just experienced
how fleeting life could be out here, it didn’t matter.
They were alone in the room with more privacy than she’d find
pretty much anywhere else on base, and he wasn’t going to waste the opportunity.
His back was to the door, his body blocking anyone’s view of her if someone
cared to look through the small square window. He could make her feel even safer
from prying eyes though, if that was the push she needed.
Reaching behind him, he found the deadbolt beneath the handle
and turned it, locking them in and everyone else out. As the bolt snicked into
place, Candace swallowed, the undulation of her throat betraying her
nervousness. Palpable tension crackled in the air between them. But she didn’t
protest. Only an invisible wall separated them now. Once either of them breached
it, there was no going back. Every cell in his body screamed at him to blow
right through it, and to hell with the consequences. He knew what he wanted was
forbidden, but he would protect her and her reputation.
Moving slowly so he wouldn’t startle her, Ryan gently took her
other wrist and slid his hands up her arms. When she stood her ground and lifted
her eyes to his, he saw the first stirrings of indecision in them. Tenderness
and need flooded him.
Baby , stop thinking so much .
Without giving her time to pull away, he cupped her face
between his hands and bent his head. Carefully, so carefully, he covered her
lips with his.
Candace drew in a sharp breath and grabbed his shoulders,
stiffening. He felt the hesitation, the coiled tension in her body. But she
didn’t pull away or stop him from sipping at her mouth. Instead, her eyes
fluttered closed and then he felt the tremulous movement of her lips beneath his
as she softened. Ryan almost growled in triumph. He tightened his hold and
teased her mouth with his, seducing her with soft nibbles and the tender graze
of his tongue along the seam of her lips. Gentle. Coaxing. In response she
curled her fingers into his shoulders and leaned up for more, parting her lips
slightly.
Swallowing a groan, Ryan touched the tip of her tongue with his
then withdrew to lick at her lower lip, and she answered by lifting into the
kiss and searching out his tongue. God, she tasted good, like peppermint tea.
She caressed him almost shyly with her tongue, and her tentative response was so
goddamn hot that for a moment he thought he’d lose his mind. Her full breasts
weren’t even pressing against him and his erection strained against the fly of
his pants, pounding like it had its own heartbeat. Her exquisite acquiescence
made the sexually aggressive, dominant part of him roar and snap against the
chains holding it prisoner.
She made a soft noise in the back of her throat, and a wave of
heat rolled through him. All he could think about was how delicious she felt
yielding in his arms, even in this small way. She was so controlled and rigid
all the time that it made him want to savor the kiss and the knowledge of what
it was: a victory. But that victory came with a price.
Partly due to the aftereffects of the adrenaline rush from
earlier and partly because he was living out a piece of his fantasy, he was so
hard he hurt with the need for relief. More than anything he wanted to get her
naked and stretch out on top of her while he pinned her to a bed, loosening her
resistance inch by inch until she came all the way undone. He wanted to watch
that glow of arousal fill her eyes until they were hazy with desire as he made
her body surrender to the sensual need he could feel burning inside her.
Oh, hell yeah, that’s what he wanted from her. Total surrender.
Man, he could picture the heavy-lidded expression on her face as he took her,
could imagine the way her fingers would dig into his shoulders and the husky
cries she’d make when she came for him.

him. At the feel of her breasts cushioned against his chest, his brain
