Because concern number two was the fact that she’d blatantly ignored his sensitivity to yellow and had dressed like Little Miss Sunshine.
Funny thing was she didn’t particularly care for yellow either, but being told not to wear it had made it infinitely more appealing.
As she stopped in front of him—a little more than an arm’s length away—his heated gaze took a leisurely stroll over her body. He obviously appreciated the package, if not the wrapping, and as he finished his visual perusal he erased all expression from his face and said, “You had to try it, didn’t ya, sweetheart?”
She batted her eyelashes and looked as innocent as she was capable. It wouldn’t have worked with Nate, and she knew it wouldn’t work with him either, but she gave it a go.
“What do you mean?”

A big-bad-wolf smile spread across his face. “Step a little closer and we’ll discuss it.”
The sounds of wrenches and air guns reverberated off the walls of the garage but she was sure he heard her heart pounding, even over all the mechanical noises. “Umm…no thanks. I’m fine right where I am.”
“Bwack, bwack, bwack.”
Bastard . She narrowed her eyes and glared. He knew she’d never back down from such a direct challenge so she took a small step closer. “Happy now?”
“Not exactly.” His gaze roamed freely over her body, as if he owned her and had the right. “You know, I threw the part about not liking yellow in to make sure you were paying attention. We weren’t doing anything heavy enough last night that you would have needed them, but it’s important you know your safewords. I needed to be sure you understood what I was saying. I knew if you were, you’d do exactly this.” His eyes darkened and his smile turned ominous. “You know there’s going to be hell to pay for wearing that shirt and those jeans and being a cocktease.”
Nikki chewed the inside of her cheek and processed Adam’s words. A silly, girly warmth rushed through her, knowing he cared and was concerned for her safety. She was slightly concerned about the future possibility of needing to know her safewords. And it would be foolish to say she wasn’t being a tease. The shirt and jeans were tight, showcased her curves well and she knew how men reacted when she wore them.
But she was only interested in teasing one cock. And based on the tight fit of Adam’s khakis, she was doing a damn fine job. She switched to chewing on her bottom lip and frowned. Why didn’t she get any of that last night?
His soft chuckle startled and shocked her into realizing her gaze was locked onto the fly of his pants. “Problem?” Leaning in close he added, “And remember, you tell me nothing but the truth. The whole truth.”
Shit . She was so not going to tell him the truth. She would never admit to feeling cheated by not getting that bulge last night. But she was addled and couldn’t come up with a believable response quick enough.

A smug smile dripped from his mouth as he uncrossed his arms and legs, slid his fingers into the side belt loops of her jeans and pulled her to him. “You’re taking way too long to answer, which means you’re planning on lying.” His voice was low and menacing. His dark chocolate gaze bore into hers. “Do you know what happens when you lie to me?”
She cursed the tremble starting in her extremities and puddling in her core. She shouldn’t be reacting to his words or his dark expression, but damned if the threatening look and dangerous eyes didn’t make her hot as hell. What deliciously torturous things did he do to those who lied?
How could just thinking about it get her excited?
She couldn’t respond. All she could do was look at him and think about how badly he messed with her head. She didn’t want to call him Sir and give him total control of her body. But a fundamental part of her responded to his words and
