JAZZ YEARNED TO BE the woman Matt thought she was.

Gazing into his eyes, she could almost see herself the way he did. As a woman who’d been victimized by circumstances and not one who had a criminal legacy. Almost.

“You don’t know everything about me.” She spoke through the fingers still covering her lips.

“I don’t need to.” Matt slid his fingers to the back of her neck and cupped her head with a gentle hand.

The anticipation that he was about to kiss her buzzed through her veins. He had a beautiful mouth, his lower lip rich and full, his upper lip slightly bowed in the center.

She’d let him kiss her, Jazz decided. She even wanted him to, just to see if she’d blown the first kiss out of proportion. She’d told herself again and again over the last few days that no kiss could be as electrifying as she remembered.

Jazz moved forward, closer and closer to finding out. And then her mouth was on his, her fingers threading through the golden-brown strands of his thick hair.

Her lips molded to his while she breathed in the clean, warm scent that was uniquely his. Her nerve endings came alive, heightening her senses. He tasted wonderful and ever so slightly of a rich, luscious coffee.

Yes, that was it. He tasted luscious.

She pressed against the solid length of him, yearning to be closer. She felt his erection against her lower abdomen at the same time he coaxed her mouth open. It didn’t take much persuading.

Matt’s tongue slid against hers, arousing all sorts of sensations she hadn’t felt in years before he’d kissed her by the pool. Maybe she’d never felt anything like it. Heat built inside her, flickering like the sparks before a fire broke out. She rubbed against him, feeling the heat pool at her very center.

One of his hands slid slowly down her back, settling on her rear end, bringing her closer against his arousal. Their kiss got deeper, more furious.

Jazz had never felt passion like this. It rose inside of her like a living thing until her world spiraled out of control. That could be because Matt had swept his arms under her knees and her feet were off the ground. His lips were on the side of her mouth, then at her throat. Her flip-flops slipped off her feet and landed on the carpet with a soft thump.

“Bedroom?” Matt rasped.

She couldn’t tell if he was asking for directions or permission. It didn’t matter. She couldn’t think.

“Down the…hall,” she said.

Matt took off in that direction, striding the length of the hall and nudging open the partially cracked door to her bedroom with his foot. He flipped a switch on the wall that turned on the ceiling fan and her bedside lamp.

The room was her favorite, decorated in a kaleidoscope of colors with a psychedelic bedspread set off by sky-blue walls she’d stenciled with azaleas, her favorite flower. Jazz had never allowed anyone into her sanctuary. Until now.

Matt deposited her on the bed, kicked off his shoes and quickly joined her.
