MY HANDS ARE shaking as I haul her to me and crush my lips to hers. I lose my breath, growing dizzy as our mouths fuse to each other, and the stars I see may very well be from lack of oxygen. I don’t care.

After a moment, Clementine wrenches away, both of us gasping for air and staring at each other. “Are we doing this?” she asks, her eyes a deep shining emerald. “And to be clear, I don’t know what this is. Did I say that already? Oh, god.” She steps back, looking terrified.

I smile and hold my palm out for hers. She takes it, and another tingle passes into me from the touch. I squeeze her hand. “That right there,” I say, looking down at our joined hands, “whatever that is? That is why we’re doing this. I don’t know what it is, either, Clementine. But I know this: you are, without a doubt, the sexiest, smartest, most infuriatingly hard-headed, stubborn woman I have ever met, and I absolutely need you.”

“Do you have a condom?” she blurts.

“Always.”

“Prove it.”

“Always the scientist, eh?” I smile and walk to the bathroom to retrieve the handful in my dopp kit—years of living with Axl in Coal’s Lake taught me to never leave home without them—and brandish them as I return. Her eyes follow me as I lay them on the bedside table and turn back to her. “I want you to know how hard it is not to tackle you right now.”

She heaves a sigh and studies me. Then she cracks a smile, and I swear I hear lightning crackle across the sky. “Good enough for me,” she says, then yanks out the pencil holding her hair up, and lunges.

I catch her with a oh thank fuck exhale, and in seconds she’s peeling my suit jacket off and yanking my tie loose, then making quick work of my shirt.

“Why the hell did you wear a tie?” she mutters, her small, warm hands exploring my chest.

“Because they make me—” I hiss in a breath as she runs her thumbs over my nipples—“feel like I know what I’m doing.”

She chuckles. “How’s that going for you?”

“Fucking awesome,” I answer, shoving her biker jacket down, pulling her shirt over her head, then snapping her bra off. “Jesus,” I whisper as I finally get a good look at her in the light. “Clementine…”

She tips her chin high, and the movement cracks something deep inside my chest. The burn on her arm goes all the way up to her shoulder, splattering onto the top part of a pert breast. “I was six.”

I shake my head. “You misunderstand. You’re perfect, Clementine.”

She blushes, her cheeks deepening in the late morning light and making her even more gorgeous. Wordlessly, I bend to take a mouth-watering nipple in my mouth, listening for her reaction and adjusting as I go. This woman will get whatever she needs and wants from me, and then some. She moans as I band an arm around her waist, and it seems to flip the switch.
