I realize we’ve been unconsciously leaning toward each other. I step
back, but he closes the distance again. His subtle, clean, masculine scent
intoxicates me.
“I’m your best option. I have enough experience to guide you, teach you,
and protect you from harm. If you want to, of course.”
“What harm?”
He brushes my cheek lightly with his enormous finger. The touch
electrifies my skin. “Harm from other guys, from your friend, from yourself.”
I think about his size, knowing I’m not ready for this man. “If I don’t want to go all the way …”
“Then we won’t. If you want to,
this could be an addition to the other skills I’ll train you on …”
I keep stepping back, shortening the distance to the trees. “Wouldn’t that be fraternizing? You’re not
supposed to fraternize with Nats. They’ll deport you.”
He looks at me as though I’m crazy. “So? The world if full of places for
us to go if you wanted to come with me.”
He’s deluded. No country would admit me without a passport tattoo. But hearing those
words from his deep, masculine voice is heaven. “They’ll execute you.”
“I’ve put my life at risk for others
ever since I joined the Army. It’d be a nice change to risk my life for
something I want for me.” His humorless face smolders. “I
crave you.”
Aleksey craves me. My
cheeks warm at his words, and I don’t
know what to say. He looks as though he has been dying to let those words out
for a while. His eyes look at me expectantly. I can recognize his lust but … is
there a difference between lusting
and craving?
I shake my
head. It doesn’t matter, anyway. He is an
ex-soldier, and he looks more dangerous
and violent than actual soldiers, so he’s off-limits. But I’m overwhelmed with feelings I haven’t ever felt before.
I look at
him questioningly. “I don’t know anything about
you.”
The cop looks down at himself and smiles wickedly. “You know my feet are
big. What is left to know?”
I am a bookaholic and regret nothing.
I spent years trying to become a contemporary dance choreographer. Eventually I realized that I enjoyed writing my stories rather than creating dances for them.
I am obsessed with books that present damaged characters, swoon worthy guys, controversial topics and happy endings.
