gone?”
    Kate tried to come up with a good reason. She decided keeping it simple was her best option. “You had already left and I’d just realized it was sitting on my desk. I thought you’d want it as soon as you got in.”
    This only made him smile, slowly, revealing those attractive dimples she liked so much. “And you didn’t want to just drop it off first thing in the morning? No need for you to stay late...”
    “Guess I hadn’t thought of that,” she said dismissively.
    “I think you had. I think you were also thinking of the day before, when you spilled coffee on me.”
    Kate winced. “I am so sorry about that.”
    But Lucas ignored her apology and continued as though she hadn’t spoken. “I know you felt it, too. The electricity.”
    She had felt electricity. She had felt a spark threatening to ignite between them the first time they met—and every time they met after that.
    He leaned forward on his knees, blue eyes staring straight into hers with such focus and intensity that she was swallowed up until she had to look away. “And I think you were scared of what would happen if we were left alone in a room again together.”
    “Guess I faced that fear,” she murmured, a glint in her eye.
    Lucas laughed. “Yes, you did.” A sly smile lingering on his face, he added, “Speaking of...” He reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out something red and lacy. “You left these behind.”
    He let her panties hang off of his middle finger.
    Kate felt a jolt of heat rush through her, but she tried to keep herself compose. Leaning forward, she replied, “I think you’ve got a bra, too, if I’m not mistaken.”
    He raised an eyebrow. “I do. Did you need it?”
    Her grin widened. “As a matter of fact I do. I left mine at home tonight.”
    His blue eyes flickered down to her chest, noting her dip of cleavage and the hard peaks of her nipples visible through the thin fabric. He sucked in a harsh breath, “I see.”
    She rose up from the couch and walked over to him, feeling brazen thanks to his gaze. She leaned over him, laying her hands on either side of him on the armrests. Her cleavage was slipping out of her tight red dress, she knew, and directly in his line of sight.
    “Did you want to give it to me?” she asked, letting him interpret the words as he saw fit.
    His gaze flickered up to her face, lingering on her lips. “I would love to.” His hands reached out to graze along the sides of her thighs, her hips, and up along her waist until finally reaching her soft breasts. He gave them a hard squeeze. “But I think we’ll have to take this off first.”
    Kate grinned at him, enjoying the feel of his hot hands on her body. She leaned down farther so that her lips were just an inch from his. “Then take it off.”
    Heated gaze searing through her, he closed the gap, crushing his lips to hers. His hands squeezed her breasts again, before slipping down lower over her body again. When he reached the hem of her short dress, his hands wandered up beneath it, cupping her rear.
    She parted her lips, letting his tongue slip inside her mouth.
    His hands made followed their earlier trail upwards again, this time taking her silky dress with them. He revealed her panties, black, lacy and so tiny they barely covered her shaved mound. His hands stopped at the swell of her breasts, before forcing her to straighten up so that he could stand. When he did, there was so little space between their bodies that she could feel the hardness in his pants pressing against her core.
    He broke the kiss and she silently lifted her arms so that he could take her dress the rest of the way off of her. Her bare breasts were exposed to the cool air.
    He threw her dress to the side, then his hands went to the elastic of her panties. She placed her hands over his before he could take them off.
    “Nu-uh,” she whispered. “I think you need to lose something first. It’s only fair.”
    His blue eyes flashed and he pulled
