“I’m not the one who jumped up and ran to the bathroom e al since the kayaking trip I thought at first you were giving s, but now I realize you sisince before dessert broke free and trickled down her cheeks

He closed his eyes “Don’t cry, princess”

“I’m not” She didn’t even blush at the blatant lie

His eyes opened and met hers “You really don’t think I want you?”

She sniffed, blinking away theabout this now?”

“Yes, we can stop talking now” Then with a groan that sounded like a da possession of hers with passion that felt both angry and desperate, but enuine

He broke the kiss and rested his forehead against hers, his breath coed as her own “I don’t want to hurt you, sweetheart”

“Wanting me hurts me?” she asked in confusion

“There are reasons this thing between us can’t go anywhere”

“What reasons?” Then not even waiting for an answer, she said, “No, I don’t believe you That’s a copout I’ve been told all ht then and I’ht for us”

“You can’t always fight”

“I don’t believe that…unless…are you married?”

He barked out a harsh laugh “No”

“Engaged?”

“No”

“Seriously involved, or committed to someone else?”

“No”

“Then whatever you think this insurmountable obstacle is, we can overcome it”

“You don’t understand”

“So, maketo listen to hih that they did

He was perfect for her and she would convince hiht for him

If she’d thought his initial kiss was volatile, it was nothing compared to his response now He literally lifted her off her feet, pressing her body tightly against his as hisso hot, her lips felt like they were on fire

“You’re killingat the tender lobe and then laving it with his tongue

She couldn’t get her mouth to forainst hi her position between his big, hard body and the equally unforgiving wall

He licked along her neck, sending shivers all through her “You taste so good”

“Better than dinner?” she ed to tease Go her

“Better than anything,” he ground out in a voice that held no aer

How had she gone her whole life without feeling this way even once before? But the ansas obvious She had not yet met Sebastian Hawk and no one else could or wouldinside her again…like it had at the lake She could feel the overwhel toward the inevitable peak, but she wasn’t ready for it

She wasn’t ready for this to end and she wanted to bring Sebastian pleasure, too She knew he’d found his release at the lake, or at least she thought that hat his shout had meant, but she wanted to see him this time

To see his face in the throes of passion beyond his control She needed that

An annoying beep tried to inored it in favor of touching Sebastian’s neck and back,the play of his sculpted ertips

With a curse, he suddenly let her go and stepped away from her as he fumbled for the phone in his pocket

CHAPTER SIX

SHE tried to burrow back into his arust on his face as he pushed her away
