Dante released Anna from the kiss.

God, she had a stranglehold on his body, and damn if it took every ounce of restraint to hold back, when what he really wanted was to strip her naked and be inside her right now.

But while he saw passion flare hot in the honey-brown depths of her eyes, he also saw a flicker of fear, and that meant he was going to have to slow things down. Because she could put on whatever show of bravado or tough act she wanted to, but he knew better. He felt the tension when he kissed her. He’d been with enough women in his lifetime to read the easy yield versus the hesitant one.

Anna was hesitant, and that meant things weren’t a go.

She might think she was ready, and maybe her body was willing, but her mind hadn’t yet come along for the ride.

He laid his hands on the counter on either side of her thighs and took a deep, cleansing breath, then raised his gaze to hers and offered up a smile, one that let her know how much he wanted her. Because he really did want her. His cock was hard and his whole body ached for her. But this wasn’t about what he wanted.

She arched a brow. “You’re kidding, right? I’m half-naked here, Dante.”

He took a long, slow look at her, from her messed-up hair that made her look sexy as hell, to her lips, swollen from his kisses, to her bra that barely covered her spectacular breasts, to her flat belly and those barely there shorts and her oh-so-hot long legs.

“You’re still dressed. All the important parts of you, anyway. I think we need to talk about this before we jump into having sex.”

“Are you fucking kidding me? Isn’t that usually the woman’s line?” She grabbed her tank top and pushed him away, leaping off the counter at the same time.

He turned. “Anna.”

“Don’t. Just don’t.” She pulled her shirt back on, then grabbed his and shoved it in his chest. “You’re angry.”

She whirled around to face him. “You think? I’ve just been rejected.”

“I didn’t reject you. I just want to talk.”

“Manspeak for I-don’t-think-you’re-hot-enough-to-fuck.” She stormed off into the living room.

He laughed and followed. “That’s not what I said. You are definitely hot enough to fuck.”

She stopped in the middle of the room and narrowed her gaze at him.

Okay, maybe laughing had been the wrong move. Good thing her gun was in the other room. Then again, she did have that hidden Glock in here somewhere.

“Don’t you dare laugh about this. You don’t get a woman all hot and bothered, then say you want to talk. Are you some kind of moron?”

“I guess I am. Look, you seemed tense.”

She threw her hands in the air. “Of course I was tense. You were kissing and touching me and I was turned on like crazy. Also, I haven’t had a decent orgasm in like six freaking months. Are you reading my lips here? Six. Months. You’d be tense, too, wouldn’t you?”

Dante gaped at her.
