Her sharp intake of breath made his pulse race in triple time.
Her scent filled his nostrils.The satiny-smooth skin on her fingers made the ends of his hair want to curl.God, she was intoxicating.
He waited for her lips to meet his.Instead, she slowly pulled away.
No.He’d missed his chance.He’d fucked up.Scared her.
She got to her feet, and he opened his mouth to fix what he’d done, but no words came out.
She sauntered to the sliding glass door.Stopping, she turned to glance over her shoulder, and his blood pressure dropped at the sheer erotic beauty of her.
“Coming?”
Without waiting for his reply, she opened the door and entered the house.
His stomach muscles bunched with anticipation.His dick turned solid, twitching with need, demanding he get up and pound into Dez’s wet slit.All rationale left his mind.He didn’t care about the lipstick message on the counter that had stung him for days.Didn’t care that she might never want to see him again come tomorrow morning, or that his boss had basically told him to keep his hands off her.All that mattered was the here and now.Giving in to temptation.If she walked away this time, he’d make damn sure she never forgot him.
He got to his feet and followed her inside, closing the door behind him.
CHAPTER 10
Holy mother ofgod.
She’d just come on to Aiden.
Strong.
There was no way she was walking away from this decision now.And they’d agreed to sex being off the table.Dez muffled a snort.So much for that.
Her nipples ached with excitement as she entered the bedroom.Surveying the room only brought back more memories of the other night.The chair in the corner, the TV on the wall, the navy-blue tones.She knotted her hands in front of her waist.Was he even going to come?Had she scared him?
She’d been hot and cold with him since Sunday.He probably thought she was completely off her rocker.It’s not as if she could blame him.One minute she didn’t want things to continue and the next she was dropping her panties.She bit the tip of her thumb.
He hadn’t come back inside yet.Was he still sitting on the patio?
She’d just royally embarrassed herself.He hadn’t even touched her outside.Just sat like a statue in physical agony while she hurled herself—

The sliding glass door shut.Her heart stopped.Great.Now she was a freaking mess of nerves.There was no way she could keep playing the sexy, cool woman who’d just made her desires clear.Oh no.Now he was going to meet frazzled Desiree.The one who could spin circles around herself for hours.
If she wanted to make him run for the hills, she just might be successful.
She heard his footsteps coming down the hall.Not too fast, not too slow, but definitely with purpose.Like he was going to mount her, make her scream his name, and own her.
Okay, so nothing sounded better than that.
The lips between her legs grew wet.
Aiden stepped into the bedroom.His shoulders filled the doorframe.The T-shirt he wore hugged every inch of his upper body yet didn’t cling to his tapered waistline.His mouth worked into a grin, and he closed the door behind him.
He approached her with his smooth, unwavering gait then stopped inches from her body.Her chest rose and fell on broken breaths.His hand swooped up to catch the column of her neck, his fingers cradling her scalp.
She relaxed into his hold, bringing her hand to circle his wrist.
“You sure you want this, babe?’Cause you look a little scared.”He frowned, and her insides shook.
She dragged her teeth over her bottom lip and nodded.“Yes,” she whispered.
