Chapter Thirty-One

He’d shocked her. Good. Tristan shrugged. “It’s true.”

“Why? You’re a man.”

He glanced down at himself. “Glad you noticed, but what’s that got to do with anything?” How had they gotten offtrack? By now, he should have his mouth on all the places on her he wanted to taste, to see if she was as sweet as he remembered or if his memory had played tricks on him.

“A man has needs.”

“Let me guess. That’s the excuse Pretty Boy gave you for cheating on you?”

She nodded. “He said—”

He put a finger over her mouth, stopping her. “Fuck what Danny said.” For a strong woman, a woman owning her job as the sheriff, she sure was insecure about her worth. That couldn’t stand. “If you judge every man by Pretty Boy, you’re going to miss what’s right in front of you.” That would be him. Hopefully, she would see the light and soon. “Don’t you get it, Skye? You’re a beautiful, amazing woman. Pretty Boy is less than the scum on the bottom of your shoes.”

“Danny can go to the devil.”

“There she is, the woman who takes no prisoners.” He brushed his thumb over her bottom lip. “Nothing sexier than a strong, smart woman. Can we get back now to why we’re in my bedroom almost naked? I really, really want to get back to that.”

A beautiful smile appeared on her face. “Great idea.” She hooked her fingers around the elastic of her panties, then pushed them down over her hips. “You said you’d take your boxers off when my panties are off. So, off with them.”

That worked for him. Especially since it hadn’t been easy keeping his attention on her face when they got sidetracked while she stood in front of him in nothing but her panties. It was okay to look now, thank you God, and he let his gaze roam over her, starting with those breasts that made his mouth water.

Had another man touched her breasts, slid his hands over her skin, held her close as their bodies joined together? Tristan had told her there had been no one else for him since his night with her, and he wanted to ask if it had been the same for her. Since she’d arrived, he hadn’t seen her with another man, hadn’t heard any rumors that she was seeing someone. He wanted to think that like him, there had been no one. That he was in her blood the way she was in his. He wanted to ask, but he wouldn’t. If there had been someone else, he didn’t want to know.

Instead, he wrapped his hand around her hair, still damp from her shower. Her eyes were warm and liquid as she looked up at him, and he could get lost forever in those eyes. His gaze slipped down to her lips, and he couldn’t wait another second to have his mouth on hers.

She hummed when their tongues touched, and he remembered that about her, the little noises she made and how she made him think of a cat purring its pleasure.
