She went still, then stared up at hiaze, his own unreadable At his silence, she pushed away fro her back against his chest She closed her eyes, trying to fight back tears, the frustration of giving to a rip on her, and she felt ainst the shell of her ear "Dao"

"You make me crazy," he said

"Clearly" She shook her head "I threw myself at you and you turned me down That sounds crazy to me, too"

Still behind her, he had one hand low on her belly, the other across the front of her thighs She could feel hiainst her

"I’m not one to fall in love," he said so softly she alht to free herself but he held her still "I’ve been in lust plenty of tiainst her ear "But I haven’t done love Not once Not since you"

Oh, God if that didn’t just about kill her, and she fought hiain, but for an entirely different reason now He’d never aduessed, but she’d never known for sure She wanted to turn and face hiet closer, but it was useless He had her in his grip "Adam--"

"You scare the hell out of ain, you know Right into your sweet baby blues and never come back up for air"

She went still

"Yeah," he ood for either of us Last chance, Holly Stop this Stop led free, turned around, and nuzzled his neck until he bent his head, seeking her lips He hoisted her up, and she wrapped her legs around him as he turned to his bed

Milo hopped off just as Ada Holly doith hiain if she was sure, or if she wanted to change her s she loved about hiuuessed her, and he didn’t try to change her

He accepted

Feeling choked up again at the thought, she snuggled up against his broad chest He took one of her hands and slid it down his stoot tired of touching him, but it was Adam as iood out of his clothes as in them, proven when he sat up to kick off his jeans, his abs crunching, folding in on themselves without an ounce of fat, the lucky bastard

Except she kneasn’t luck It was hard work

With his every movement, the testosterone practically leaked out his pores, le in her hot spots, and he’d barely touched her They rolled on the bed, jockeying for position, teasing, stroking…Adaainst her She loved rubbing herself over hih between her legs Mainst her soft skin, the way he quivered when she ran her hands over his taut …even better It didn’t matter what he’d done that day, he always tasted like warer over her boy-cut panties "Off"

She reached for the her of the his own sensory inventory of her body before slipping a hand between her legs "You should wear a warning label," he said

"Like you’d heed a warning label"

This garnered her a s her moan with sheer pleasure as the contour of his hard chesther hair over her shoulder, he gently put his lips to the sweet spot beneath her ear His hands roae to all her favorite spots, of which he seele one

She tipped her head up, catching his rowls, this one pure hunger, as he slid down her body Her heart began to pound in her chest as he kissed every inch Sliding his hands beneath her, he pulled her forward

To his ht up as the pleasure reverberated through her

He pushed her back down, ht where he wanted her Then he lowered his head and went back to driving her out of her ever-loving ed hi for the condoot hi her as he slid in deep With a gasp, she tore her h the first delicious slide of their joining

"Holly" That was all he said, just her na her eyes open to look at hi hie, and she hovered there,hi her, whimpers she couldn’t have held back to save her own life Finally, she burst with his naroan, he followed her over, shuddering in her ar for air, damp and utterly limp, she purred when Adaliding along the line of her shoulder while his own breathing slowed

"Wow," she finally ed "I like your moves while under the influence"

"That wasn’t the Jack"

She recognized the tone of his voice--pure o--and hid her smile "No?"

"Hell no"

"Hmm"

He lifted his head, eyes narrowed "You doubt it?"

"Of course not"

He crooked a finger at her "Co her beneath hiain, his face intent, his hands evenin triuain

Much later, she arm, still pleasantly fuzzy with the whiskey, and just about as happy as she could ever reain

And she wasn’t sure she cared…

Twenty-two

Adam woke up alone Well, not entirely alone Milo was sprawled across most of the entire bed, his head heavy on Ada

Adam looked around but nope, there was no soft, warm, sexy female anywhere, and then he re low over him, she’d slid a hand down his back as she’d kissed hi Then she’d nipped his ear, slapped his ass, and vanished

Fair enough It had been a seduction, after all, and she’d gotten what she’d coht of day, he had to wonder what the hell he’d thought he’d been doing He didn’t want a relationship Never had He liked being accountable to no one, not having to worry about anyone else’s schedule or, worse, feelings His life was busy and he didn’t have time or inclination to fit anyone into it
