He tore his mouth away from hers so abruptly that she almost fell forward.

“You need to be sure.”

She blinked her eyes open and squinted.When did it get so damned bright in her kitchen?

“What?”

“I need you to be sure.I don’t want you to do this…”

“What?”

“I get that a lot of people get a hero complex about being rescued.”

Even though she had had that fleeting thought, anger still bubbled up.“So, you think that if Kap showed up here and kissed me, I would just fall into bed with him?”

His eyes widened.“No.”

“Or maybe I would just have an orgy with your team?Has that happened before?”

“No.”He sighed.“I just want you to be sure.You are vulnerable, and I don’t want you to make any decisions you’ll regret later.”

“Well, if you think I’m doing this because of some kind of thank you, maybe you should leave.”

“I can’t.”He pulled her back so that she could feel his body against hers once again.“Leaving would break me.”

“Then why?—”

“I’m an asshole.I have hangups that you don’t want to know about.”

She studied him for a minute.“Why on earth would you say that?I mean, I don’t want to know about any hangups at the moment, but just for your information, I want to know everything about you.Every.Thing.Why wouldn’t I?It’s insulting that you would think?—”

He stopped her talking with his mouth.God, he was a good kisser.Like, she didn’t go around kissing that many guys, but all of them that she had kissed should have to take lessons from Ryan.

She slipped her hands up his chest to his shoulders and leaned into the kiss.She should stay mad at him, but she couldn’t.Not when he was absolutely destroying her with nothing more than a kiss.

Then, he was pulling away from her again, lifting her up into his arms.

“Ryan,” she squealed.He laughed, a deep, rich sound that seemed to bounce off the walls and make everything around her seem warmer.

“I could have walked.”

“I like carrying you,” he said.He stopped in the middle of the hallway.“I just realized I don’t know where your room is.”

“Last door on the left.”

He hurried down the hall, causing her to giggle.“In a hurry?”

“You were seconds away from being fucked up against the wall.”

Another wave of heat blazed through her.Her panties had to be destroyed at that point.Useless.

He stepped into her bedroom and made it across the small space in two big strides.After he set her on her feet, he made quick work of her shirt and bra.Jeez, the man had the most amazing hands.He skimmed his callused fingers against her sensitive flesh, her nipples tightening with the slightest contact.As he plucked one nipple, he retook her mouth, his tongue stealing in without hesitation this time.She lost herself again, as her hunger started to overwhelm her.

This man had barely touched her, and she was ready to lose everything in the first few minutes.

Even as he continued to plunder her mouth, he slid his hand down to her pants.Her stomach muscles quivered as his digits passed over them.Every little caress seemed to push her closer to the edge.

He unbuttoned and unzipped her pants, then, giving him enough room to slip his fingers beneath her panties.She moaned against his tongue when she felt his fingers sliding along her slit.Her clit was pulsing, her nipples now so hard she could barely breathe.
