world if only for a moment.
    He drove her the short distance to her hotel and parked where she directed him, toward the rear of the hotel, closer to her room. It was very quiet. The heat of summer must not be tourist season in small town Texas.
    Beau slid out of the truck, and Kesslyn moved to hop out, but he blocked her exit. She thought he was going to help her out of the big truck. Instead she found herself on the edge of the driver seat with her legs dangling and Beau wedged firmly between them. He cupped her face and stroked her lower lip with his thumb.
    Those sexy brown eyes burned through her, melting her instinctual fear of being pressed against a strange man. He did n’ t feel strange to her though. He was mesmerizing. Kessly n’ s hands skated up the sleeves of his dress shirt to caress his shoulders.
    “ I need a little taste. Just a sip, baby. You gonna give it to me ?” He was moving in, staring at her mouth. Waiting.
    Bea u’ s hands glided up her waist and over her shoulders until he cupped her face in his hot palms. He loomed over her so big and strong. He was going to kiss her. She should stop him. She should, but she could n’ t. Kesslyn wanted to taste his flavor as badly as he wanted to sample hers.
    He hovered there so close to her lips that his breath mingled with hers. He was still waiting for her permission to kiss her before he let her go. No, she was n’ t afraid of this stranger at all. She nodded slightly. Giving him the consent he wanted.
    Beau growled softly and took her mouth. It was n’ t a slow building kiss. It was an explosion. Their mouths touched and they both dove in head first. Their tongues danced as smoothly as their bodies had earlier. There was no tentative searching. None of the unfamiliar awkwardness of a normal first kiss. He kissed her like the y’ d been lovers and he knew just what it took to set her body on fire.
    Beau crowded her making her feel all at once vulnerable and shielded. The kiss went on in a frenzy of exploration. They each searched out the othe r’ s flavor and savored it. He kissed her deep and long making her want with a fierceness she was n’ t accustomed to. Damn the man could kiss.
    Beau was the first to pull away from the kiss, but he did n’ t release her or back away to let her out. He stared up at the sky above the truck. His broad chest heaved as he took several deep, calming breaths. A shudder ran through his big body. Kesslyn realized Beau was attempting to rein in his need.
    Kesslyn clutched his shirt while she too tried to catch her breath. Somehow, knowing he wanted her as desperately as she wanted him was freeing. His cock was a solid mass between them and she wanted it. She wanted to feel all of that heat deep inside her body. She wanted Beau and knew she could have him if she just said the word.
    Her hands moved from his shoulders to the front of his shirt. She gripped both sides of the expensive shirt and tugged hard, sending buttons flying in every direction. Her hands immediately went to the hard muscled chest she was so eager to explore. Bea u’ s hands gripped the edges of the roof of the vehicle tightly. Like he was holding on to keep from grabbing her again. She wanted his hands on her body. She just needed to ask for it. Kesslyn nuzzled her face against his chest. She let her tongue sneak out to taste the skin of his nipple.
    “ Baby, Kesslyn, please. I’ m trying to be a gentleman here. I’ m failing miserably and that is n’ t helping me a bit, darli n’ . This is one of those times I do n’ t mind admitting I’ m just a man, and a weaker man than I want to be . ”
    Beau tried to back up but Kesslyn hooked her legs around his and held onto his tattered shirt.
    “ To leave me now would be very ungentlemanly .” She licked his other nipple and he shuddered again.
    “ I wo n’ t want to stop, darli n’ . I’ m just a man and dammit that feels good .” He groaned and the vibration coming through his chest made
