Chapter Ten

Briar straddled Dalton’s thighs, sliding forward until he felt the soft heat of her sex settle flush against his growing hardness, flesh separated from flesh by a couple of layers of clothing. The sensation rocketed straight to his brain, exploding like fireworks and spreading molten pleasure to every part of his body. Convulsively tightening his trembling fingers in her tangle of curls, he flattened his other hand against the small of her back, urging her hips forward to increase the delicious friction building between their bodies.

He nuzzled his way down the curve of her throat, his lips brushing lightly over her skin. He kissed the skin beneath her jaw, the delicate curve of her chin, then lightly nipped his way back up to her mouth.

Her lips parting beneath the pressure of his own, she surged toward him, flattening her breasts against his chest. Her fingers skimmed his rib cage through his shirt, exploring the ridges as if seeking to map every contour. Her actions sparked a fresh surge of heat through his blood and fire along the path her fingers traveled, until his whole body felt on the verge of combustion. He didn’t even care when her gentle touches tugged the still-tender skin of his wounded side.

Somewhere in the depths of his desire-addled brain, he knew what they were doing was a mistake. But he couldn’t seem to quell the primal urge to bury his hardness in her soft heat, and her sweet, fierce response to his touch drove out what remained of his good sense.

So easy, he thought. So easy to bury himself inside her and forget about everything else. Forget the tatters of his life. The danger gathering like a firestorm outside the walls of their sensual cocoon.

So easy to drop his guard.

Just as he’d dropped it earlier tonight in the parking lot.

With another groan, he dragged his mouth from hers, his breath coming in harsh, rapid gasps. He caught her hips in both hands and moved her carefully away from his own hips. “Briar, this isn’t a good idea.”

She dropped her head forward, let it fall against his shoulder. Her curls whispered against his cheeks. “I know.”

For a long moment, they just breathed together, hitching, syncopated gasps that slowly ebbed into gentle sighs. Finally, she rolled away from his lap, slumping back against the sofa cushions. “I’m sorry,” she said.

Her words surprised him so much that he couldn’t stop a soft huff of laughter. “For what?”

“For...that.”

He couldn’t quite stop himself from teasing her a little. “For riding me like a cowgirl in a rodeo?”

She flashed him a look that made him laugh a little harder.

“Come on, Briar. We’re adults. No harm done, right?”

Except he wasn’t so sure about that, was he? He wasn’t a man prone to indulging his body’s urges without consideration and thought. His control, in fact, was damned near legendary, leading more than one woman he’d dated to accuse him of having ice in his veins instead of blood.

But no ice could have survived the flood of fire that had swamped his body at Briar’s touch.
