.The guy told Rex there s a rat in Hades.He offered to give a name for a pricebut Bones said it was you.Rex isn t sure.He s setting up a trap to catch the rat himself.He said itwas on an island& Kirkland, I think.Other than a slight widening of the eyes, James appeared remarkably unperturbed. I knew therehad to be a mole.Every time I called in about a possible raid opportunity something went wrong.AndBones hasn t made any effort to hide his suspicions about me.I ve been waiting for them to set somekind of trap.Lana deflated. I guess I didn t need to risk your wrath after all. You came to warn me. His eyes warmed and he closed the distance between them. Don t thinkI don t appreciate it.It goes some way toward mitigating your otherwise unacceptable behavior.He leaned his forearm against the wall, blocking her view of anything except him.She closed hereyes and breathed in his scent, raw and masculine, leather and grease, with an ocean-breeze chaser. That s a shame, she whispered. I was hoping we might put this frisky fräulein outfit to gooduse. She bit her lip and whispered,  Willst du mit mir schlafen gehen?Her request for sex didn t meet with the expected response.James scowled and an angry rumblerolled through his chest. Did someone at Oktoberfest say that to you?Lana s cheeks burned and she bit her lip. Mmmm-hmmm.Some guy outside the restroom.Myfriend Hans translated it for me. You will never wear that outfit again, except in front of me.Is that clear? He traced her lipswith his thumb, then gently parted them.Lana s insides quivered and she trembled. Crystal. Warmed by his smile, Lana leaned up and tentatively brushed her lips over his. Youdidn t give me an answer. That s because I don t have to. In one swift, sudden motion he lifted her arms, pinning themover her head with one hand.His body pressed against hers, trapping her against the wall, his answerevident in the hard ridge of his erection pressed tight against her stomach.Lana shivered uncontrollably.James had been the only lover to understand this side of her, to seeher need to yield but not submit.The first time he d fully restrained her had been the first time she hadreally let go.It had been the first time she d ever trusted anyone enough to give up control.It had beenthe last night they d been together.A shudder racked her body.Too much.Too far.Too fast.They no longer shared that level of trust.Not even close. James&  Her words caught in her throat.Somehow, he understood.Dropping her wrists, he leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. It sokay. It s not okay. She bit her lip and drew in a ragged breath, remembering as she did the picture inhis dresser drawer. And it s not just that.I can t do this.You have someone.It s not& right.Chest heaving, James pulled back and frowned. I m not seeing anyone.Her face flushed. The girl.In the picture.In your drawer.I was looking around. She grimacedand her cheeks reddened.His mouth tightened and pain reflected in his eyes.But only for an instant. She died ten yearsago.Oh God.That s what she got for snooping.Her heart swelled, ached. I m so sorry.I didn t meanto bring it up. We ll just add it to your list of misdeeds, he said softly, his lips curving in a smile.He strokedthe bloom of her cheek with his thumb. Such a gentle heart for such a frisky fräulein.Before she could take a breath, he had her face between his palms, his lips on her lips, claimingher gently, driving away her every thought but the desperate need to have him inside her.She melted into him, welcoming the hardness of his body and the long, demanding caress of histongue.How many hours had she tossed and turned, remembering their wild nights together, his firmhands stroking their way over her curves, his tongue easing the ache between her thighs? You are impossible to resist at the best of times&  he murmured against her lips, his voice rawand husky with need,  & but in this outfit& She arched into him, offering herself to the soothing stroke of his hands.He cupped her breast,squeezing gently as he circled his thumb around her nipple through her clothing, drawing it to a tight,hard peak.Desire licked through her body and she burned for the moment he would be inside her.She hooked her leg around his calf and pulled herself tight against him, rubbing the curve of hersex over the erection straining beneath his jeans, her core tightening at the exquisite sensation. No. He gently detached her and stepped back, leaving her confused and breathless, aching. There is a price for disobeying the rules. He reclined on the bed and folded his arms behind hishead. Strip.Still reeling from his sudden withdrawal, Lana just stared. Babe, you re racking up the penalties like there s no tomorrow.I said strip. Excuse me? Everyone at Oktoberfest got a show.Hades got a show.Now it s my turn.You can start with thecap and work your way down. His eyes glittered fever-bright. Once you re naked, I ll decide whatto do with you. You ll decide? Nervous excitement ratcheted through her.He waved her toward the foot of the bed. I ll decide.She stared pointedly at the bulge in his jeans. Seems to me part of you has already decided.He gave her a warning look that sent quivers of need straight to her core. Seems to me there ssomething you want and you know what you have to do to get it.Of all the&Her hands found her hips. You think I can t just walk away? Babe, I don t think you want to walk away.And neither do I.Chapter TwelveA thrill of fear shot through Lana s veins. How about we just have sex? I m up for that.And apparently so are you.Right here.Right now.No foreplay needed.I don t even need a call tomorrow.No strings attached.Just a good old roll inthe hay, or against the wall, or even on the bed [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
