contrast of silky smooth feminine skin against his rough and calloused fingers. Gentling his touch, he wrapped his palms around her small waist and initiated a more intimate touch, stroking the pads of his thumbs across the sensitive skin below her breasts .
    She gasped at the contact and her eyes flew open, revealing an emotional mix of deep desire as well as fear and confusion. Seeing her struggle with herself, but not against him, he blew out the breath he’d been holding and continued the slow, sensual caress.
    The key is to keep her feeling, not thinking.
    He wanted her excited by his touch, to acknowledge the chemistry between them and trust him to take her to places she’d never dreamed of. But in order for that to happen she needed to go with what her body craved and ignore the fear and confusion pounding in her head.
    “You have no idea what you do to me,” he murmured as he dropped whisper-soft kisses along her temple and continued to stroke her skin, occasionally brushing the underside of her breasts.
    Her fingers were still frantically clutching his shirt, but she’d closed her eyes and appeared to be relaxing, which gave him the encouragement he needed to inch backwards into her bedroom, pulling her with him. When he hit the edge of the bed, he eased down and pulled her to him. “Pull your knees up and sit on my lap.” Surprisingly, she did as he asked without a fight.

    His entire body throbbed with an almost overwhelming need to rip the thin strip of fabric disguised as underwear from her body and ram himself into her to the hilt. But tonight wasn’t about what he wanted. Tonight, everything was about Nikki.
    He worked his hands under the curve of her ass and pulled her as close as humanly possible without actually being buried inside her. He flexed his hips and drove his steel-hard erection and the rough fabric of his slacks into the intimate folds of her body. “Feel how hard my cock is? That’s what you do to me.” He rotated his hips, grinding himself even further into her. “And once you’ve given yourself over to me, I’m going to fuck you seven ways from Sunday.”

    Nikki gasped and forced her eyes open at the intimate intrusion and Adam’s words.
    Holy hell, what was she thinking? The ravenous look in Adam’s eyes and the intense set of his jaw shocked her into realizing she obviously wasn’t thinking or she wouldn’t be sitting on his lap, thoroughly enjoying what appeared to be a rather impressive cock.
    She’d stripped down to barely nothing in an effort to get him all hot and bothered—
    sort of like he’d done to her in the car—with the idea of leaving him cold—sort of like he’d done to her in the car. She obviously hadn’t thought the whole stupid idea through very well or she would’ve easily seen how it might backfire.
    As soon as she’d heard the door to the coach open, realized they were alone and she was barely dressed, she’d started to overheat. When she’d seen him step up to the bathroom door, the heat had turned to simmering lust. When he’d touched her and told her she’d pleased him, she’d suffered a total meltdown.
    No one had ever looked at her with such desire. There was nothing subtle or covert about it. He wanted her. Her body and brain had instantly parted ways and it had taken all of her self-control to keep from launching herself at him and begging to be fucked.
    His touch left trails of fire on her skin and his whispering kisses were hypnotic. His erection crushing into her caused her head to spin and his brutal honesty about what he intended to do to her made her want to scream yes .
