Every demon chasing through Shaw’s mind got shoved behind a closed door the instant his mouth touched Atalee’s. She melted into his touch, breasts pressed to his chest and her arms spun around his neck, clinging to him as he slanted his mouth for more.

He dragged his lips away and dropped his forehead to hers, panting with the balls-out urge to take her right here on public park lands. A second ticked by, and she drew her hand down to his nape, her touch soft and sure.

“Shaw, this thing between us is strong, but I think you need to talk more.”

He nodded, nose brushing against hers.

She shifted in his lap as if to move back to her seat. Locking his hands on her hips, he said, “Don’t move.”

“If you’re sure you can think this way, but I—”

“No, there’s a man at the window. Don’t move out of my lap. Get my gun tucked in my waist along my spine.”

Her blood ran cold as she realized what he was telling her to do. She’d never touched a gun in all her life, and she hoped he wasn’t going to order her to fire it, because no way in hell could she.

Or maybe she could—under extreme circumstances. If it meant either of their lives, she could pull the trigger.

With fear pounding in her veins, she slowly slipped her hand down his shoulder, along his hard torso until she reached his hip and around his back. The steel under her hand scared the bejeezus out of her.

“Pretend you’re kissing me,” he told her. “And put the gun into my hand.”

Swallowing hard, she tipped her mouth up to his. He brushed his lips across hers, still tender despite the situation they found themselves in. Working the gun from the holster, her heart drummed so heavily she thought she might pass out.

When his fingers curled around the weapon she held, things happened fast and in a blur. He grabbed her and shoved her down and away from him even as he exploded out of the driver’s door. She couldn’t see what was going on, and she had to make sure he was okay.

Launching out the door after him, she saw Shaw standing with his legs braced wide and weapon trained on a guy who also held a gun.

“Let’s play a game of Russian roulette, why don’t we?” Shaw drawled out at the man. “You take a shot and I take a shot to see which one of us actually has a loaded weapon.”

The guy danced from foot to foot. “Give me your money and credit cards.”

“Why don’t you go fuck yourself? Or better yet, get clean and find a job that doesn’t involve ambushing people getting out of their cars at a park. Now”—his finger twitched on the trigger— “about that Russian roulette.”

Atalee could barely hear their voices above the pounding of her heart. She stood close to Shaw, but he didn’t flick his gaze away from his adversary. He did, however, move his leg ever so slightly, blocking her.
