but still, he didn’t take it back. “Mine’s chicken Parm, although it’s tough to go wrong with a good, old-fashioned New York strip.”
    “Um.” Kylie took a breath and thought for a second. “I guess mine is spaghetti and meatballs.” Her stomach let out a rumble at the thought, and wasn’t that just embarrassing, considering her midsection was less than a foot from Devon’s ear right now.
    “That’s a good one,” he said. “S’pose you’d have a nice bottle of red with that, huh?”
    “Maybe.” Her muscles let go a little against her seat, and she leaned into the heat of Devon’s palm, still firm and strong and sweet against her cheek. “Yeah. Pinot noir. Or, no, Chianti. That would be perfect.”
    “So here’s what I want you to do. Every time you get scared, I want you to close your eyes.” He paused long enough for her to let her eyes flutter shut for a trial run, but then his words continued, low and hypnotic. “Good. Like that. Then I want you to picture that dinner.”
    Kylie’s laugh was as soft as it was involuntary. “Really?”
    “Yes, really,” Devon said, his smile hanging just slightly in his voice. “Red and white tablecloth, garlic bread, the whole nine. You got it?”
    She nodded, her shoulders going lax. “Yes.”
    “Okay. Now every time you get scared, or you think something bad might happen, I want you to grab onto this picture in your head. Because once we get you safe, you’re going to have that dinner.”
    “Do you promise?”
    Somewhere, in the logical part of her brain, Kylie knew Devon couldn’t promise she’d be okay any more than he could promise her the moon on a pie plate. But between the quick, calculating actions he’d taken to get her away from Fagan and the slow, soothing circles his thumb was tracing over her jaw, she couldn’t deny the truth.
    If Devon said yes, she’d believe him.
    “Yes. I promise, Kylie.”
    Something about the way he said her name made her open her eyes, recognizing all at once how his body pressed against hers, his chest to her chest, his mouth not even an inch away. Heat roared through Kylie’s belly, quickly turning to slick wetness in her panties, and even though it was insane, she lifted her chin to close the space between them. Devon exhaled against her mouth, but whether it was shock or something deeper, Kylie couldn’t be sure. Want like she’d never, ever felt flared to life in her blood, driving her to search, to take.
    And she did.
    Kylie reached out, wrapping her arms around the muscle-covered expanse of Devon’s shoulders. The leather from his jacket created just enough friction on her bare forearms to turn her want into a demand, and she didn’t hold back. Devon’s fingers flexed at the hinge of her jaw, his mouth resting on hers with just the barest brush of contact before he pressed against her harder with a groan.
    Oh God. Yes. Yes . Kylie swept her tongue over the seam of his lips in a bid for more, and all at once, he gave it. His mouth parted, but not to let her in. No, Devon’s lips slanted over hers with the clear intent to take, and he kissed her hard, desperate. Wild heat built between her legs, her pussy clenching with need beneath the damp satin of her panties. Digging her fingers into his hard, leather-clad shoulders, Kylie matched the intensity of the kiss, even as it grew along with her want. She moaned, parting her mouth, her thighs, her everything so Devon could kiss her, touch her, take her more fully.
    But then she realized he’d stopped kissing her back.
    Devon grated out a low curse, pushing himself back to the driver’s seat in one fluid motion. “Kylie. We can’t…I need to keep you safe.”
    She blinked, her cheeks burning even though the rest of her chilled from the sudden non-contact of their bodies. “Oh! I, uh. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to—”
    “No. This is on me. Adrenaline can do crazy things. You’re not used to that, but I should’ve known better. It’s my job
