Impossible.“I won’t have that without you.”

A shudder worked along his body.“You need to be sure.When you learn about all the dark spots inside of me or when you get tired of being with someone who committed so many sins in the past…you’ll want to get away.”

She was right in front of him again.Naomi reached out.Took his hands.Put them on her hips.“I want you.I don’t care if you work for the CIA and you do your black ops work for the government.I don’t care if you are scheming and charming and plotting to take over the world.”

“That’snotwhat I?—”

She raised one hand and put her index finger against his lips.“It was a joke.”

His tongue licked her finger.

She shivered.

He licked her again.Then he eased back.“I love you,” Eb told her.“I…thought you might want time away from me.Normalcy.Time when you weren’t threatened.When you weren’t suspected of murder.When you could have time to think…to think and see if I was the man you wanted at your side.”

“You are.”Absolute certainty.

“We can try dating,” he said.“I’ll wine you, I’ll dine you, I’ll?—”

“Fuck me right now?”

His eyes widened.

“Because that’s what I’d really like.You and me.Here.I don’t care about being wined and dined.Pretty sure my psycho ex did that.So I’d prefer to just be real with you.I want you.I missed you.I felt like you cut out my heart, and I was barely functioning without you.Don’t do that again.Don’t leave.Stay.I want you?—”

His mouth was on hers.She was in his arms again.He’d lifted her up against him, and there were no more words.No more declarations, not from either of them.He kissed her as if he couldn’t get enough of her.As if he’d been starving.His hands shoved up her dress, he yanked away her panties.Then he twisted.He pushed her against the wall of the elevator.Pinned her with his body and his power and that strength was so incredibly sexy.

She heard the hiss of a zipper.Felt the press of his cock against her.That broad head teased her.

“I…I don’t have a condom.Dammit, I?—”

Her hand feathered along his jaw.“I should tell you…I want kids.And I really think twins would be awesome.”

He was staring at her.His pupils flared.His face turned utterly brutal with passion and a stark possessiveness.He drove into her.

That was it.Done.He pounded into her with a fierce, almost predatory lust.Again and again.One strong hand snaked between them.He stroked her clit just the way she liked.Over and over even as he took her body.The dress hiked up between them.His cock drove deep.Her nails bit into the tux.

Her whole body was bow tight.His mouth was on her neck.Licking.Biting.Sucking her skin in sensual torment.

She came for him.Screaming his name as her body bucked against his.She felt him come inside of her on a long, hot wave of release, and his orgasm just made her climax evenharder.

When it was over, her legs slid limply down him.He withdrew, held her as her feet touched the floor.Then straightened their clothes.

But he didn’t give her back the panties.

He pocketed those.

She tried to get her breathing under control.She should also, ah, unfreeze the elevator before security was called.

But Eb…he dropped to his knees before her.

“Eb?”

His head tilted back.“I want to spend my life with you.Sickness.Health.Darkness.Light.Lies.Truth.Every damn thing.I want to be there with you.I’ll fight for you.I’ll kill to protect you.And I will do my best to make you happy.You are it for me, Naomi.”

She grabbed his hands and hauled him upward.“I’ll fight for you.With a bat.With a wrench.With whatever is handy.”

He smiled at her.That dimple winked.She was a sucker for his dimple.
