his lips towards hers. The moment stretched and lengthened. She felt an unspoken question in his unhurried pace. Are you sure? She tried to signal back with her eyes. I’m positive. And then his lips met hers and her eyes slid closed. A bright blue flare of good and right and everything-she’d-ever-wanted exploded in her brain, but she allowed it to pass without contemplation. She was more interested in how her body was responding. Her nipples instantly hardened and she could feel every press and friction-full slide they made under her shirt and against his chest. Her lower belly flooded with heat and pulsed hotly. Sweet tingles ran up and down her spine. She heard herself making faint noises of longing in the back of her throat. His lips were exactly the right combination of soft and firm, with his stubble rasping deliciously on her skin. She opened her lips, inviting him in with a quick dart of her tongue into his mouth. He responded quickly, his own tongue meeting hers. Her nose filled with his clean scent. His mouth tasted like beer. She curled her fingers in his hair and lost herself completely in the moment, losing touch with the music, the bar, the fact that a world existed outside of West and Katerina. Katerina and West.
    The kiss went on for what seemed like an eternity. They'd stopped dancing. They were standing stock still on the dance floor, with couples swirling around them. He brought a hand up into her hair and plunged it in, seeming to delight in the sensation. Katerina found her breath coming heavier, and she felt like she couldn't get enough. Hesitantly at first, she ground her center against him, thrilled beyond belief when she felt a thick length behind his zipper.
    She never remembered being this turned on by anyone in her entire life. Not even in high school when the hormones flowed like water. She was thrilled that he wanted her too.
    Finally, he broke the kiss and stared deep into her eyes. "Want to get out of here? Maybe get a cup of coffee? Or take a walk?"
    Katerina took a moment to catch her breath. She did want to get out of here. But she didn't want to take a walk. She wanted to take this man someplace private and have her way with him. A small part of her mind clambered at this information. That wasn't who she was. That wasn't what she did. And besides, she didn't even know him. And he was someone that she could date. Someone that she could build a relationship with. Did she want to take the chance of ruining that with one night of sex? Hot as it probably would be?
    Another part of her spoke up. Why would a night of sex ruin anything? He didn't seem like a player. There was no guarantee he would call her if she didn't take him home. And there was no guarantee he wouldn't call her if she did.
    And it was unlikely he was some sort of rapist or murderer. Who would try to pick up victims at a cop bar? He was probably a cop, anyway. Not that cops were always 100% law-abiding, but she had always had an incredible intuition about people. She had always known, even when she was a little girl, whether someone was a good person or not. It was a gift she had. All she got from this guy was goodness.
    Katerina opened her mouth, not sure what she was going to say. "Why don't we go to your place?"
    Something flashed in his eyes and at first she couldn't identify it, but as he pulled back slightly and searched for words, she knew what it was. It was rejection. He didn't want to take her to his place. Crushing disappointment and embarrassment flooded her. She dropped her eyes and all at once the horrible events of the day crashed in on her, heavier than ever. Hot tears prickled behind her eyes.
    She pulled away from him. "Never mind, it was a stupid idea. I've got to get out of here anyway, I have to, ah, work in the morning."
    Katerina stepped through the crowd, looking desperately for Jordan. If she had to, she would walk home but hopefully she didn't have to. She could hear West yelling behind her. She
