CHAPTER 23

Marie Terese had been convinced Vin was going to kiss her on the mouth.

And there was a part of her that wanted just that, but she’d been panicky, too: She might have technically been having sex at the club, but it had been three years since she’d actually been kissed. And the last time it had happened it had been forced on her as part of an act of violence.

Instead of giving her what she both wanted and feared, though, Vin had just pressed his lips to her forehead and eased her up against his chest, and here she was, in the strong arms of a man whose heart was beating close to her ear, whose warmth was leaching into her own body, whose big hand was making slow circles around her back.

Marie Terese smoothed her palm up his pecs. Underneath the cashmere, his body was hard, suggesting that he exercised a lot.

She wondered what he looked like without his clothes on.

She wondered what his mouth would feel like on hers.

She wondered how having him skin to skin would be.

“I guess we should probably go, ” he said, his voice rumbling through his chest. “Do we have to?”

His breath caught and then resumed. “I think we’d better.”

“Why?”

Vin shrugged, the movement rubbing his sweater against her cheek.

“Just think it’s for the best.” Oh, man…how about that for a polite brush off. Good God, what if she’d read it all wrong? Abruptly, she shifted upward, pushing herself off of him. “Yes, I think you’re right, ”

In her haste, her palm slipped on the fine nap of his sweater and brushed over something that was hard below his waist. And not hard as in bone.

“Damn, I’m sorry, ” he said, moving his hips away. “Yeah, it’s definitely time to pull out of here…”

She looked down. His erection was unmistakable, and what do you know, she had a roaring sexual response to it.

She wanted him.

Needed to have him inside of her. And all the rational reasons not to go there were suddenly nothing more than yada, yada, yada….

Locking eyes with him, she whispered, “Kiss me.” Vin froze in the process of getting up. As his chest expanded, he stared at the floor and didn’t say a thing.

“Oh, ” she said. “I understand.”

His body might have wanted her, but his mind was jamming at the thought of being with a whore.

In a horrible rush, she saw the faces of the Johns she had been with…or at least those she could recall. So many of them, more than she could count, and they crowded the space between her and this man who sat on his boyhood bed, looking as sexy as anything.

She hadn’t wanted the others. Had taken pains to be as separate from them as she could, layers of latex and dissociation barriers she used to try to stay as untouched by the contact as she could.

Vin, however…Vin she wanted close, and he couldn’t go there.

This was the real damage she had done to
