Chapter Ten

Chicken? Dylan had half a mind to show her what was really on his. If he did, there’d be no going back, because it involved the two of them being naked on that couch. And he couldn’t go there right now, no matter how much his body battled him.

“I have a word for you, too,” he said.

“I’m not so sure I want to hear this.” Her tongue darted across her lips, and he thought about how good she tasted, how he liked the way they fit when their bodies were molded together.

Against his better judgment, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her toward him until her body was flush with his. He was tempting his self-control with the move but there were times when he just had to say to hell with it.

“Beautiful. Sexy. Intelligent.”

“That’s three words,” she said against his mouth.

“I never was good at following rules.” He stood his ground. For the moment, logical thought ruled. If he stayed much longer, he couldn’t be certain he wouldn’t change his mind. And that was another reason he wanted to break off on his own. He needed to clear his thoughts. Being this close to her was doing crazy things to his normally practical head.

“You lose.” With that, she delved her tongue inside his mouth. His body tensed, all his muscles locking up at the same time, and he decided not to fight it. Instead, he placed his hand on the back of her neck, curling his fingers around the base, and tilted her head.

Dylan had had wild sex in the past but nothing that compared to the heat in this kiss.

He’d never believed in kisses that made a person go weak at the knees until right then.

His cell buzzed.

Dylan took a sharp breath. He needed to put a little space between him and Samantha. He liked how she fit him a little too much for either his or her own good.

A glance at the screen said it was Jorge. He showed it to her and then answered.

“I got interesting information for you, bro.”

“Hit me with it.” Dylan held the phone so that Samantha could hear.

“The corporation that owns the property for your drop is the same one that sent considerable funds to her father’s company about fifteen years ago. They’ve been making deposits ever since.”

Samantha sank down to her knees and folded forward.

Dylan guided her to the couch.

“You got any idea who’s behind that company?”

“Not yet. I’m still digging, though.”

“Thanks, man. I appreciate it.”

“You might not be thanking me when I send you my invoice this month.” Jorge laughed.

Dylan ended the call. Samantha sat there looking lost and alone, in fierce contrast to the woman who’d been in his arms moments ago. A little piece of the armor guarding his heart cracked.

“We’ll get to the bottom of this.”

“You know what
