was unsteady, and she realized she was standing on the barred window, frame and all.
His hands closed around her waist. "I've got you."
Blindly reaching out, she grabbed onto Sam's forearms to steady herself. He didn't feel skinny, or flabby,
at all, she thought, surprised when his rock hard muscles flexed under her fingers as she teetered. She tried to picture those muscles beneath one of hisgray suits, and couldn't.
"Good girl," he murmured, as he slid his arms around her waist. "There's just one more thing before we go."
OK God . "What?"
"This."
He'd kissed her twice. Once a few moments ago, when she'd had no idea who the hell he was, and once, in broad daylight, in her office at the clinic. A mind blowing, knocked-her-socks-off, fabulous kiss, and then—he left for a month with no word.Kess had told her to stop mooning over a school teacher and go find cowboy. Or a bronco rider with great hip movement. Or an astronaut whose kisses would take her to the moon. Kess wouldn't wait for a guy to make the first move. But Beth wasn't her sister.
Sam spread his large hand across her lower back, bringing the other up to cup her face. As he brushed his mouth over hers, she eagerly parted her lips. He touched his tongue to hers, andElizabeth 's heart thudded hard as he sucked it into the hot, wet cavern of his mouth. God. This is crazy … She stood on tip-toes to wrap her arms about his neck and draw his body flush against hers. The thin fabric of whatever they were wearing was almost no barrier at all.
His abs pressed hard against her aching breasts, and the ridge of his erection nudged tantalizingly against hermons .Elizabeth 's breath hitched.
Blank. Her mind went completely blank. She couldn't even think as she blocked out everything but Sam, and kissing him the way she'd imagined kissing him for months. A sigh of pure pleasure escaped, as Sam tasted the inside of her cheek, then ran his teeth along the edge of her teeth before sucking on her tongue and making her almost sob with the pleasure of it.
A bird screeched, andElizabeth flinched out of the sensual spell. There were a dozen different kinds of birds perched in the trees surrounding them. There were snakes, and wild pigs, and other animals just waiting to have them for a midnight snack. And here they were—
His warm, wet tongue slid along the length of hers bringingElizabeth to heart-somersaulting attention again. He kissed her with slow, deliberate care. Hot and deep, taking her from zero to sixty between one heartbeat and the next. She tightened her arms around his neck and rose higher on her toes to bring their bodies flush at all the right places. Sam angled her head and kissed her like he'd die if he didn't. Hotter than the kiss he'd planted on her six months ago. Of course after that one he'd hauled ass and disappeared for a month.
Her husband had preferred closed-mouth kisses, if he kissed her at all. The kiss Sam had given her at the clinic had revved her engines and made her want more. A lot more. But that kiss was tame compared to this. That had been banked. This was Sam unleashed.
The stubble on his jaw was rough against her smooth skin, and a surprise. She'd never seen him anything but immaculately smooth shaven. She'd never seen him anything other than controlled. As he made love to her mouth, his hand slipped lower to stroke her behind through the thin material.Elizabeth felt surrounded by him, engulfed in his taste. A shudder of raw desirespiraled through her, bone deep and primitive. His tongue mimicked the sex act, making her throb and ache and pant, and crave the feel of his hands on her naked body.
She went hot all over as he dragged her hips back and forth against the solid ridge of his erection. Her brain short-circuited as his tongue raked across her teeth before plunging inside again.
Somehow she'd known it would be this way. That she would fall, all or nothing. She'd spent months protecting her heart. What a waste of
