Chapter Eight

But Lexi didn’t leave. Her hand reached out and turned the lock on his office door. She returned to him and took his clenched hand in hers, trailing her fingers across his palm the same way he’d done to hers when she’d been frightened of zip-lining. His awareness of her almost overwhelmed him.

“Have you changed your mind, Scott?” she asked softly, her eyes still on their intertwined fingers.

He shook his head, forcing himself to ignore his need for her. “I’m not going to tell them anything about Derek. Even if it means I’ll never work for the agency again.”

She looked up at him now and her eyes held none of the judgment he expected to see there. “I meant about my offer.”

He sucked in a breath and jerked back his hand, but she held tight.

“Do you,” she asked, lifting his arm to place a whisper-light kiss on the inside of his wrist, “want to be with me?”

He nearly groaned. “It’s not about what I want,” he said with a ragged breath. “It’s about what’s good for you. I’m trying to protect you, Lexi.”

“I don’t need you to protect me.” She stepped closer, taking his other hand in hers, then running her fingers up his arms until they curved around his neck. “I want you, Scott.”

He knew he should walk away, but for the life of him, he couldn’t move a muscle. “Don’t do this,” he whispered.

“What?” Her smile belied the innocence in her voice. She reached up and pressed her mouth to his. “Do you mean this?” Her body leaned against his as her scent wound through his mind, filling his head with the most amazing pictures of her moving underneath him. “Or this?” Her tongue traced the seam of his lips like an invitation.

He knew it was wrong, but he couldn’t take any more of her sweet torture.

His arms tightened around her and he slanted his mouth over hers, taking control of the kiss. He felt her smile against him and melt into him even more, her desire stoking his until it was difficult to tell where he stopped and she began.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” He ground out the words before lifting her into his arms and carrying her to the couch pushed up against the far wall.

“This is all my fault,” she agreed, tugging at the hem of his shirt even as he lay her against the cushions.

He stripped off the shirt and almost smiled at the way her eyes widened. “Having second thoughts?” he asked, sitting up a bit. If she was smart enough to stop this beautiful madness, he had no choice but to let her.

To his surprise, she leaned forward and lifted her own shirt over her head. “Not a single one,” she said, watching him from eyes full of need and wonder. “I just hope I don’t disappoint you.”

Desire unfurled low in his stomach at the sight of her creamy skin under a peach-colored lace bra. “Seriously, how does a woman
