupted in Garrett’s mind the moment his mouth touched Kyra’s.

The world stopped.

His brain shut down.

Instinct took over.

He laid her back on the braided rug and pulled the blanket from around her body with the eagerness of a kid diving into a long-awaited Christmas present.

She pulled him down, wrapping her arms around his neck, holding him tightly, pressing his mouth to hers. Tongues danced, breath mingled, desire flared.

Again and again he tasted her, swallowing her sighs, taking her breath, giving her his. She met him stroke for stroke, her desire more than a match for his own.

Better than wine, the taste of her filled him and effectively closed out everything else. There were no thoughts but to have her, no wants that weren’t centered on her.

He broke the kiss, leaving them both gasping for more. But kissing wasn’t enough. Pulling back, he reached for the front closure of that red lace bra he’d been thinking about for hours, and quickly unhooked it.

She sighed again as her breasts spilled free, and Garrett’s heart jittered to a stop in his chest. “You’re gorgeous.”

Kyra laughed, and her whole body shook with it as she reached up to touch his face lightly. “Don’t sound so surprised.”

He grinned at her, feeling a rush of something that was more than desire. More than anything he’d ever experienced before. “Not surprised,” he finally managed to say, “just pleased.”

“Now, that’s nice,” she said, and let her hand drop to her side again.

“Oh,” he assured her, “I’m just getting started.”

Her skin felt like silk—smooth, creamy silk. Firelight shifted across her, light and shadow defining every curve, and he couldn’t look at her enough. His hands swept up and down her body, needing to touch, to feel, to explore her flesh, learn its texture.

For years they’d worked together, he mused, his mind racing. The tension between them had always been there, alive, active. They’d buried it in work. Ignored it by keeping their distance.

Now, though, it wouldn’t be denied.

Now it was exploding.

“I have to have you,” he murmured, dipping his head to take first one nipple, then the other into his mouth. His lips and tongue and teeth tortured her and she writhed beneath him. Soft groans and sighs buffeted the air, echoing inside him with the ferocity of howling need.

Holding his head against her breast, she arched against him and whispered, “I need you, Garrett. Now.”

“Yes,” he muttered, his voice muffled against her body. “Now.” He couldn’t wait. Couldn’t torture either of them any longer. If he didn’t have his hands on her in the next few seconds, he wasn’t sure he’d survive.

He slipped from her grasp, pulling back and away from her, despite her protests. In seconds, he had them both out of what was left of their clothes.

“Now,” he agreed, swooping in for another kiss, another exchange of heat, promise, anticipation.

She smiled up at him, licked her lips and nodded. “Oh, yeah. Now.”

Grinning fiercely, he reached for her wrists. Bracketing them both in one strong hand, he held them tight over her head and used his free hand to skim her body.
