“I...”

He ran his fingers through her hair that had come loose from the ponytail.Without asking, he pulled the rubber band off.

A shiver coursed through her as she reached up.“What are you doing?”

“I’ve never seen your hair down.I like it.”

She finger-combed her hair.It had to look pretty messy.When she glanced up at him, her nipples tightened, and her womb pulsed at the possessive, territorial look in his eyes.

“Do you have any other family besides your parents?”

She shook her head.“No.Do you?”

“No.I’m the last McKenzie.Do you want to have children?”

“I want children more than anything.I’ve dreamed about having a big family.”

“Me, too.”

She fidgeted when he sat there and stared at her, making her anxiety rise.“Wh-what are you thinking?”

He lifted her easily and set her on his lap.“I’m thinking you’re about as perfect as I’ve ever seen.”

The feeling of his erection under her bottom made her thoughts scatter.

She sat very still while he ran his fingers over her face as if to memorize it before he cupped the back of her head and then took her lips, covering hers with a hunger that took her breath.

A ball of pleasure quickly grew to make her already sensitive breasts ache, and her nipples tightened painfully.The heat from his body surrounded her, causing her pulse to beat erratically.When he forced her mouth open by twisting his mouth on hers and his ravaging tongue tangled with hers, jolts of electricity coursed through her veins, making her moan.

She had no idea how long they sat there holding each other and kissing before the sound of her beeper penetrated.She pulled away from him.

“My beeper is going off.I have to get it.”

A feral growl slid from his throat, but he did release her.

She checked the message.“I’m sorry, Kaden.I’ve got to go.”

He stood and walked to her.“I know, Honey.The next weekend you have off, plan on being at my house.”

Her eyes widened.“The whole weekend?”

“Yes.”He pressed a hard kiss on her lips, turned, and left.

She hurriedly locked the house and jumped into her vehicle.She had plenty of time to think about what Kaden just said.At that moment, she needed to stop being a woman and let the vet side of her take over.
