Zack (Armed and Dangerous Book 1) by Cheyenne McCray Page B

rocking chair.
    He carefully moved her with him onto the couch so that she was sitting on his lap. She winced as pain shot through her ankle when he arranged her foot on the couch and he frowned. “You okay?”
    She nodded and he brought her tighter into his embrace and held her close. She sank against him and let out a shuddering sigh. He felt so good. So, so good with his hard muscled body cradling her softer form. And the scent of him. Warm, masculine, spicy.
    Despite the fact that she planned to keep an emotional distance, she wanted him. Wanted more than his arms around her—she wanted him inside her, too. Rocking in and out in a steady rhythm as he took away every bit of the pain of their loss and replaced it with the love she knew they could never have again.
     

Chapter 12
    For a long moment Sky’s breath caught as Zack’s gaze held hers. His gray eyes seemed to drink her and his expression was hungry.
    He brushed her hair away from her cheek with his thumb and the gentle touch sent a shiver through her. Slowly he skimmed his fingers along her jaw, down the curve of her neck, continuing on until his palm rested above her breast, right over her pounding heart.
    Sky barely noticed his bruises as her gaze moved to his firm lips. She could almost feel the imprint his mouth had made on hers twice since he’d come into the barn and back into her life.
    She breathed in his scent that was an aphrodisiac to her senses. At that moment she could practically taste him on her tongue, feel his hard body against hers as he took her and his cock thrust deep inside her core.
    Zack’s lips were inches from hers, but he didn’t move closer. He just studied her as if looking for answers she couldn’t give.
    Right now she’d give him anything. Anything but her heart.
    God, she had to have him if only for now.
    Sky raised her free hand and fire flashed in Zack’s eyes as she drew him to her. Tingles spread through her belly and she gave a low moan that was like a soft purr as their lips met.
    He groaned as he held her close and she sank farther into him as they tasted one another. It was so incredible being with him and all that he was. Spice and man and everything erotic and dangerous. He felt so good.
    Need built up inside her like an oncoming storm. Her nipples tightened beneath her T-shirt as he moved his lips from hers and kissed her forehead, then nuzzled her hair. He started to draw back, but she kept him close by tightening her grip. His eyes turned slate gray as he studied her with hunger and need as obvious as her own.
    She didn’t know how she had endured ten years without feeling his length and thickness driving in and out of her. At this moment Friday night seemed so long ago and she couldn’t have him fast enough again.
    It was clear that he was ready and willing—she didn’t even need his large erection pressing against her ass to tell her that. His expression was definitely perilous to her libido, and he gave a low growl that sounded primal and filled with need that matched hers.
    Thoughts of him taking her again made her clench her thighs together as ripples of desire traveled from her belly to her now-damp folds.
    Zack gave a throaty groan as he looked at her. “Controlling myself with you—damn, Sky. I want to be inside you. Now.”
    Sky moved her mouth closer to his. “Yes,” she said before she kissed him again. It was a demand she was more than happy to fulfill.
    The instant Zack’s lips touched Sky’s, his hunger grew, so deep and fierce he knew he’d never be satisfied.
    All he wanted was to bury himself in her as he covered her soft body with his and possessed her in every way possible.
    While clenching his hair in her fists, Sky ran her tongue over his lips. That sweet, sexy tongue that always drove him wild was now about to make him insane.
    Soft moans came from her throat as she nipped at his bottom lip. He groaned and her tongue darted into his mouth.
    Oh yeah, he had to taste her. Had to
