I pull away and stare down at her. Her lips are bruised, red and swollen. Her gemstone eyes open and the green is so dark, her pupils so dilated. Triumph roars up in me. She definitely wants me.
God, do I want her. I know what her lips taste like now. But I’m aching to know what she feels like. What her velvety heat feels like. What her juices taste like exploding on my tongue. My heart races and I know she can feel my erection under her fingers which are wedged between us on my thighs.
A knock at the window makes me jolt up and I turn to face the officer standing outside, rolling down the window.
“Are you two alright? You need a tow truck?” He eyes us suspiciously.
“No, officer. She just needed a minute to settle her stomach. You know how pregnancy can really affect a woman.” I shoot him a man to man look and he smirks back at me.
“Gotcha. Well, move it along now. Don’t want anyone to get hurt. Congratulations.” He tips his hat at Kat and her mouth clicks shut from where it was hanging open a minute ago.
“Thank you. We’ll be heading home to celebrate.”
I pull out into traffic and try to avoid looking over at Kat because I can practically feel the steam rolling off of her.
“It was the easiest way to get out of trouble,” I rumble, finally daring to look at her and then wishing I hadn’t.
Her emerald eyes are glaring at me and if I hazard a guess, I’d bet she’s figuring out which part of me she can cut off.
“I don’t appreciate the smarmy insinuations and looks, thank you very much,” she finally huffs, flouncing down in the seat and crossing her arms, staring out the front window. “I felt like a fucking brood mare,” she growls.
“The most beautiful, sexy one I’ve ever seen.” I grin at her.
“Not helping,” she grinds out between clenched teeth.
“You haven’t answered me yet. Are you willing to go forward with this deal?”
I hold my breath, hoping that I didn’t kill it with my previous actions.
“Yeah.” She sighs loudly and sinks lower in the seat. “Let’s do this. There’s nothing for me back there anyway,” she whispers.
But I hear her and it almost breaks my heart. Almost makes me change my mind. If she finds out that I used her for anything other than what was stated, she might run away or even worse, hate my damn guts for eternity.
I just can’t find it in myself to change my mind. I can’t tell her the truth because I can’t risk her leaving. Because if she did…I’m not sure I’d want to find another woman.
I want this one. Kat and only Kat will do.
