The afternoon was just beginning when he finally drove up to her town house.

The tension had reappeared during the long car ride, and Hilary had had no idea how to stop it. Just sitting next to Devlin had produced an awareness that grew as the miles did. Every line of his body, every movement of his, had set off a deep pulsing within her. The air couldn’t seem to find her lungs, no matter how deeply she breathed it in. Hot, heavy syrup seemed to have replaced her blood, especially deep in her pelvis, where it throbbed convulsively. The car’s air-conditioning didn’t cool her off. Instead she felt as if the August heat and humidity had built to an all-time high inside her. Even telling herself that she’d humiliated herself in front of him—albeit unwittingly—didn’t stop the awareness and underlying physical tension.

She didn’t attempt conversation. Halfway up from the shore it had died an uncomfortable death anyway. Devlin had turned the radio on. He stared out the windshield, watching traffic, and she stared out the side window, watching the sights.

“Thank you,” she said, when he pulled into a parking slot near her town house.

“Yeah,” he muttered, turning off the ignition. “I see your car made it home all right.”

She turned around to look at her regular parking spot, but Devlin was in the way. A tiny voice inside her told her to stop staring. She could, she thought, if he stopped staring at her first. But those blue-green eyes held her mesmerized. She could feel her nipples tighten, and she could see his awareness of her reaction in his quickened breathing.

He reached across the space between them until his fingers touched her hair. They threaded through the strands slowly, as if testing them against his skin.

“Do you know you never wear it free like this?” he said in a quiet voice.

“Yes, I do,” she said, surprised that her calm tone betrayed none of the wild confusion bursting inside of her.

“I’ve never seen it.”

“Oh.” She knew she had to get out of the car now. “I should go.” She didn’t move.

“Yes. Yes, you should,” he said, even as his hand cupped her cheek.

The space between them suddenly closed to nothing. Their mouths met instantly, hungrily, in a thorough, breath-stealing kiss that inflamed her. His arm came around her, pulling her to him until her breasts were pressed to his chest. Only thin cotton separated flesh from flesh, and it proved to be no barrier at all. His fingers wrapped around her hair. His tongue circled and rubbed against hers, provoking the maddening sensations to even greater heights.

Warmth trickled along her flesh. She gripped his upper arm, her fingers curling around the corded muscles. It was as if she had anchored herself to him, rooting herself in reality even as she was being swept away. His fingers left her hair to trace a path down her cheek, then down between their bodies until he found her breast.

She moaned as his thumb rubbed across her nipple, fanning the aching heat to a fever pitch.
