run. Straight into the arms of the eye-candy she’s been trying not to
flirt with on her lunch break. But whose side is he on?
Ryan’s
security firm is having a hard time getting off the ground, and this may be
just the job to help the company out. But pseudo-bounty hunter isn’t

is forced into Ryan’s sanctuary in the woods, where she realizes just how wild
he is, but she doesn’t want to tame him. He may feel his methods of
protection endangered her, but without Krista in his life, Ryan is crazed.

Excerpt
“How cold is it
supposed to get?”
“Not too cold.
Fifties?”
“You should have told
me to bring more clothes.”
“I packed some for
you.” He grinned at her outraged expression.
“You had clothes for
me and let me parade around in that blanket all day?”
Flabbergasted, she
watched heat creep into his face as he ducked his head, his grin turning
sheepish. “A guy can hope.”
“Hope for what?”
Heart pounding, she saw the evidence of his attraction as he avoided her
gaze. Was he actually as attracted to her as she was to him? Why
all the avoidance then? It would certainly make their time together pass
faster. At least less awkwardly. “Hope for what, Ryan?”
He looked up at her,
the flush in his face making his complexion look ruddy. Hot as
hell. She couldn’t stop herself. Krista had never thrown herself at
a man the way she was compelled to do with Ryan, but the way he looked at
her—like he could devour her any second—made any semblance of decorum fly out
the window… er… shelter.
Licking her lips, she
watched as Ryan froze, every muscle in his body tensing up. There wasn’t
much space between them, but she closed it as she crawled into his lap, feeling
a devilish grin on her face. She could feel his arousal press against her
core, and she automatically ground against it, eliciting a moan from him.
She’d never been this
way with a man before. His hands came up to grip her hips, as if to stop
her, but his eyes told her to keep going. He looked helpless to stop his
desires and seemed on the verge of giving in to them.
“Hope for what, Ryan?”
she repeated in a whisper before leaning forward. She knew he wanted this
almost as badly as she did.
“Don’t…” he breathed
at her, leaning his forehead against hers.
Her pussy was so hot
and wet; she couldn’t believe he was stopping. He was hard and ready.
She rocked against him to illustrate.
“Don’t what? You
want this, don’t you?” A shot of sobering indecisiveness rankled
her. “Or is this all one-sided?” She backpedaled, crawling out of
his lap and onto her pile of leaves.
“Fuck,” Ryan muttered under
his breath. “Of course I want it, Krista. Like nothing I’ve ever
wanted before.” His voice was hoarse and gritty. He adjusted the
bulge in his pants, but didn’t come any closer, and Krista felt the sting of
rejection all over again. “You’re fucking beautiful. And
classy. And perfect.” He let out a whoosh of air she felt across
the shelter. “But I know that if we do anything, I’ll want to spend every
day buried inside that sweet pussy and I won’t be able to protect you with a
distraction like that.” He stood, ducking in the low-ceilinged
structure. “I need to protect you.” Without another
word, he stalked out of the structure, into the rain.
Krista shivered in the
sudden cold of the shelter. The temperature hadn’t dropped physically,
but the absence of Ryan left a definite chill against her heated skin.
What the fuck had just happened? She had no doubt he wanted her.
