Ryne turned
his attention back to Kalina. She was silent but there was an
answering flare of lust in her eyes. Leaning closer, he put his hand
on her bare thigh.
Her pulse
in her throat fluttered in reaction, showing her heart rate
increasing. He partially lowered his lids and slid his hand up her
leg, stopping at the hem of her skirt. He waited to see what she would
do. Kalina smiled, a sensuous grin, then leaned into him.
His cock
hardened. Her scent of cinnamon and caramel filled his senses. Kalina
leaned close enough to almost kiss him. She lowered her focus, raking
his body, and it was almost like a physical touch. When she raised her
attention to his eyes again, they were burning with hunger.
“Why don’t
we get this over with?” Kalina’s whispered words tickled his lips.
His
erection throbbed in anticipation. Smoothing his hand farther up her
leg, he touched the edge of her lace-topped panty hose then the
garter. Ryne shuddered as with his finger he touched the silk. He
heard Kalina’s heart rate increase.
She licked
her lips.
He
leaned over to kiss her.
The cold
touch of steel between his legs stilled him.
Kalina
smiled, a nasty grin. “Move it or lose it. I may have to work with
you, but I still don’t have to like it.”
Cautiously,
he lifted his hand off her thigh and sat back. Kalina leant forward,
keeping her dagger pressed against his still-hard cock. He could have
disarmed her, but instead chose to wait and see what she would do.
Kalina
stood slowly, her blade steady and sure against him. She leant down
until her lips almost touched his.
“You are a
handsome man, Ryne Garon. Then again, I’ve been with handsome men.
That won’t get you into my bed. It takes a lot more than a pretty
face.” Kalina’s whisper-soft words tickled along his lips.
In the next
second, she was across the room and walking to the door. He hadn’t
seen her move. He enjoyed the movement of her ass in her skirt. It
reminded him of a sensuous rhythm and mesmerised him. It made his body
feel…
Hot.
Achy.
Horny as
hell.
Ryne stared
as she reached the door and glanced back at him.
“Are you
coming, or are you going to stay there watching my ass all day?” She
opened the door before striding out.
Biting back
a laugh, he stood and followed her. He went into the hall and found
her leaning against the wall, waiting for him.
Ryne strode
closer until there was barely any space between them. “Don’t pull a
weapon on me again unless you plan to use it,” he growled.
Kalina met
his gaze. “When I pull a weapon, I always mean to use it.”
Kalina glanced down then back up at
him. Ryne looked down and saw a ‘K’ carved in his pants. Glancing up,
he noticed her lips twitch. |
