Excerpt:
Aiden dropped his hands to her
hips and stepped closer. “Will you stay tonight?” he asked softly.
“I’ll stay.”
One night. He could do that,
couldn’t he? Then he could get this need for her out of his system and focus on
winning the tournament to free her from any danger. His job would be done, his
debt paid to Jax, and he could move back home to continue his daily penance and
meaningless existence.
But right now he wanted to feel
alive again, if only for a night in the arms of the woman who’d had his balls
on lockdown for months. She was the reason no one else even appealed to him
anymore. He needed her, just this once. But he wouldn’t do it without an
understanding between them.
“Kat, can I be honest with you?”
Aiden was aware of the fine line he was walking. Now he just had to do it
without sounding crude or disrespectful, which would be a challenge. He was no
smooth-talking Romeo.
Meeting her expectant gaze, he
took a deep breath and prepared himself for the possibility of getting slapped.
“I wanna be with you tonight.”
“As in, with me with me?”
“Yeah,” he said, amusement
lifting a corner of his mouth. “With you with you. It’s been a really long time
since I wanted someone as much I want you.”
“Really?” she asked breathlessly.
“You sound surprised.”
She offered a weak shrug and
suddenly found interest in the floorboards. “You seem like you’d be more into
exciting, exotic looking women. Like one of those sexy, new-age pin-up girls
with the flawless skin and beautiful tattoos.”
He almost laughed until he
realized she was serious. She had no idea what she did to him. Grabbing one of
her hands still resting on his shoulder, he slowly dragged it over his chest
and down his stomach until they finally reached his stiff erection straining
against the restrictive boxer briefs under his shorts.
Aiden groaned as he molded her
hand over his cock. The feel of her gripping him nearly redefined the word
“premature.” She drew in a quick breath and raised her eyes to his. Her cheeks
filling with a pretty shade of pink did crazy things to his insides. The more
her innocence showed through the more he wanted her.
He couldn’t make sense of it. She
was right. Typically he went for the larger-than-life women who treated every
day like it was their own personal thrill ride. Kat was something else
entirely. Worldly beyond her years, yet somehow more innocent than she should
be.
“This is how into you I am,
sweetheart. Believe me when I tell you I couldn’t fake this kind of interest,”
he assured her. “I want you, Kat. Wicked bad. But I don’t have anything more to
offer you than one night. That’s me being honest. So if you wanna give me the red
light now I’ll understand, but you gotta let me know while I still have use of
some of my brain.”
“Green.”
