Chapter Fourteen

God, he wanted her. In fact, Landry didn’t think he’d ever wanted a woman this much in his entire life. Everything about her drew him in from the way she looked, to the way she moved, to the way she smelled. He even suspected he was making some progress getting her to trust him, as she hadn’t relied on that handkerchief for comfort since he’d picked her up in Chinatown earlier. That had to be a good thing.

Except that the trust she doled out in teaspoonfuls had been sorely misguided. Everything about who she was, she laid out for everyone to see. Never did she hide parts of herself from view. Unfortunately, he couldn’t say the same thing.

Somehow he’d managed to keep the guilt at bay while they were at the wedding celebration, but now that nagging sensation started to crawl up his spine. Part of him wanted to lay everything out on the table. But he knew with Isabella he’d crossed that invisible line of hers. He’d betrayed her. In more ways than one. And, to her, that was unforgivable.

But it wasn’t like he could change who he was or decisions he had made. He had to go full steam ahead and let the chips fall where they may. In the end, if he had to do it over again, he’d make the exact same decision.

He pushed back any lingering guilt as he pulled up to his apartment and came around to help her out of the car. Impatient, he pinned her against the car and kissed her. His chest squeezed with emotion until he remembered that more than likely there was a Fed watching.

It had been a rough couple of days. Even though, he felt a need to savor every moment. “I’d ask you if you were sure about this, but I don’t want you to change your mind.”

Thankfully, she shook her head and smiled. “Not a chance.”

“Good.” He ushered her up the steps and into his apartment. It seemed like it took forever to get the door open. Once inside, he pressed her against the front door, sucking her into a deep kiss. Memories from the good times flitted through his brain as his body rose to the occasion. He flicked his tongue into her mouth and she responded like a woman on a mission with a foray of her own. She tasted of wine and Isabella. Just as he remembered.

When he shifted his hand under her shirt, the heat of her skin on his fingertips made them tingle in anticipation until he stroked her breasts. Pulling down the cups of her bra, he rubbed his fingers around her nipples relishing in the soft moan of pleasure she emitted.

She reached around her neck to pull off the sling. “This will only get in the way.”

As gently as his raging hormones would allow, he stripped off her clothes until she was down to her underwear. He pushed away slightly so he could see her as well as touch her.
