CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Some days the supply of curse words was insufficient for her needs.

Alex peeled off the heels she was crap at wearing and set them beside her in the seat well of the town car. Wiggle, wiggle. Exposing her feet to the heated interior provided not nearly enough of a distraction from her tumble of thoughts, especially as the jacket she wore smelled of Eli. Another one of his nefarious moves, that knuckle-dragging shyster.

He might as well have raised his leg and peed all over her. She did not need his protection. She had overbearing brothers for that.

But for all his bossiness, for all his interfering know-it-allness, the connection between them was irrefutable. Like fire, it had no choice but to seek out oxygen. It needed it to exist. She wasn’t sure what point she was trying to make to her muddled mind, but she knew that his mouth on hers might help her catch her breath. His hands on her breasts and his fingers stroking between her thighs might help inflate her lungs. This man would be her personal self-contained breathing apparatus.

The things he had said to her on the dance floor, his laundry list of wicked wants: if that was the seduction, what the hell would the sex be like? On the other side was the stick: I won’t talk to you, text you, interact with you in any way. Could she stand to sever their connection and deny herself this pleasure? The very idea that her body—not her heart!—refused to let her walk away from this was troubling in itself. A woman in control should be able to toss off a ta-ta, loser and never look back, right?

She thought back to Kinsey’s words about separating out the orgasms and just enjoying the (cock) ride. Easier said than done. Could she make it as easily done as said? Time to see if she was as kick-ass as she claimed to be.

Finally, Eli’s SUV pulled up outside his house. (So she’d headed straight to Lincoln Park and beaten him by five minutes—he was not the boss of her.) Slipping her feet back into their high-heeled prisons, Alex opened the town car door and, less than gracefully, clambered out into the biting January chill. No going back now. The windows of Eli’s car were dark tinted, so she couldn’t see him, but it only enhanced the cloak-and-dagger nature of it all. Not that she needed extra thrills with Eli—on the anticipation scale of one to ten, everything was turned up to eleven with him. He excited her like no man she had ever met.

The passenger-side door opened, and a long, suited leg stepped out followed by the body of the hottest guy on the planet. He saw. He froze. His lips moved and then he moved, stalking toward her with terrifying purpose. She backed up one step but he was on her in a flash, his hands curving around her face, his mouth hot and needy.

“You’re here,” he whispered between all-consuming kisses.
