CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Declan placed a tentative kiss on her open lips, but within seconds there was nothing tentative about the way his mouth explored hers. No hint of tenderness or restraint. Just pure, unadulterated passion. Chasyn savored every second of it. She explored the chiseled angles of his face with her fingertips while his tongue teased hers. The flicker in her stomach sparked to flame when he ran his hands along her sides, lingering near the swell of her breasts.

Chasyn’s hands dropped to the broad expanse of his shoulders and she dug her fingernails in as he pulled her lower lip between her teeth, then began to kiss his way down her throat. Her head fell back, giving him unfettered access to her neck as her body turned into a taut rope of desire. Everywhere he kissed, her skin burned. She drank in the scent of his woodsy cologne as he nibbled and teased her collarbone. With her pulse pounding in her ears and her heart beating erratically, Chasyn got lost in the pleasurable sensations surging through her. She wanted more. No, needed more.

Then that little voice in her head reared its ugly head. What are you doing?

Making out with a guy in a parking lot. And not just any guy—the man who held her life in his hands. At least temporarily. The man who could make her weak in the knees with just a few well-placed kisses.

Gently, she placed her palms on his chest and pushed away, ignoring the sense of regret that accompanied the action. “This is a bad idea,” she managed over the lump of raw need lodged in her throat.

He tilted his head to the side and regarded her with a sexy half-smile. “It was working for me.”

“I’m sure it was,” she said as she straightened her disheveled clothing. “But it isn’t what I want.”

“Liar,” he said without accusation. “Or did you think I didn’t notice the way you were looking at me a little while ago?”

Chasyn attempted to fight off the urge to blush. “You were the one walking around without a shirt.”

“Well, if it makes you feel more comfortable, feel free to walk around my house without a shirt, too. I won’t mind.”

She gave him a sidelong glance. “Very magnanimous of you.”

His expression grew more serious. “What can I say? I’m attracted to you and you’re attracted to me and we’re consenting adults.”

“I never said I was attracted to you,” she protested, though her words sounded insincere even to her own ears.

His smile broadened. “You’re a lousy liar. Do you think I haven’t noticed the way you look at me? Did you think I wouldn’t respond to that?”

“You’re supposed to be my bodyguard, not my lover,” she lamely protested.

Her shrugged. “I can multitask.”

Maybe he had a point. Maybe there was nothing wrong with a harmless fling. Only something told her it wouldn’t be a casual fling. Could she handle a no-strings-attached relationship with this man? What was the alternative? Walking away? That thought filled her with sadness and a sense of loss.
