JACKSON slowly sat up, very slowly reaching for his jeans and dragging them up over his hips. Elle was a distance from him, her body in a tight ball, her tangle of hair hiding her face, her weeping heartbreaking. Bomber pushed close to her, trying to comfort her, whining anxiously as he circled, trying to figure out what to do.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.” The words were muffled, but Elle just continued to repeat the apology over and over.

Jackson sighed and ran both hands through his hair, taking stock of the situation. He sat there, knees drawn up, looking at Elle, shaking his head. She’d withdrawn from his mind, and when he touched her tentatively, her barriers were strong, strong enough that he figured she’d be able to keep Gratsos out as well. She didn’t want anyone sharing her thoughts, her recriminations. He knew Elle, she’d be hating herself and blaming herself for what had happened.

“Elle. Stop crying and sit up.” He put demand in his voice.

She moved, flinching a little at his tone.

“I mean it. Sit up and look at me. You wanted to come home with me and now you have to put up with the consequences. Stop crying and look at me.”

Elle raised her tear-streaked face, shoved back with her heels, her back pressed tight against the wall and sat, drawing her knees up to partially hide her face, but she was looking at him—and listening and that’s what he wanted.

“I’m not dead.”

Elle frowned and wiped the tears off her face.

“Look at me.” He held up his hands, turned them over and over. “I’m not dead.”

“I don’t understand.”

“You were afraid if I put my cock in your mouth I’d somehow wind up dead. Well I didn’t. You gave me pleasure and I’m still alive.”

She winced visibly. “But . . .”

“Come on, honey. You wanted to see if I was attracted to you and I was. You wanted to see if you could bring me off and you did.” He tilted his head to one side. “Hell, baby, rockets went off. So much so that you knocked me on my ass.” He grinned at her.

“That’s not funny.”

“It’s a little funny. Me exploding all over the room and getting tripped by my own jeans around my ankles and landing on my ass. It was a hell of a ride, Elle. You don’t do anything by halves.”

She was silent. Brooding. Wanting to see it his way, but feeling a failure. “I don’t even know what happened. One minute I was having the time of my life, loving what I was doing to you, wanting you with every cell in my body and then everything just went wrong. I don’t remember anything but needing to fight.” Tears welled up in her eyes again. “I’m sorry. I know I hit you.”

“Baby, I wasn’t feeling much but the rockets going off. I think you could have used a two-by-four and I wouldn’t have felt it.”

She pressed her fingers against her eyes. “I wanted you, Jackson.
