18 – A Formal Interview at the Station

Ada had never acted with such brazen disregard for self-protection, yet something about Matt pushed her to be herself and not put on a single bit of pretense. She didn’t hide or give into shyness. Neither did she pretend she didn’t want him. She’d tried to ignore Matt and the attraction she’d felt for him from the day he’d turned up with his soldiers to help her pick flowers. When he’d failed to react to her rudeness, she’d started paying greater attention.

And now she’d given up fighting.

It was time to take something for herself, no matter how fleeting that might be. Matt would leave once his work here ended. Ada understood that. She understood her heart would break—just a little—but she’d survive. She understood all of this, yet she was still going ahead and grabbing pleasure and companionship with both hands.

Matt’s eyes turned dark without warning before he slammed his mouth down on hers and caged her between him and the bed.

Man unleashed. Yum.

Ada wrapped her arms around his neck in case he got it into his brain to move now that they’d started down this road.

He lifted his head, a tiny grin playing around his sensual lips. “Chill, sweetheart. I’m not planning on going anywhere. Not even if we get an intruder outdoors.”

“Good to know.”

“Relax.”

“This restlessness surging through me is sexual tension,” she informed him. “It’s your job to stamp that out and turn me into a limp kitten.”

He laughed then before he kissed her again. This exchange held none of their earlier desperation. Instead, the moment their lips met, heat flared in her, and it traveled downward until it resided in the needy spot between her thighs. Her nipples grew hard, tight, and definitely tender.

As if he read her mind, or maybe she’d telegraphed her desire, one big, callused hand settled on her breast. He squeezed his palm against her nipple, giving her a little ease.

She groaned. “I ache.”

“I promise to make everything better,” Matt whispered.

“Less talk. More action,”

His chuckle sped another shudder through her, then to her relief, he kissed her hard and wet with tongue. Such a great kiss, it melted her.

She held on tight while he did other equally decadent things to her body. His hands coasted down her rib cage and settled on her hips while he moved his mouth across her throat. He sucked on the upper curve of one breast before his mouth hit her nipple. The way he drew on her breast was bliss. Amusement followed the thought. She—the ever-practical woman—was thinking about bliss in connection with sex.

And she was thinking other airy-fairy stuff too.

One big hand cupped her butt and squeezed, rocketing sensation in all directions. Ada moaned and clung to him in a tight embrace. Their lips met again for one of those excellent soul-destroying kisses. She parted her legs farther and wrapped them around his hips.

“You in a hurry?”

“I am now,” she murmured and did some exploring of her own with her mouth.
