Intimate Secrets (The Love and Danger Series) by Elizabeth Lennox Page B

finally. 
    Amy glanced nervously at Walker and could see his intent in his eyes.  Backing up, she started to shake her head.  “Don’t even try it,” he told her with that quirk on his lips.  “You and I have been thinking about doing this ever since we saw each other this morning.”  And with that, he kissed her. 
    Every memory of their time together disappeared as his mouth covered hers, his lips teased and cajoled until she shuddered with the impact, opening her mouth to deepen the kiss.  He was wrong.  She hadn’t been craving this since this morning.  She’d been craving this for the past twelve months.  Every time she’d close her eyes at night, she’d think of their time together.  Every time she picked up Lilly or saw her sweet smiles, her happy laughter, Amy was reminded of how she was created. 
    But those memories paled in comparison to the reality.  Her arms curled up around his neck while his tongue danced, his body hardened against her and she felt like the world was spinning.  There was no Lilly or hurt and resentment.  There was only this moment, his hands on her body, sliding underneath her pink sweater.  There wasn’t anything other than the intense, mind blowing need that roared to life , and blew up between both of them. 
    She a rched into his hand as he cupped her breast, whimpered when his thumb found her nipple and almost melted into the floor when his mouth moved from hers to her ear and her neck.  She’d always been a sucker when he kissed her neck and today was no exception. 
    The happy scream and clapping caught both of them off guard.  Walker looked up, confused and concerned.  Amy’s mind was still trying to figure out what had just happened.  Then the noise came again and Amy gasped, pulling out of his arms to take several steps away.  Looking at Lilly, she realized that her daughter was perfectly safe and happy, just making her usual noises when she played.  The sofa cushions were still surrounding her and she was gumming her toys but she didn’t like not being the center of attention. 
    And Amy didn’t like losing control! 
    She took several deep breaths, trying to get her mind and body back under control.  This was crazy!  How could they lose control so completely every time they touched? 
    Shaking her head, she walked over and picked up Lilly, using her as a buffer against Walker.  Not that she thought he would touch her again.  But she might just jump him.  Holding Lilly meant her hands weren’t free to do as she so desperately wanted. 
    “Sorry,” Walker grumbled, rubbing his face with his hand.  “That got out of control.”
    Amy smiled weakly and turned away.  Walker watched her snuggle with Lilly and couldn’t believe he was actually jealous of his infant daughter.  But it was true.  He wanted Amy to curl up with him, to kiss his cheek and his neck.  Hell, he’d like her to kiss just about every inch of him. 
    With a heavy sigh, he picked up his keys again.  “Lock the door behind me.  And don’t go out anywhere.  If something comes up and you need to go out, call me.  I’ll come get you.”
    She nodded her head, remembering that less than a half hour ago, he’d caught someone following them.  “I promise, we’re not going out anywhere.”
    “The remote for the television is…”
    “We don’t watch television,” she said, shaking her head.  “It slows down development in the muscles around the eye.  Besides, I don’t want Lilly to rely on television for entertainment.”
    Walker’s respect for her grew exponentially.  “Don’t kids need to watch cartoons on Saturday morning?”
    She laughed and shook her head, feeling better now that she was in her own area of expertise.  “Actually, if you start off not letting them watch television, they don’t even miss it.  I can quickly tell the kids in my class who don’t watch television or play non-stop video games.  Their reading levels are significantly
