breath.
A deep, delicious chuckle filled the air and I couldn’t keep from shivering—the sound seemed to caress down my spine, stroking every vertebra. Big, strong hands grasped my waist and pulled me against him as he stood. Slowly, I lifted my head, hoping that he might kiss me before he left. His fingers tightened at my waist and he brushed his warm lips over the tip of my nose. “I’ll go so that temptation is out of reach, baby. Can I have one last taste of those damn soft lips before I go, though?”
I couldn’t have spoken if my life depended on it. I gave him one small nod and he groaned as his head lowered. If I’d thought that our first kiss last night had been mind blowing, it was nothing compared to the kiss he gave me then. My mind went completely blank to anything and everything except for the feel and taste of his lips on mine.
My fingers curled into the shirt he was wearing under his cut, holding onto him almost desperately. If I let go I might fall...or attack him for more. His tongue brushed over my lips and I willingly parted them for him. Teasingly he thrust the tip of his tongue into my mouth, causing me to tremble. The next stroke went deeper, tangling with my own tongue as he kissed all common sense from me.
If the kiss had lasted an hour, a day, a year it would have been too short. When he lifted his head after only a few seconds I whimpered in protest. My lips felt swollen and they pulsed with a need for more of his kiss. Hawk sucked in a deep breath, his fingers biting deeper into the flesh at my waist as he held me closer against his hard body.
“Your kisses are dangerous, baby. Worse than Irish whisky; it goes straight to my head and makes me want to do crazy things.” His breath caressed my cheek as his lips stroked across it, to my jaw and then down. When his hot, damp lips connected with the sensitive skin of my neck I cried out in pleasure. “And those sounds you make… Ah, damn baby. I can’t help but wonder what sounds you’ll make when I’m inside of you.”
“Hawk,” I whimpered and buried my face in his chest. Images of him between my legs, making love to me filled my head. I wanted that, wanted it so bad. But I didn’t know if I was ready for us to go there yet.
The office door suddenly opened and Hawk’s grip on me tightened almost painfully for a moment. When I heard Jack’s laugh all the sexual tension I’d been feeling evaporated quickly. “Wondered how long it would take before you came checking on the girl.”
“Thought I would bring her some lunch.” Hawk kissed the top of my head and with a reluctant sigh stepped back. “I’m going to head over to the bar and do some work. Make sure Harley stays out of the fucking office when she’s here.”
I turned around to face Jack as Hawk spoke and saw the way the older man stiffened. “What’s he done?”
“Sniffing around where he’ll get his face busted in if he isn’t careful,” Hawk practically growled. “If you want him in prime working order, make sure he stays away from her.”
“Hawk,” I said, not liking that he was making threats, however veiled they might be, “stop it. Harley hasn’t done anything for you to get all snarly over.” The man had just made me feel uncomfortable, surely that wasn’t enough reason to hurt him.
His eyes had darkened to a deep hunter green again when he turned his gaze on me. “I’ll speak with Trigger. He’ll keep an eye open for you.”
“Hawk…” I started to protest but he pressed another kiss to my forehead and stepped away.
“See you tonight, baby. Later, Uncle Jack.”
I stood there, angry that he’d ignored everything I’d just said. If he acted like that now, how would it be if things went further with us? Tears filled my eyes and I quickly turned away before Jack noticed. What if he actually did hurt someone over me? After growing up in a house where a man became violent over no good reason, I didn’t know if I could deal with
