Chapter Nine

Trina had a bad feeling Gabe would think she was a flake. Yes, no, yes, no. Bungee cord bounces in the messages she had been sending.

But he didn’t even hesitate. He exploded into motion, his chair clattering back, and he reached her in two strides. She expected to be grabbed, for him to take powerful, sensual control immediately.

Instead, he cupped her face in his broad palms and bent his head slowly. His gentle kiss came as a surprise. His mouth brushed hers. He nibbled a little. His tongue stroked the seam of her lips.

Through the fog in her head, Trina realized he was giving her time. Waiting for an answer.

What do you really want? Why did you change your mind?

She’d changed it because she didn’t want to miss something amazing out of fear.

She pushed herself up on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck and nipped his lower lip sharply.

A groan rumbled out of his chest, and yes, he took charge, because that’s who he was. Didn’t mean she couldn’t kiss him back with everything in her. One of his hands gripped her hip while the other wrapped the back of her head so he could angle her to find the best fit.

And the fit was amazing. Perfect. His neck was thick and strong, his entire body powerful. That body was so close she could feel the vibration of his heartbeat. When he breathed, her nipples tightened.

The kiss went on and on, until the rest of the world might as well not have existed. He was everything. Trina heard odd sounds, and distantly knew they came from her. She wanted to climb his body, and was practically en pointe in her effort to get higher. She must have raised one of her legs, because he made a guttural sound, shifted so that he could grip both of her thighs and lifted her. She squeaked, wrapped her legs around his waist and held on.

Somehow he walked and kissed her at the same time. And they said men didn’t multitask as well as women. Here was an exception. The way she felt, Trina wasn’t sure she’d have cared if he had banged her into a wall or the staircase banister, but that never happened. At the foot of the stairs, though, he stopped. When his mouth left hers, she rubbed her cheek against his rough jaw, then did some experimental nibbling.

“Trina.” That deep, dark voice felt as good as his hands on her.

She licked his neck, tasting soap and salt.

“Trina.” This time he shook her.

Dazed, she tipped her head back to see a look of pure desperation on his face.

“Do you want this?”

Want this? She was on fire. No, bad analogy. Fire hurt. This was...hunger. An aching kind of pleasure. She tried to rub herself against him.

“To hell with it,” he muttered, and started up the stairs. Once he stopped to kiss her, swore when they swayed and wrenched his mouth away. Reaching the top, he strode down the hall.

Trina felt a momentary jolt at the sight of the guest room door, standing open the requisite four inches.
