Chapter 11

She tasted like the heat of a sunny day, not the chill of an early spring night. And when she softened rather than stiffened beneath his hands and mouth, he gave up any pretense of trying to control himself where she was concerned.

The past, the present, were so tangled up in his head and in his heart, he didn’t even try to convince himself that he knew the difference anymore. He wanted to think he was well past that part of his life. Clearly, he was not. Because no woman of such recent acquaintance would have him this tied up. For that matter, no woman would, regardless of how long he’d known her.

Except, apparently, Kate Sutherland.

“You’re supposed to be stopping me,” he murmured against her lips.

She slid her arms around his neck and tugged him closer. “Now, why would I want to do that?”

His body soared to life. Like it needed encouragement. “You had rules.” He kissed his way along the soft line of her jaw.

She sighed and relaxed more fully into him, tipping her chin to allow him access to that tender spot beneath her ear. “My rules were hasty and very shortsighted.”

He kissed the spot where her pulse throbbed, eliciting the tiniest of moans. It was enough to make him hard to the point of pain. And he wanted desperately to hear her do that again. “How so?”

She turned her head and surprised him by dropping her own set of fast, hot kisses against his neck, ending with a nip of his earlobe that had his body twitching hard and maybe a groan of his own in the back of his throat.

“That,” she said, her voice soft and husky. “There should be more of that in life. Why did I think I should deny myself that?”

“I have no idea.” He turned her mouth to his and took it hard and fast.

She didn’t miss a heartbeat. She ran her fingertips up the back of his neck and dug them into his hair, holding him where she wanted him, which was with his mouth against hers, lips parting, tongues dueling.

He started to push her jacket down her arms, then remembered where they were standing. Not that she was stopping him. The very idea that she wouldn’t stop him—at all—surged through him until standing still became a challenge. “This is crazy, you know that,” he said, his breaths coming more rapidly as they tore at each other. “You are—” He was unable to finish the thought as she elicited a long groan of satisfaction from
