touch of another person.
It only took one kiss from this man to bring it all back and she put all her pent-up
longing, all her relief, all of her into the kiss.
And Kyle took it. He kissed her with heat and passion, making no concessions.
And it freed her.

Kiss of Moonlight
Burning hot desire, so different from anything she d ever felt, made her clutch at
him, open her mouth wider to give him more access. Made her want more.
Kyle groaned, the sound close to a growl as his mouth slanted even further over
hers.
He was so strong, he only needed one arm to hold her against him. He used his
other hand to sweep down, over her ass to her thigh, urging her to bend and lift her leg
so he could curve it around his waist. Her other leg followed, the bite of still-healing
muscles only a faint ache, until she clung to him, wrapped around him. Their bodies so
close she felt every movement of his lungs and the play of muscles in his chest as his
hands pressed her even closer.
She tightened her legs around him, arching into him
And he broke the kiss, so abruptly she gasped and her eyes flew open to stare into
his, the burnished gold darkened with passion. He stared at her for endless seconds,
before he put one hand on her nape and guided her head onto his shoulder.
 Whoa, sweetheart. Just& give me a minute. He released a long breath.  Holy
shit.
With lust still burning in her veins like lava, she had to agree. Holy shit was right.
The hand at her nape began a slow massage, as though he was trying to gentle her.
His heart raced against hers, letting her know just how much he d been into that kiss.
So why had he pulled away?
Hell, you threw yourself at him. What man wouldn t be turned-on by that?
True.
Had she misread him? Had he only been responding to her desire and not his own?
Did he think she d acted like a slut?
Her heart began to pound, anxiety spreading like ice water through her body.
 Tam. Are you okay?
Shit. No, she wasn t okay. She was an idiot. A fucked-up mess.
She had to get out of there.
Unwrapping her legs from his waist, she let them hang, silently asking him to put
her down.
Obviously, the man didn t take hints because he swung her into his arms as if she
weighed nothing at all and walked into the house.
With her face buried in his neck, she couldn t ever remember a man carrying her
like this. Was she wrong to like it so much?
In the kitchen, he set her on the breakfast bar, planted one hand next to her hip and
put the other under her chin to lift her head so he could look into her eyes.
His gaze held no censure, only concern.  Tamra. Are you all right?
No, she didn t think she was. Emotions she hadn t had to deal with for months
rioted through her body.

She wanted him, which was both exhilarating and confusing. She wanted to lose
herself in him, but now he stared at her like he was worried about her mental state. And
she really didn t want him to worry about that.
 Are you sorry you kissed me? she asked.
His eyebrows downshifted hard.  Hell no. I m just&  He straightened and scraped
a hand through his hair.  Damn it, Tamra. I don t want to scare you.
He said that as if he knew she had reason to be scared. But he couldn t know.  Do I
look scared?
He continued to stare into her eyes and she began to worry that he could see all her
secrets, all the darkness, all the chaos she tried to keep locked inside. All of which
receded when he kissed her.
God, when he kissed her&
He sighed, his mouth flattening into a tight line.  No. You don t. Still, I m sorry.
That was 
 Yeah, sorry is so not what I want to hear right now.
Kyle s eyes narrowed and the lust he d tried to stuff back into its dark corner
started to fight him.
No, she didn t look scared.
She looked turned-on. Hot. For him.
After he d practically devoured her.
He d never done that before. He d never grabbed a woman and kissed her just
because she made him hornier than he d ever been in his life.
Gods damn it, she was twenty-three, fifteen fucking years younger than him. He
wasn t supposed to be the one acting like a hormone-ridden teenager.
He sighed.  Look, I don t want you to think I attack every woman who comes into
my house.
Shit. He hadn t meant to say that, to use that word. Attack. Hadn t meant to remind
her&
She stilled but then a sweet smile curved her lips and made his already hard dick
throb.
 You didn t attack me, she said so softly he barely heard her.  But I m glad to hear
this isn t your normal greeting, she said.  I have to admit this is a first for me too. I m
not normally& so forward.
No, she d been emotionally stunted by a violent attack that he supposedly knew
nothing about. He sighed and tried to smile back but it was tough.  Okay, let s agree
this is something new and different for both of us. I just& don t want you to be worried
about me coming on too strong.

Her eyes narrowed and her head tilted to the side, watching him with an intensity
that made him burn.  But you want me, don t you? I didn t imagine that.
Vaffanculo, she was going to kill him.
What the hell had happened to the lonely, scared girl he d met last night? What the
hell had changed between then and now? Was it just the fact of their mutual attraction?
He d never had that effect on anyone before. Why now?
He ran a hand through his hair, ready to rip it out at the roots.  Yeah, I want you.
Her smile nearly singed him even though she quickly banked it.  Good. That s [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
