Chapter 10

Connor turned Michele around in his arms and pulled her close again. Tipping her chin up with one finger he gazed at her soberly. “You’re sure that you want to go ahead with this?” he asked. “Because I’m not good at making promises. To be truthful, I don’t have the slightest idea where we’re going from here.”

Michele’s smile was slightly tinged with sadness. “Neither do I,” she answered. Her gaze was steady as she added, “But I am sure.” It was the only certainty in her life lately. She, too, couldn’t believe that pursuing a relationship with Connor would bring her anything but heartache in the long run. But it was time for her to stop playing it safe and rejoin the human race. And if that meant feeling pain as well as pleasure, well, it would still mean she was experiencing more emotion than she had in years.

“We never got around to doing that grocery shopping,” she reminded him.

“Well, since I didn’t put the lock on your window, I guess I didn’t really earn that steak you promised me.”

“Aren’t you hungry?”

Even she was unable to ignore the predatory light in his eyes. “Not for steak, Princess,” he whispered, before surprising a shriek from her by sweeping her up in his arms.

“What are you doing?” she demanded, laughing as he made his way toward her bedroom.

“If you can’t figure that out, lady, you’re even more naive than I thought,” he teased. He dropped her over her bed and followed her down on it immediately.

All humor fled from his face as he surveyed her from above. “You really are exquisite,” he murmured, one finger tracing her jawline.

“You’ve obviously been on the street too long, McLain,” she replied awkwardly.

He was amused at her obvious embarrassment but declined to answer. He concentrated instead on dropping kisses lightly over her face, her forehead, her eyelids, her cheeks.

Michele was unaccustomed to allowing her natural wariness to recede completely, and now she reveled in the heightened pleasure her retreat from caution brought her. Connor’s firm mouth was infinitely tender as he leisurely brushed his lips against her skin. Slow heat bloomed low in her abdomen. As much as she enjoyed his slow technique, the memory of his harder, almost desperate, kisses teased her, and she wanted them even as she enjoyed his languorous arousal.

She caressed his nape, fingers tangling in the dark gold curls twining enticingly around her fingers. Her throat arched under his questing mouth, her breathing jerky at the nibbling kisses he placed there.

Simultaneously they grew impatient with the gentle wooing. Connor raised his head and looked down at her, feeling an immediate tightening in his groin at the sight of her sprawled beneath him. He waited for her eyes to flutter open before taking her mouth in a deep, searing kiss.

Their tongues mated, their tastes meshed and their mouths twisted together, desperate for more. One kiss blurred into the next and the next, lips parting only to change the slant, to get closer, ever closer.
