Kane didn’t look in the mirror over his bathroom sink as he washed up. He focused instead on one task at a time. Wash his hands. Button up his shirt. Zip up his pants. Buckle his—ah, the belt was missing.

But he couldn’t ignore the slight, almost imperceptible, shaking of his fingers.

He hadn’t realized that, by encouraging Presley, he would unleash a tigress—not in a kinky way, but in the fierce way Presley made love. That intensity had reached a part of him Kane hadn’t been prepared for her to touch.

I need a moment...just a moment more. The mantra was the only refrain in the stunned silence of his mind.

He would not think of Emily. Would not think about how this act, with this woman, far surpassed anything he had experienced before. How was that even possible?

I need a moment.

Far from ready, he stepped back into his bedroom, only to realize he might have been gone longer than he’d thought. Presley sat primly in the chair by the floor lamp, fully dressed. The small pool of light in the darkened room emphasized her isolation. At first glance, she looked exactly how she had when she’d come in here, but a closer look revealed the difference. The disheveled thickness of her hair. The slight twist at the waistband of her dress, giving it an off-kilter look. The shoes she had yet to slip onto her carefully placed feet.

“I need to go home.”

The husky edge to her voice stirred him again, almost obliterating the actual words as he remembered her cries echoing in his ears. Then what she said truly registered.

Trying to keep things light, he asked, “Isn’t that usually the man’s line?”

Her eyes widened slightly, planting guilt in his heart for teasing her.

“I’m not really used to the protocol of these situations,” she finally murmured.

Boy, he was an ass. But he’d been trying to ease her into being comfortable with their new, well, whatever this was. It certainly wasn’t business. But it wasn’t wholly pleasure, either, if their current strained conversation was any indication.

For a moment, Kane’s fists clenched.

He hadn’t intended things to go this far—though that was a lie if he thought long and hard about it. This woman held a unique attraction for him that he didn’t understand and wasn’t sure he was entirely comfortable with. In truth, he hadn’t intended things to go this far tonight. But the sensations had quickly swept him away, like a river with category-four rapids.

He didn’t realize he’d been staring until she reached up to smooth her hair back into place. When that didn’t seem to work, she instinctively gathered it and put it back into its regular ponytail. Only she had no tie to hold it.

Without thought, he stepped to his chest of drawers. He took a ribbon from the valet box and extended it toward the woman who’d just rocked his world.

“Thank you,” she murmured, then tied her hair back. She didn’t ask where the ribbon was from.

Kane didn’t offer.

Instead he knelt before her, resting his palms against her elbows.
