CHAPTER THIRTEEN

TANNER RUBBED HIS FINGERS lightly against her neck, then slid his hand down her back and tugged on her braid.

Lili couldn’t say a word. That was the absolute nicest thing anyone had ever said to her. She’d always been the woman who could talk to animals, or thought she could. As if she were a thing instead of a person. Tanner had chosen to believe in her because of the kind of person he thought she was.

If there was magic in the world, and she definitely believed there was, then this was the most magical moment she’d ever known.

Tanner tugged the elastic from her braid, and Lili suddenly realized she was full-body plastered against him.

“I forgive you for what you said last night,” she whispered.

“I was an ass last night.”

“But you’re not an ass anymore?”

He chuckled. “I’m probably still an ass. It’s hard to kick the habit just like that.”

He threaded his fingers through her braid, pulling it apart until her hair fell across her shoulders, and he shoved his hands through the mass of it.

“I love your hair.” He bent down and nuzzled her throat, rubbing the strands all over his face.

She’d never had a man do that. It felt magical, too.

“It smells like summer rain,” he murmured.

“That’s the shampoo I use. It’s called Summer Rain.”

His laugh vibrated against her throat, then he nipped her, and heat streaked straight through her body. Her nipples peaked; her toes tingled; her head swam and she was suddenly hot, wet and ready for…anything he wanted.

She pulled back, but couldn’t manage more than his name.

Running his fingers through the fall of hair, he held her head in both hands. “I won’t hurt you again.”

He kissed her before she had a chance to tell him not to make promises. She didn’t want promises. But by heavens, she wanted this.

She held on to his waist and opened her mouth to him. It was like last night, but better. He was slower, his lips moving gently over hers, his tongue testing, tasting, then taking her deeply, only to back off, change his angle and devour her all over again. It was as if the kiss was a goal unto itself, as if savoring her was the supreme satisfaction.

Except that he was hard against her.

Her heart racing, she eased back to meet his blue, blue gaze.

He touched noses with her. “I know this isn’t the time or place, but I want you anyway. I want you now. I think you should know that.”

“You mean kissing me isn’t enough?”

He nuzzled her ear. “No, kissing you isn’t enough.”

“Because it felt like you loved kissing me.”

“I did. I do. I’ve never loved kissing a woman more.” He held up his palm. “I swear it.” Then he ran his hands down her back to her butt and hauled her hard against him. “I want to make you come like you did last night.”

Wrapping one arm around his neck, she rose on her toes and kissed him, openmouthed, deep, fast, hard, then said, “No.
