heartbeat as strongly as she felt her own. His body was hot and hard and
glorious. He entwined his hands in hers, then slid them to either side of his
head, as if she’d trapped him.
    He shifted his hips. Her belly pressed tight against his
erection. Nothing separated them but denim, silk and the last vestiges of her
reluctance.
    “You trapped me,” he told her, “like this, the minute the
door was closed.”
    She smiled, unable to squelch a saucy shot of pride. “Did you
try to escape?”
    “Not even a little.”
    “Did I kiss you?”
    “Oh, yeah.”
    She might not remember the night in question, but from the
rasp and scrape of Shaw’s voice, his unfulfilled desire was still raw. Still
needful.
    “Do you want me to kiss you now?” she asked.
    When his eyes darkened to the color of a midnight sky, Kate
no longer cared about the night she couldn’t remember. She just wanted a night
that she’d never forget.
    “So much, Katie-gate, I couldn’t…can’t…breathe.”
    She smashed her mouth against his, releasing the last of her
fear. In one flood of sensation, she ground her pelvis against his. He
countered by hooking his leg around hers and pulling her even closer.
    “God, Kate,” he said, in between the breathless kisses. “I’ve
waited a whole year to relive this moment.”
    She swiped her tongue across his mouth and smiled. “It’s
only fair, because I think I’ve been waiting my entire life.”

Chapter 10
    Somewhere in the back of his mind, Shaw remembered there was
something he was supposed to be doing. Blind-sided and bursting with need, he
could only focus on kissing Kate, feeling Kate, pleasuring Kate.
    Her mouth was lush with heat. She tore aside her dress,
leaving her body nearly naked except for her insanity-inducing turquoise bra
and matching panties. Rhythmically, she danced against him as if her libido
drove the music—his music. Grabbing her ass, he lifted her high, wanting more
than ever to bury himself deep inside her, the way he’d fantasized about since
that night.
    That night.
    Right. They were supposed to be re-enacting it all. But he
no longer wanted to dwell in the past. He wanted to live and breathe and kiss
and make love in the here and now.
    With Kate. His Kate.
    “God, do you know how hard it was,” he said, his words
choppy as he explored the flesh on her neck and shoulders, “to restrain myself?
You were so hot. You told me, in intricate detail, exactly what you wanted me
to do to you. What you wanted to do to me.”
    She tore at his shirt, forcing it away from his body. The
lace of her bra chafed gloriously against his chest.
    “No reason to resist this time.”
    He pulled back just enough to shake off a layer of lusty
haze. “No reason?”
    Her smile was radiant. He lifted her higher. She wrapped her
legs around his waist, giving him the leverage he needed to carry her to the bed.
    He laid her down on the comforter and took a long moment to
drink in the sight of her, all pale flesh, bright blue lingerie, dark red hair
and flashing green eyes. Against the gunmetal gray, she was a burst of color
and texture and light.
    “You take my breath away.”
    “I bet you say that to all the girls,” she countered.
    Shaw kicked off his shoes, removed his jeans and climbed on
the bed. “I probably have,” he admitted, drawing a finger along the curve of
her cheek and then into the thick silk of her hair. “But you’re like human Rohypnol.
One look at you knocks every other woman in existence from my brain. I haven’t thought
about anyone else since I listened to you tell me everywhere you wanted to be
touched. Kissed. Tasted.”
    She snagged her bottom lip in her teeth and worried the skin
until he ran his thumb over the moistened flesh to stop the unfair and unworthy
assault. If anyone was going to chew on her lips, it was going to be him.
    So he did. He gorged himself on every part of her body,
lingering at her sweet center and milking an orgasm as he had last night.
