mercy or knowing that she affected him on the most basic level that turned her on?
    “Kerry?” His growl demanded she look at him.
    She opened her eyes, taunted him with a come-hither stare—and dropped the bra.
    Her nipples beaded under his sizzling gaze, now unbearably tight. Power, need, fear all swirled together. They played a dangerous game, and still Kerry wanted it, wanted his touch.
    “Come here.”
    Said the spider to the fly . . .
    Refusing to back down, to be afraid, Kerry put one foot in front of the other, keenly aware of the gentle bobbing of her breasts as she stepped to the edge of the bed.
    “Closer,” he whispered, finger crooked. “Where I can kiss you and touch every inch of your skin.”
    Kerry hesitated, then wondered why. She had the upper hand. The key to the handcuffs lay far across the room, his cell phone tucked away in a closet he couldn’t reach. He did, however, have what she needed to gratify the hot ache bubbling inside her.
    Drawing in a shallow breath, she sat on the edge of the bed, near his knee.
    Rafe wrapped heated fingers around her arm, and her heart went into overdrive. Oh, even that touch felt like heaven. Desire coiled deep in her belly, winding even tighter when he caressed her arm up and down, thumb brushing the side swell of her breast.
    “You’re so soft,” he murmured, moving in.
    Closer he came, closer . . . He leaned toward her, his potent gaze focused on her mouth. She tingled with anticipation as she closed her eyes.
    His skin felt as hot as a furnace as their chests met. His breath fanned across her cheek as he whispered, “I can’t wait to devour you.”
    Kerry didn’t think it possible, but her heart beat even more wildly, the coil in the pit of her belly pulled tighter, the need between her legs ached deeper.
    Then he kissed her. Nothing gentle or tentative. Rafe conquered her mouth, not with force but persuasion. His kissseduced her until she yearned to open to him and give him everything he wanted. The soft command of his lips over hers, his tongue luring her into the recklessly building fire between them, was too compelling to resist. He cupped her face and groaned, a sound that reverberated all through her body.
    God, she was lost. Was there anything more decadent than having such a man’s single-minded attention, his rampant desire? If there was, she’d never felt it.
    And he had yet to do more than kiss her.
    Breathing hard, Rafe lay his forehead against hers. “Lie down beside me.”
    His request . . . dangerous. No, no, no, her mind chanted. But who wanted to listen to reason at a time like this? The need he roused in her flared pure fire across her skin. No doubt, he could burn her all the way to the core if she wasn’t cautious.
    But damn it, she’d been cautious her whole life. No one had ever incited this hot, wild feeling in her, made her so aware of herself as a woman. No man, especially not puking Richard of prom party fame, had ever made her ache with his very first touch.
    Yes! her body shouted.
    A few shallow breaths later, Kerry succumbed to curiosity and the broiling flame in her belly and lay on her back, staring at him through slumberous, watchful eyes.
    “You want to know what I’m going to do, don’t you?” The small smile on his face teased her with possibilities.
    Her heart pounded out a frantic rhythm. “Yes.”
    His smile widened as he cupped her breast. His fingers warmed the sensitive skin beneath. Kerry caught her breath, then recovered . . . until he flicked a thumb across her distended nipple. Yes, she’d been touched here, touched herself even. But it was nothing like this.
    Kerry gasped as he repeated the process. Her nipples tightened to hard nubs. She felt her breasts swelling, the pleasure spreading. Then he started on the other. She caught her breath.
    “So sensitive. So sexy,” he whispered against her nipple.
    Rafe caught both the nubs between thumbs and fingers and rolled them in his firm
