came to my house like a gentleman and met
my parents. Then he took me on a scenic ride before parking next to
a wooded area overlooking the Roanoke River. He kissed me there. I
thought it was the start of something big. But then he told me was
going back to Tennessee the next day.”
    “It crushed you.”
    She whispered, “It was awful. I never saw him
again.”
    “And you still feel the pain?”
    “No. I remember how it felt, but I’m a
different person now. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
    He grinned. “Good. Thank you for trusting me.
And I can make you a promise.”
    “Oh, yeah? What’s that?”
    “I promise we’ll get physical. Seriously
physical.”

    Jaeda didn’t wait for Teague to make the
first move. Cupping his jaw, she leaned her shoulder against his
chest. She tipped her chin and touched her lips to his. At the
contact, her stomach fluttered. What was it about this man that
turned her inside out?
    Urging her to open under the pressure of his
mouth, he slid a hand into the V of her robe. His fingers skimmed
the upper curve of her breast. She inhaled sharply through her
nostrils as a thrill of goose bumps raced down her arms. His
tongue, smooth, soft and minty, tempted hers into a dance that sent
her senses reeling.
    His hand went lower and his thumb grazed her
nipple. A bolt of electric pleasure shot through her abdomen and
caused an explosion of need between her thighs, making her spine
arch. Back and forth, he brushed the hardened crest until her pulse
throbbed within the swelling folds of her crease.
    As she had wanted to since seeing him without
a shirt, she rubbed his chest. Taut skin stretched over hard
muscle. His widely swirling chest hair tickled between her fingers.
She enjoyed the fact that she could touch this sublime man anywhere
she preferred, as if he were hers.
    He released her lips and pressed expert
kisses along her jaw then down her throat. His passion lit her skin
on fire, and suddenly, she couldn’t get out of the robe fast
enough. She hooked fingers on the collar and pulled while he untied
the belt at her waist. Opening it, he stared at her.
    “You’re lovely,” he said so low she had to
strain to hear. He skimmed his hand from between her breasts to her
bellybutton.
    A heavy heat centered deep within her, below
his hand. She hadn’t felt this in such a long time. With relief in
reach, Jaeda enjoyed the caress of his gaze. His eyes raked her
from face to knees and back, as potent as any touch.
    “I love the way you look at me,” she said.
The throbbing between her legs grew stronger.
    “I love the way you look.” Standing, he
unzipped his trousers and undressed in a single move.
    He took her breath away. Though not as
defined or as large as a bodybuilder, he obviously worked out and
played hard. And she wanted him to play hard with her. Right
now.
    She reached for him, but he shook his head.
With an arm behind her knees and the other around her back, he
lifted her from the loveseat. Her arms slid free of the robe and
left it behind as he carried her to the bed.
    “You like carrying me, don’t you?”
    He grinned and lowered her hips to the
exposed sheet. He pressed her against piled pillows while flipping
the thick comforter out of the way. The linens cooled her hot skin.
Teague didn’t give her time to catch a chill, however.
    Kneeling between her ankles, he grasped her
hips and hauled her to him. “Seduction becomes you, gorgeous.
You’re magnificent, with your blushing skin and shining eyes.”
    “Seduction?” She wanted to worry, but he
began stroking her thighs. “Are you seducing me?” Whatever he
called it, she needed him to keep doing it.
    “ You’re seducing me , Jaeda.
You’ve been at it all evening – since the club. But I like it.” He
tipped forward and planted a kiss to the gentle rise of her
belly.
    It occurred to her that she ought to deny it.
Turn it around on him. With his hands learning her body, though,
she couldn’t
