CHAPTER TWELVE

« ^ »

Ah, damn. He smelled so good. His body radiated heat, which seared her skin despite the layer of his clothing separating them. Sprawled half over him, AJ pressed closer, loving the sensation of the hard plane of his chest against her sensitized breasts. She rubbed against him like a cat, and lowered her head, already so aroused she could barely think. Openmouthed, she brushed his lips with hers. Fire erupted in her stomach and she tangled her fingers in the cool silk of his hair, holding him, even though he hadn't moved. She licked the Fort Knox of his lips. Hungry. Eager. Hot.

Unresponsive?

The man beneath her lay still, unmoving. She couldn't say totally unresponsive, since his erection was rock hard and ready, nudging her thigh, and she felt the thick, heavy throb of his heart beneath her right breast.

She kissed him again, and when he still didn't respond, lifted her head. The dark pressed down unrelentingly, and the wind howled a deep, mournful bass. "Kiss me back, damn it," she demanded.

"I don't play at this, AJ."

"Who's playing?" She grabbed fistfuls of his hair and kissed him again, sliding her tongue between his lips to sweep into the warm, wet cavern of his mouth. He opened for her. But that was it.

Every one of AJ's previous lovers—all three of them—had wanted it fast and often. While they'd been around. Kane was no different—as he'd proven already today. Five times in twenty minutes at the hotel.

Fine. She'd take it any way he wanted to give it to her. AJ tried to clear the sultry fog from her brain to figure out why this wasn't working. She didn't believe for a moment that these sensations were one-sided. She felt the tension in his body the entire length of her own—he practically emitted a crackly electrical current. Hell, no, this wasn't one-sided.

Was he changing the rules on her?

Perverse bastard.

His hard grip on her upper arms belied his calm tone and lack of… vigor. Other than his enormous erection, which moved and pulsed against her thigh, he was unnaturally still.

She huffed out a frustrated breath. "Damn it, Kane. I'm not asking you to take vows, here. I'm just asking for a little body heat. A little…"

"Distraction?" he suggested coolly.

"As I recall, you didn't mind being distracted in the elevator."

"That was different."

"Why, because you started it?"

His silence rang out loud and clear.

"What's wrong with this if we're both willing participants?" And my heart won't be in tatters when I'm no longer the right trophy for you. It won't hurt as badly when you walk away. She felt an annoying prick of tears. Why was she never enough?

"Not only is this ridiculously unprofessional while we're in the middle of an op," he told her, his voice gratifyingly ragged, "your brother would castrate me if he ever found out."

I'm sorry your heart's cracked, short stack. Not every guy out there is as superficial as that asshole. Trust me. There'll be a man one day who'll see beyond the packaging and know how beautiful you are on the inside, too.
