Linc has his entire body pressed into mine and he has taken absolute possession of er fly out of rab onto his shirt to desperately keep him in place

I've never been kissed like this before It is hard, possessive and as our teeth knock together, I realize sorabs hold of roan out ofaway

My chest is heaving with the effort to breathe, and although Linc has pulled his lips from mine, his erection is still pressed into my belly I itch to move my hand down and take hold of it

"Ever," Linc begins, looking straight into my eyes "Renner was not a date She's ether and she's like a sister to me In fact, she's the one that threw the shoe that split my chin open"

"She clocked you with her shoe?" I a stiletto at hirooman do that

He chuckles "Yes I believe she was seven years old when she threw one of her Mary Jane's at me in a fit of temper Lesson learnednever piss off a red head"

I can't even respond Huroan I try to pull out of his arms so I can run to my bedrooht So I do the next best thing and I bury my face in his chest I'h his t-shirt I'h that I fail to notice the hard muscles of his chest under my hot cheek

I can feel hiiveon to my upper arms, otherwise I would have bolted

"That was quite a display of jealousy you gave omery"

My head snaps up and I glare at him "I was not jealous!"

He merely raises an eyebrow at ive hirin and he chuckles at me

Then he leans in and captures ain Except this ti more to come

To my dismay, it's also way too short

When he pulls back, he's looking at me solemnly "Everdon't let there be any doubt that I want you Only you You're all I fucking think about"

Ohshoes with the want and frustration in his voice All of the doubts that I had have fled He truly does want me And God help me, but I want him too

When we come back from our run, I head toward the bathroo my hand

"Where are we going? And why are you springing this on me just now?"

"I go out to Jackson, Wyo every summer for my vacation I've had this planned but I wanted to surprise you"

I re our interview and a little thrill rushes through ht of me and Linc holed up in aThe mere fact that he wanted to surprise me causes butterflies to let loose in esture This has to be the "so special" he has planned It has to be

But then I re

"Uh, Linc I can't stay for a whole week"

"Why not? You're on assign or wanting to say the whole ith him

"I know And I would love to stay the whole week But it's o home to spend it with her I meanafter the cancerI don't want to miss one of her birthdays"
