Page 2 of When He Fights
She’d done everything they wanted but…
Her ex had discovered the truth.Now he was coming after her.The authorities couldn’t find him.He’d seemingly vanished.An easy enough task considering all of Logan Catalano’s shady connections.
The Feds were afraid that he planned to kill her.Thus, her hyper-protective bodyguard and hiding in off-the-beaten-path motel situation.Anastasia was also concerned about the same dire ending for herself—and, thus, her not arguing at all when she’d had to go on the run with her new bodyguard.
Fun fact?She wanted to keep living.She liked living.Sue her.
“I don’t mind sleeping on the floor,” Kane told her.
The lust was gone from his eyes.One thing she’d quickly learned about Kane was the fact that the man was great at concealing his emotions.Hello, stoic expression.But she’d seen that flash, and she now knew that there was a weak spot in his armor.“Is that what you want?”Oh, yes, her voice had gone breathy.She couldn’t help that.Grabbing onto her courage with both hands, she closed the distance between them.Stopped right in front of Kane.Tilted her head back and stared into those wonderful eyes of his.“Why don’t you tell me what you really want?”Husky.
His jaw hardened.“Ana.”
“Kane.”She put one hand on his chest.Ohmygosh.So hard.So strong.So sexy.
“This isn’t a good idea.”
“What isn’t?”Did he understand—at all—how difficult this was for her?She was taking a risk, but Anastasia thought he was worth it.Honestly, he might be worthanyrisk.
“If I get in that bed with you…” Kane’s words trailed off.
“What will happen?”The heat from his body reached out and curled around her even as his rich, masculine scent tempted and teased her.
“I’ll fuck you.”
Her mouth dropped.Oh, yes, sweet victory, he’d just said the words…Out loud.Finally, the man had given voice to the simmering need between them.She’d felt that need almost from the first moment.Tried to ignore it.Tried to fight it.And then she’d just given up.She felt an instant attraction to Kane.Felt an amazing chemistry that made her body practically burn for him.And he was saying he felt the same way.
“Good.”Anastasia shot onto her tiptoes.Her hands curled around his shoulders as she tried to pull him and his delectable mouth closer to her.“That’s exactly what I want you to do.”
His hands clamped around her waist.“No.”
Yes.In so many ways…yes.“Why not?”Her gaze searched his.
“Because you’re scared.Because you’re living on the edge.Because you’re not thinking clearly.”
“Kane?”Her heart slammed hard in her chest.
“Yeah?”
“Shut up and kiss me.”
And he did.Those powerful hands of his lifted her like she weighed nothing and he held her and his mouth crashed onto hers.Implosion.Explosion.Whatever.Her whole body seemed to ignite as a white-hot lust raced through her veins.Her mouth was open.His was open.His tongue thrust into her mouth, and he tasted and he took.Her nipples tightened and her sex quivered, and she knew she was getting wet and super turned on and it was all from a kiss.
Her nails bit into his shoulders.A moan broke from her.She let go of all control and kissed him like the desperate woman that she was.
Kane.
He’d been in her dreams.In her mind.In her fantasies.And, ever-so-sneakily, he’d worked his way into her heart.
Her legs wrapped around him.Seemed like a normal move to make as he held her with that effortless strength of his.Kane was moving them.Taking a few, quick steps even as he kissed her as if his very life depended on the task.Then she felt the hard, flat surface of the wall against her back.He pinned her between his body—his heavily aroused body—and the wall.
Kane was built along massive dimensions, and the cock shoving so hard against her was equally massive.
But his hold was careful on her waist.He’d always been so careful.Meanwhile, she just wanted to rip the man’s clothes away and climb all over Kane.
“No.”He’d torn his mouth from hers.“I can’t.We can’t.”His breath shuddered out.He didn’t back away.Kept right on pinning her to the wall.
Her legs kept right on being wrapped around his waist.Her nails were still in his shoulders, pressing through the t-shirt.“Kane?”
