A pink blush colors her face and chest.Her pulse pounds against the satiny skin of her throat.Her breath rises and falls, the worn sleeveless T-shirt doing little to cover the perfect breasts underneath.

“Emma.”It’s not a question.

But she gives me an almost imperceptible nod.

It’s on.

CHAPTER 33

Emma

Finn takes a step toward me, a huge man with eyes as dark as storm clouds and alive with flashes of lightning.He’s breathing hard.

I don’t know exactly where I’m standing.The barn is an unfamiliar place.What’s behind me?How far away is the opposite row of stalls?

It would be perfectly normal for me to be terrified right now.I’m not.

I trust Finn MacLaine.That flashing storm I see in his eyes isn’t anger—it’s lust—the same level of lust that’s been shooting through my body for days.And it doesn’t matter what’s behind me, because I know he’ll catch me if I stumble.

I don’t have to run away from this.I want it.All of it.All of him.

I don’t have to run from this man.

So I run to him instead.

I jump and he catches me.I throw my legs around his waist and curl my arms around his neck.Immediately, one of his hands cups my ass and the other slides up into my hair.His giant palm cradles the back of my head, and he presses my face toward his.

I keep my eyes wide open.

I see one last flash in his gaze before his mouth takes mine.

Ohhhhh…

Hot.Slick.Delicious.I hear him moan.I feel him adjust my weight, turn, and take me somewhere.I don’t care where.His lips are all over me, and his tongue is asking a lot of questions—is this all right?Can I do this?Is this too much?

And I’m doing my best to give him the answers he needs—yes, yes, and never.

I don’t know what’s happening.Finn is either spinning me around or gravity no longer applies to me because I feel like I’m flying.

Yet at the same time, he’s got me.I’m safe.I never thought I could feel so safe in the arms of such a dangerously sexy man, but here I am.

Are first kissessupposedto feel this way?How would I know?I’ve never had a first kiss like this in my life.

Or a second kiss or any kiss.

I had no idea a kiss could burn me alive like this.

His lips slide along mine, taking more, giving more.I open my mouth to him just as I hear a bang in front of me and realize that Finn has just kicked open a door.I don’t look.It doesn’t matter where he’s taking me as long as I’m still in his arms and he’s still kissing me.

I hear a second bang, this time behind me, which means the door is closed.Wherever we are now, it’s a room with a door.

A rush of lava-hot awareness shoots directly from his lips and into my panties.

I refuse to think about it.Just for this one moment, he’s not my boss.

He’s just the hottest man on the planet and I’m all his, to do with what he wants.

And I know exactly what he wants.
