Chapter Eight
Lucilla stood on her porch, looking up into Jagerâs tense face. âYou did the right thing.â
âThen why do I feel like Iâve just let my entire race down?â
She put her hand to his face, cupping his cheek tenderly. âNo, Jager. I think you saved it.â
He didnât look convinced.
âLook, the only people youâve undermined are Rhea and her underlings. Even Zeus came to you for help. That says something.â
âI did it for you.â
Though his motives might be selfish, his heart was in the right place. Hers, however, had taken flight.
âAramis will speak to the Council and theyâll take precautions.â She moved closer to him. âYouâve given them time.â
âI suppose there is that. But thereâs always the possibility the other Titans will side with her in this.â
âYouâve been in that position before and come out on top.â
He backed her up to the house, pressing her between his hard body and heavy oak door. âLet me come in.â He nuzzled the sensitive place behind her ear. âYou smell and feel so good.â
Lucilla knew inviting him in would result in only one outcomeâtheyâd end up in bed. But sheâd only agreed to a date, not to an affair.
As Jager continued to kiss a line down her throat, her resistance fled. His large hands rubbed her back, moving low enough to skim over the curve of her bottom. He pulled her closer. The ridge of his erection ground into her, right under her breast. Goddess, but he was a tall cauldron of brew. He thrust his hips slowly forward, moving between her cleavage. He moaned.
This had gone too far for a goodnight kiss.
He pulled back, breath puffing the hair around her face. âTell me it isnât serious between you and Blacktalon.â
âI hardly know the man. Heâs friends with my Aunt Rebekah.â
He sent a long finger to trace her brow, cheeks and mouth. âYou two looked pretty friendly.â
âHeâs a nice man. A good man. I think I can match him with someone from my agency.â
Jager gave a throaty laugh. âSo you see him as a potential client, not a lover?â
âI see everyone as a potential client. Itâs one of the keys to my success.â Lucilla gazed into his eyes. His were full of smoldering desire.
How long had she waited to know the potent pull of a manâs passion?
âLet me come inside.â This time the request came out as a rough plea.
Oh, who was she kidding? She wanted nothing more than to ride him like a broomstick on a full moon.
She turned in the circle of his embrace to unlock the door. Jagerâs arms came around her waist. His mouth descended on her shoulder.
Why did it take so long to unlock a door? Her fingers didnât to want to perform the mundane task. All they wanted to do was turn and begin ripping Jagerâs expensive suit from his hard Titan body.
âHaving problems?â
âYes, and you arenât helping.â
Jager placed his hand on hers. âAllow me.â
They made it into the house, but stalled on the stairs. With arms and legs tangled, it was hard to navigate.
