His mouth was eating away at hers with a hunger he felt in his groin and she was kissing him back with a greed that matched his own. He was convinced his testosterone was out of whack, causing every nerve in his body to bring him to full awareness of her, even in the air he was breathing. Her scent was driving him insane. Before they got arrested for indecent exposure, he broke off the kiss and breathed in deeply. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered, “I think we’d better leave here now, don’t you?”

Instead of answering, she nodded and he took her hand in his. After going back to the table to sign the check, they walked hand in hand out the restaurant.

BRYCE KNEW THIS was crazy. Absolutely, unconditionally, unequivocally crazy. But at the moment she couldn’t help it. Even while sitting in Kaegan’s car with the night’s wind hitting her in the face, it wasn’t putting any sense back into her brain. She was too far gone for that. Her mind and body were ruled by something she hadn’t counted on. A deep sexual need.

After going without a man for nearly four years, her body was protesting. It had taken as much as it would take and those damn battery-operated boy toys weren’t enough. It wanted the real thing, from the real deal. It wanted the man who’d ruined her body for any other man.

Tonight was tonight. What would happen tomorrow? The day after? Then the day after that? She had no idea and, honestly, at the moment she didn’t care. Bottom line was that she needed Kaegan to make love to her. Tonight. She would deal with tomorrow tomorrow.

He wasn’t saying anything. He hadn’t said anything since they’d left the restaurant. Music was playing on his radio. No longer jazz but a sultry sound of soul. The lyrics spoke of love, making love and endless love. She tried ignoring the words and concentrating on the music.

And on the man driving the car.

It no longer mattered what women he’d made love to after her. She’d had him first. She and Kaegan had taught each other to kiss, to feel, to touch. Nobody could ever take those things away from her or from them. She realized they were not the teens and young adults they once had been, where their worlds revolved around each other and no one else. They were mature adults who saw things differently than before.

Tonight she was definitely into her feelings, and what she was feeling more than anything was Kaegan Chambray. There was something she needed to know, though. “Did I give you a code back there, Kaegan?” she asked.

He only took his eyes off the road for a quick second. That was enough. Even in the moonlight shining in the car, she could see a flash of heat in those dark eyes. “Yes, you coded me.”

She swallowed. “And what was the code?” While dancing with her eyes closed, she had thought of several erotic things. And he’d been the leading man in all of them.
