EXCERPT
I kiss him with
abandon, with passion. I kiss him with my own demand, and then he
tears his mouth from mine and backs me up until I’m pressed against
his grand piano. “What are you doing to me?” he demands.
“This,” I say,
pressing my hands under his T-shirt.
In reply, he tugs the
shirt over his head and tosses it aside. “Is that what you want?”
“Yes,” I say with
no hesitation, my hand caressing the musical notes on his arm,
tattoos that say he claims who he is, he embraces who he is. I want
this man. I give myself permission to own my desires the way he owns
me just by being in the same room as me. And I’m not afraid of
that. Not here. Not now. Not this night.
He grips the piano
behind me, “Do you know what I want, Aria?”
There’s an edge to
him again now, a dark edge that shouldn’t appeal to me, but it
does, it so does. I ask the question he’s demanded. “What
do you want, Kace?”
“Too much,” he
says. “Too much, Aria.”
He means it. It’s in
this moment that I understand the hot and cold I’ve experienced
with this man is far more than I realized. He wants me. He doesn’t
want to want me. He doesn’t believe I should be here. My defenses
flare and my hand presses to his bare chest. “Why am I here then?
You don’t want me here.”
“I want you, Aria.
Very much. Too much. That’s the point.”
“But you don’t want
me here.”
He cups my face and
stares down at me, the hardness, somehow tender. “I do very much
want you here.”
“You’re confusing
me.”
“The feeling is
mutual, baby,” he says, his voice thick with emotion that I don’t
understand, that I’m not sure I’ll ever understand. But it moves
me. He moves me and I reach up and cup his hand on my face.
“What are we doing,
Kace?” I whisper.
He leans in and brushes
his lips over my lips, a feather-light seduction that trembles
through me. “This.” His mouth closes down on mine and his tongue
licks past my teeth, a long, deep stroke that is seduction and power,
passion, and dominance. I’m panting when his lips part from mine,
linger there, his finger stroking my cheek.
“You, woman,” he
murmurs, a hint of torment in his voice. “You are going to be my
undoing.”
I don’t know what
that means, and I don’t have time to analyze it anyway. Not when he
reaches up and catches the zipper at the front of my dress, and heat
pools low in my belly, every inch of me alive. I am alive with this
man, a ball of nerves and desire like I have never known. Slowly, so
very slowly, he lowers it, but his gaze is locked with my gaze. The
zipper slides past my belly and halts at the top of my thighs.
His hands settle at my
waist, and he leans in and kisses me. I can taste that dark edge on
his tongue again, I can taste the demand, the absolute control. In
this moment, I remain acutely aware of how much that control arouses
me, how much it calls to me.
His lips leave mine,
the hunger in his stare ravenous, but I have this sense that this is
still about control to him—he allows me to see this. His control is
a need, an absolute need that I understand. It’s the kind of need
that we aren’t born with. It’s created. I find myself in
contradiction to what I need, in wanting to give him what he wants. I
am in fact wet and trembling with the idea of giving him the control.
But that means trust,
the kind of trust that has left me alone and that I give no one.
And yet I am here with
him. Haven’t I already made the decision to trust him, not with my
secrets, but with my body?
His hands go to my
shoulders, sliding under my dress, scooting the straps halfway down
my arms. He captures me with the material, holds me with one hand,
but I’m not thinking about being held captive. I’m thinking about
his lips lingering above mine again, his breath a warm tease that
promises a taste that does not come. He doesn’t kiss me. I want him
to kiss me, I want it so badly that it hurts.
But still, he doesn’t.
He pulls back, his gaze
lowering to the swell of my breasts, his fingers stroking the
sensitive skin just above the black lace of my bra, my nipples
puckering beneath the silk. His gaze lifts to mine and he catches the
front clasp of my bra. He shoves aside the cups, his attention
returning to my breasts, and my lashes lower with the heat of his
inspection, a wave of unexpected shyness overtaking me. He has this
way of making me feel owned and it’s intense, so very
intense.
