water.
    “Thanks,” he said. “Did it all myself.”
    She let out a low whistle. “It’s great work. Do you cook?”
    He looked to the side and seemed a little embarrassed. “I do. How about you?”
    Jessica laughed. “Not unless you count boxed mac and cheese.”
    Kace wrinkled his nose. “How about you let me make dinner sometime?”
    Her heart jumped in her chest.
    “I’d like that.” She smiled.
    She stared at him for a moment across the island. Something about him pulled her, and despite the situation, she felt herself drawn to him.
    Kace cleared his throat as she continued to stare.
    “How about some popcorn and a movie?” he asked and then glanced at the clock on the wall. “Unless you’d like to just go to bed.”
    Jessica yawned. “I think a movie would be a good way to wind down.”
    “Great,” he said. “Make yourself at home, and I’ll get the popcorn.”
    Jessica glanced into the living room and spotted the bathroom down the hall. Right now, all she could think was to get out of her heels and slip on something more comfortable.
     
    Kace nearly choked on his drink when he came in the room. She was curled up on the couch. She had changed to a slinky red shorts and tank combo.
    He grabbed a blanket from the closet and tossed it to her.
    “In case you get cold,” he said and cursed himself.
    He wanted her to cover up, but only because it was driving him crazy. Not because he didn’t want to look.
    After placing the popcorn between them, Kace sat on the other side of the couch.
    “Have any preference what we watch?”
    Jessica shook her head and nibbled quietly on the popcorn. When he picked an action movie, she moved the popcorn to the table and moved to his side. Surprised, he lifted his arm, and she snuggled into his side.
    “I just,” she sighed in to his arm. “Just hold me.”
    Slowly, he relaxed with her in his arms and enjoyed the feel of her curves next to him.
    She twisted and rested her cheek on his chest. Kace looked down. She was staring up at him.
    “You think they’ll come back?” she said quietly.
    “They will,” he said. She sat up slightly to look at him. “The Russians mean business.”
    She shivered. He pulled her closer.
    “Have you thought about doing something else?” he asked.
    Jessica gave a sad smile and shook her head. “What else would I do? I didn’t go to college, and I’ve got Victoria’s school to pay for. Finn pays me well. More than I could make anywhere else.”
    Kace frowned. “He’s trouble.”
    Jessica laughed.
    “If you hadn’t noticed, you’re trouble too,” she said and laughed harder when he frowned.
    “I’m not trouble,” he said and turned away.
    Her small hand cupped his cheek and turned his head back to look at her.
    “Oh you are absolutely trouble,” she said. Her finger brushed his lower lip, and she focused on his mouth.
    “I thought you were tired,” he said.
    She shrugged, and he felt his body come to life.
    “I think you’re the one that’s trouble,” he growled and pulled her to him.
    When their mouths met, he took her in a powerful kiss.
    He groaned when she moved her body and straddled his legs. His hand skimmed up the back of her legs and cupped her ass. The satin fabric skated easily over her skin as he kneaded the flesh under his palms.
    Jessica pulled back from the kiss and groaned his name. Eagerly, he moved his mouth to her ear and along her neck. He sucked and licked along her soft skin.
    He jumped when she settled her warm heat over his aching cock and rocked against him.
    His hands moved to her hips to still her movement. He chuckled when she huffed her irritation. Kace moved his lips to her ear.
    “I’m not going to last if you do that,” he said. “I’ve been dreaming about this for far too long.”
    Kace lifted her off and stood abruptly. He switched the TV off and went through the room turning off lights, leaving only a small wall lamp on.
    “What are you doing?” Jessica asked.
