Chapter Ten

Her eyes closed as he accepted the invitation. Their lips met and nothing else seemed to matter. Soft, pliant, her lips molded to his as he brushed over them in a gentle kiss. As he nibbled across the width of her mouth, her fingers moved across his shirt, scorching the skin beneath. Travis held his breath and waited. Her fingers paused at the scar. However, instead of backing away, Glory continued, stopping long enough at his heart to place her palm flat against his chest, and he felt hers beating with the same measure. Slowly her hands moved on until her arms encircled his neck. Travis was lost in the feel of her supple body. A soft moan rose from her throat, and he grasped her tighter in fear she might pull away.

To his surprise, Glory relaxed her knees and leaned against him, using his body as support. Buoyed by her courage, he traced the line of her jaw with small nips, to the sensitive point below her left ear. His ears filled with the sound of her ragged breath as he swirled his tongue against the wild throb of the vein.

“Travis.”

His name on her lips was like a prayer as he captured her mouth once more. This time, he teased it open and sent his tongue to capture the sweetness within. Her hands slid to the collar of his shirt, grasping the fullness of the cloth and hanging on as their mouths danced a fiery tango.

His blood heated a degree higher as her fingers tugged against the snaps of his shirt, popping them open. Now it proved his turn to sigh as her fingers moved against his skin in swirling feathery touches. Their kisses grew hungrier. His fingers tugged at the tail of her shirt, releasing it from the waistband of her jeans, and he encircled her warm skin.

His lungs ached for air, yet he didn’t wish to give up the ground he’d taken. He could feel her need for air as her breasts rose against her shirt and created a delightful friction against his skin. He wanted her. The realization slammed into him with the same force as the kick of a Brahma bull. But not here. Not out in the open, like this. With deep regret, Travis pulled his lips away and, resting his forehead against hers, stared into her face.

Her glance flicked over him. He could see a bit of doubt fill the deep pools of sapphire blue. Lifting his right hand from her waist, he brushed back a wisp of hair from against her cheek. “You’re so beautiful.”

The edges of her lips curled in response.

“But to take you here, now”—he sighed with regret—“would be all shades of wrong.”

He felt Glory pull away. His gaze searched her frozen expression. Fearing this conversation might end in yet another misunderstanding, Travis hastened his statement, hoping to explain. “I don’t know where my life is leading, Glory. I can’t promise any more than to say I’ll be here come morning.
