I know you havent said much about that night, but sometimes its good to let it out. Its silly, she said with a tearful sniffle and her head buried against his chest. Getting kidnapped and seeing your brother shot doesnt rank as silly in anyones book. His own gut twisted with remembered worry at receiving the call from Alexander about her kidnapping, and then getting the call from Kathleen about his friend having been wounded. It had not been a good night. Promise me you wont do anything like what my crazy brother did, she pleaded, gazing at him with eyes that were wet and shiny. Hed make the promise, but he had no hesitation in breaking it if it meant protecting her. I promise, he said. But she wasnt buying it. She twisted in his lap to face him, which had her straddling him in a decidedly intimate way. Not that she noticed, since she was intent on punching him in the shoulder to emphasize her point. Damn it, Peter. Im serious. I know youve learned to accept violence and bloodshed, being a cop and all, but I cant. I get it, solnyshko moyo, he replied with little conviction, forcing him to snag her fist with his hand to block the next blow. The action sent her lurching against him and he wrapped his free arm around her to steady her. Now there was no missing the effect she was having on him, which brought an unexpected response from her. For real, Peter? she asked, eyes now wide with a mix of surprise, excitement, and maybe even anger shimmering around the edges. Im a man, Tatiana. She rolled her eyes. As if that excuses anything. He chuckled, but didnt release his hold on her. Youre a beautiful woman Really, she said with a bite of sarcasm and another eye roll. And Im a handsome man. And modest, too, she said, and yanked her hand free of his grip, but laid it on his

Id be lying if I said I wasnt attracted to you, sweetheart. But I also want it to be about more than physical attraction. He was well aware he was opening himself up to problems, but was willing to take that risk. Maybe truthfulness now might offset her anger that hed hidden his real identity from her, along with the secret he had yet to tell. What if I was okay with it just being physical? she replied, shocking him. He hadnt pegged her for a one-night-stand kind of woman. Narrowing his gaze, he searched her features, trying to gauge the sincerity of her statement. But he wasnt able to tell if she was being truthful in her reply. So he opted for the humor that seemed to work for them. What if I said I wasnt a one-night-stand kind of guy? Seriously? You want me to believe that? she shot back, playfulness in her tones once again. I want you to believe this. He covered his mouth with hers, communicating to her everything that he felt but couldnt say. Urging her to respond. # Tatiana did, opening her mouth to his and accepting the slide of his tongue. Tasting him and leaning against him until every inch of their bodies melded together. His powerful arm had her locked tight to him, and at her center the large and very strong jut of his erection was impossible to miss. She got wet just thinking about him sliding his cock into her, and rocked her hips against him, inviting him to do just that. Not yet, solnyshko. Not yet, he murmured against her mouth and reached down to cover her breast with his hand. Her hard nipple rested against his palm for only the space of a heartbeat before he took it between his thumb and forefinger, caressing it into an even tighter peak. She sighed into his mouth and guided his free hand to her other breast, loving the feel of his hands on her. Wanting the roughness of them so much that she couldnt wait a second longer. She whipped off her T-shirt, revealing that she was bare beneath the soft cotton. Earning a deep

groan from him as he covered her with his hands. He held still for a moment. You are gorgeous, he said, reining in her rush for him to pleasure her. Making her feel precious as he tenderly stroked his hands across her breasts, his gaze on them for only a moment before he looked up. Are you sure, Tatiana? Despite all her reservations about why they could not be together, she was sure of one thing. I want your hands on me. And your mouth, she said, and warmth traveled across her cheeks at her boldness. She had never been this daring with her only other lover, but then again, he had only been a boy and Peter was all man. Like this? He bent his head and licked her tight nipples, causing her to shudder. Yes, like that, she said, and dug her fingers into his hair to hold him close.
