You.
But she couldn’t say that. It would ruin their professional relationship and–
“I want you to kiss me,” she found herself saying.
Well…damn. Now that it was out in the open, might as well own up to it. Shedidwant him to kiss her.
She waited, without an ounce of patience, as Rynar kept looking at her. Finally, his lips turned into a smile that melted her insides.
“Good,” he said, voice almost a purr. “Because that’s exactly what I want to do, too.”

RYNAR
The two of them became a blur.
Rynar blinked, and the next thing he knew, his lips were on Alissia’s, his right palm was cradling her hips, and his left hand was tangled in her hair.
Alissia didn’t want to be outdone, though. Her small, nimble fingers were already pulling away the remnants of the suit off his shoulders, even while she kissed him like she wanted to devour him.
Feeling her passion, so unrestrained, drove him wild.
Whatever was left of his logic quickly dissipated in a haze of lust. But with the last rational thoughts, he remembered Alissia’s hesitation. She said she was confused.
“What are you worried about?” he murmured against her skin as he left a trail of kisses down her neck.
Alissia arched her back deliciously, her half-buttoned dress slowly slipping lower, revealing the barest top of her breasts. “That we’re going to screw up our working relationship.”
To be completely truthful, Rynar worried about that, too. But he was the one who found solutions in the most obscure details. “We’re two very intelligent and professional beings.”
“Yes, we are.” Alissia moaned as his arm tightened around her middle, pulling her into him.
“And we both keep our word,” he went on, his voice dropping so low, even he barely recognized it. He didn’t know what it was about Alissia, but having her in his arms brought out instincts he thought he’d left back on Deruzia.
“We do. We’regreatemployees.”
“And we’re discerning.”
“And loyal.”
“So if any two beings are capable of notscrewing up, then it’s us.” He and Alissia would be okay after this month ended. They had to and Rynar would make sure of that.
Alissia let out a giggle. “This is going to sound weird–”
“Nothing that comes out of your mouth is weird.”
“But this little chat? It’s hot.”
“You’rehot.” She was a flame incarnate, beckoning him to blaze alongside her in an inferno, and he wanted toburnwith her.
He captured her lips in another searing kiss that melted into a soft moan from Alissia. The dress slipped lower and lower, reaching the top of her glorious behind.
“I still haven’t forgotten about the wings,” she said between kisses, her words a bit muffled. “But that’s a discussion future Alissia can have. The current one can’t.”
“We’ll talk about everything. Tomorrow,” Rynar said and meant every word.
“Yes,” Alissia went on, peppering kisses down his neck. “Right now, my mouth is a little occupied.”
