nothing quick about it.”
    He mashed his mouth against mine and robbed me of any hope for breath. Delving his tongue inside, he took deep drafts, like he was drinking me down. This was too good and nothing could have pried me away from him in that moment. Every inch of my skin was buzzing, begging to be touched.
    I dug my fingers into his hair the way I had ima gined. It was soft and thick. Scratching his scalp, I returned his kiss. I wasn’t exactly sure what I was doing, but it didn’t seem to matter. It felt right. And Adam wasn’t complaining. His palm landed heavy on my ass and he lifted my thigh to his hip. My skirt rode up and I felt his erection press against my core. Instinct took over.
    I sucked his tongue.
    He groaned.
    I bit his lip.
    He growled.
    He pressed me further against the wall. “I knew you’d be like this,” he said between laps at my mouth. “I haven’t stopped thinking about you since I saw you on the street.”
    He trailed his free hand up my inner thigh, pausing to gently snap the laces of my garter. He looked down, our breaths mingling.
    “ Sexy,” he whispered.
    For the briefest moment that his mouth wasn ’t on me, clarity pierced my brain. I was in the dim hallway of a restaurant, and Adam was against me. The cloud lifted and I fully realized that he was touching me. And I had allowed it.
    I was already losing my sense of self-preservation.
    “ I—I can’t do this.”
    He frowned when I lowered my foot back to the floor and began adjusting my skirt.
    “You say that a lot. It’s a terrible word.”
    “ What word do you prefer, then?”
    He backed away, running both hands through his hair. No one would ever know I had gripped him there. His composure was back in place and I instantly felt a loss. Cold crept over my body as he eyed me. A few feet away, after what had just happened, seemed like miles.
    “ Do you have any idea what you do?” His voice was laced with heat and malice.
    “ Other than almost walking into cars?”
    “ You command a presence.”
    “ Says the CEO of all that’s rich and powerful.”
    “ That mouth…” He looked like he was about to throttle me, in a wicked way that had my heart jumping and my already aching clit throbbing harder.
    “ You give off this essence. Like you need a man. Like whoever gets to possess you will reap the benefits of your entire body.”
    “ And you think I radiate this?”
    He stepped clos er to me. His jaw flexed as though he was gritting his teeth. “I can fucking smell it.”
    I licked my bot tom lip and tasted him. If I didn’t get out of there now, I’d give in to anything he wanted.

Chapter Four
     
    “Well, that’s the sourest face I think I’ve ever seen on you,” Megan said when I walked through the front door. “I take it the date didn’t go well.”
    I shrugged out of my coat. “It wasn’t a date. It was a proposition. Thanks for throwing me to the wolves, by the way.”
    “ Wolves? Wasn’t there just one wolf? One hot, sexy wolf?”
    But a wolf all the same. “Is Brian here? He looked about ready to punch Adam in the face.”
    “ Brian will get over it. You know how boys get when their schedules get changed.”
    No, I didn ’t. Because Brian generally didn’t care about much beyond his motorcycle shop.
    “ So what did the big, bad Mr. Kinkade proposition you for? The man already owns most of Chicago.”
    Don ’t remind me. “He wanted a hook-up.”
    “ What!” Megan was on her feet. “And?”
    “ I asked him to bring me home.”
    She frowned. “Is that all?” She shook her head. “I didn’t mean it like that. I just…I saw how he looked at you, and how you looked at him.”
    “ What? How did I look at him?”
    “ Kate, you just perked up. It was like you were calm and excited at the same time.”
    Lots of words have been used to describe me. Excited was a rarity, but calm was never used. Maybe the effect Adam had on me was more apparent than I realized.
    “ Do you like him?”
