“Sawyer, what the hell are you doing?
She put her hands down to stop him but drew up short when she caught the fire in his eyes.
“Not a damn word, Reggie,” he said through gritted teeth.
Her mouth fell open when he spun her around. She met the determined gazes of Cam and Hutch, who stood, legs apart, arms crossed.
Sawyer yanked her jeans down then straightened and pulled her shirt over her head. Her pants around her ankles, she sat on the edge of the bed with a thump when he pushed her shoulders.
Cam knelt and took her shoes off then pulled her pants the rest of the way off. Sawyer sat down beside her and nudged her shoulder until she turned, baring her back to him. He fumbled with the clasp of her bra, and suddenly it came loose.
Her arms crept over her chest in a protective gesture when the strap of her bra tumbled down her shoulders. For the moment, she was left to sit in just her panties.
Sawyer stood and started stripping off his clothing. Regina swallowed, and her eyes widened.
“Sawyer, what are youdoing?”
He paused a mere second before pinning her with glittering eyes, and then he resumed the shucking of his clothes. She glanced nervously down at Cam and then over at Hutch, but neither offered a single word.
When Sawyer was down to his boxers, he held out a hand to her. She eyed him in confusion, not at all understanding what the hell was going on. Surely they weren’t . . . notnow.
With an impatient sigh, Sawyer snagged her hand and pulled her to stand in front of him. Before she could speak or react, he turned her in the direction of the bathroom and planted a firm hand in the middle of her back.
She lurched forward, and he grabbed her arm with his other hand to steady her. He flipped on the lights in the bathroom as they entered. Her bare feet met the cool tile, and she halted to stare at her nearly naked body in the mirror.
The eyes that stared back at her weren’t hers. Hers weren’t so haunted, her face not so drawn.
Sawyer reached in to turn the shower on. When he turned back to her, he slid his boxers off, giving her an unabashed view of his cock. She averted her eyes as heat singed her cheeks. But she was compelled to look back.
It wasn’t the first time or even the second she’d seen him nude, but the sight never ceased to affect her. He had a beautiful body. All hard muscles and smooth planes.
Light hair dotted the upper portion of his chest then tapered into a thin line that led to his navel and below to the dark thatch at his groin.
His cock was semi-erect, and this time she couldn’t look away. She remembered all too well how he’d tasted, how he’d felt sliding over her tongue, between her lips. She closed her eyes to banish the images of that night.
“Ditch the underwear, Reggie.”
Her eyes flew open again.
“You and I have a date with the shower.”
Hesitantly, she hooked her thumbs into the thin band of her panties and began inching them down. They fell to the floor at her feet, and Sawyer again held out his hand to her.
Her legs trembled as she tucked her fingers into his. He pulled her into the shower after him and positioned her under the spray.
She closed her eyes as water coursed over her face. When she opened them again, Sawyer was staring fiercely at her, his eyes glittering like ice chips.
He framed her face in his hands, his thumbs resting on her cheekbones. Then he backed her against the wall of the shower as his lips descended to hers.
His body pressed in against hers, covering her and molding her softness to his hard contours. He didn’t simply kiss her. He devoured her. Hot and hungry, with a restless, desperate need that left her aching.
His hands shook against her face. He moved from her lips to her eyes, pressing light kisses against her lids and then her cheeks and to her ears. Then he stopped and buried his face in her neck.
His cock, swollen and hard, butted against her belly. Burning. His heat, combined with that of the water, singed her skin like a firestorm.
“I almost lost you,” he whispered so low she almost didn’t hear over the water.
No longer willing to play a passive role, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders then slid one hand up the column of his neck to cup the back of his head.
