thought it was for the best if I kept my distance until this
assignment was over.”
    “What
assignment?”
    “So
you’re in love with me, huh?” Ethan’s smile lit up his face, her question
either forgotten or ignored.
    She
blushed. “Just a little bit.”
    He
closed his eyes, sighing deeply. “That’s more than I deserve.”
    Hallie
kissed him then, desperate to show him how worthy he was. He gasped when her mouth
met his and his hands reached up to tilt her head as he deepened the kiss, his
tongue urging her lips apart. The hunger of his kiss tingled throughout her
body, and she whimpered when he tore his mouth away from hers too soon, only to
sigh with pleasure as he grazed his teeth down her throat.
    Ethan
stood with her in his arms and let her body slide down his as he set her on her
feet. He bunched the fabric of her sweats in his hands, using them to bring
her hard against him. One of his thighs pushed between hers, and she felt another
flush of heat course through her. He slipped the sweatshirt over her head,
dropping his gaze to her pink lace bra when it came into view. Hallie moaned
languidly as he sucked her aching nipple through the fabric, all the while
fumbling with the tie at the waist of her pants. The touch of his fingers made
her gasp again and he slid his palms inside the fabric at her hips, running his
hands over her skin to knead her buttocks.
    Hallie freed Ethan’s erection from the confines of
his clothing and rubbed the hard shaft between her palms as he pushed her pants
down her legs to pool at her feet. He stepped around, unhooking her bra and
slid it away from her body, releasing an agonizing groan as his cock slid out
of her grip.
    He kicked off his jeans with a devilish grin.
    Bathed in the soft amber light of her lamp, they
embraced, completely naked, every inch of Hallie’s skin touching his. Ethan was
so tall he had to bend to kiss her and he took advantage of the opportunity to
run his hands up her thighs and over her butt, before bringing one around to
dip into the wetness between her legs. Hallie shuddered and threw back her
head, her fingers digging into Ethan’s shoulders to steady herself.
    He pushed her down onto the bed and leaned over to
kiss her mouth again before trailing his lips over her collarbone to her
breasts, sucking each nipple tenderly. Then, with agonizing slowness, he
continued down her body to her pulsing clit. Hallie held her breath as he
flicked his tongue over her for the first time but couldn’t control her sudden
gasp when his next taste was possessive. She jerked upright from the bed,
burying her hands in his hair to keep his mouth against her. Ethan slid his tongue
along her wet lips with devastating skill, holding her firm, repeating his
ministrations over and over again. Her legs began to shake, and he pushed them
out of the way with an urgent nudge on the inside of each thigh, groaning as he
buried his head further. Hallie felt a thick finger probing at her entrance, but
he didn’t enter her, leaving her to jerk helplessly against him as he held her
on the brink.
    She gazed at him, wondering what he might be
waiting for, only to find him staring up her body as if drinking in the sight
of her reaction to his touch. Ethan’s thumb circled her clit and suddenly, slid
the rest of his finger into her pussy, sending her muscles into convulsion
around him as he pushed deeper and deeper with each thrust. Hallie’s hips arched
off the bed when her orgasm hit, and Ethan moved up to suck a nipple into his
mouth while his fingers continued to coax her devastating release.
    When her quivering subsided, he covered her body
with his own. His lips were clamped firmly shut and Hallie knew he was hiding
his fangs from her. She rubbed a thumb across his mouth, pressing gently to ask
for access. When he opened for her, revealing strong white fangs, she touched
them softly and smiled to show him that she wasn’t afraid. Her caress caused a
growl to rumble through
