EXCERPT 1
“Baby, why in the hell is your door un—” Kade’s mind went blank and he forgot what he was going to say as he walked toward the sound of Krista’s voice and her music, which, for once, was turned down at a more tolerable level. Kade stopped walking or talking when he caught sight of Krista coming out of her bathroom in nothing but that same short-short robe of hers. But, this time, her hair was down and curled in waves, and her face—damn, every time he saw her she was beautiful, but now, she was fuckin’ gorgeous. He stood frozen for a minute. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her face. Even knowing how sexy she was in that damn short robe, he still couldn’t move his eyes beyond that gorgeous face.
“Irish, are you okay? Is something wrong?” He heard Krista ask a question. He even heard the concern in her voice, but still he could only stand there and stare. When she took another step toward him, he was finally able to speak again.
“You’re gorgeous…” He managed to croak out and she smiled, and that ‘gorgeous’ took a jump up. “You’re incredibly gorgeous.” He was repeating himself. She smiled bigger and walked up to him. “Damn, and you smell incredible too,” he groaned when she got close enough for him to catch her scent. Then he moved, pulling her close, and kissed her. Hard. He ran his hands down her back to cup her ass, but when they dropped lower, all he felt was skin and he froze again. Kade raised his head and took her hands in his. “Baby, you have nothing on under that damn sexy robe and you need to put something on.” Dropping her hands, he took a step back, away from her. When she just stood there and looked up at him, he could see disappointment in her face, but he also saw hurt. Did she think he was rejecting her? Before he could put a whole thought together, she wheeled around to go to her room. “Baby, you look so absolutely incredible, and it’s taking everything I got in me to hold myself back, but you gotta’ help me with that.”
Krista stopped in mid step, coming back to him. She wrapped her arms around his waist, kissing him in the middle of his chest. When he met her eyes, she whispered huskily to him, “What if I don’t want to help you with that? What if I don’t want you to hold yourself back?” Krista knew she was playing with fire, but the look on his face made her feel powerful.
“Baby, do you know what you’re saying?” Was that voice his? That voice that seemed to tremble and break? Kade locked his hands behind his back, knowing if he touched her again, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself.
“Yes.”
