At
that
moment
the
telephone
rang;
she
hoped
he
didn’t

see
the
relief
on
her
face.
“Excuse
me,”
she
said,
standing
quickly.
“That’s
probably
the
agency
calling
to
let
me
know
my
hours
and
clients
for
next
week.”

As
Shelly
listened
to
the
agency’s
secretary
tell
her
what
her
schedule
would
be
for
the
following
week,
she
tried
to
get
her
thoughts
back
together.
Dare
had
stirred
up

emotions
and
needs
that
she’d
thought
were
dead
and

buried
until
she’d
seen
him
two
days
ago.
His
presence
had
blood
racing
through
her
body
at
an
alarming
speed.

“All
right,
thanks
for
calling,”
she
said
before
hanging
up
the
phone.
She
quickly
turned
and
bumped
into
a
massive

solid
chest.
“Oh.”

Dare
reached
out
and
quickly
stopped
Shelly
from
falling.
“Sorry,
I
didn’t
mean
to
scare
you,”
he
said,
his
words
soft
and
gentle.

She
took
a
step
back
when
he
released
her.
Each
time
he
touched
her
she
was
reminded
of
the
sensual
feelings
he
could
easily
invoke.
“I
thought
you
were
still
sitting
down.”

“I
thought
it
was
time
for
me
to
leave.
I
don’t
want
to
take
you
from
your
work
any
longer.”

She
rubbed
her
hands
across
her
arms,
knowing
it
was
best
if
he
left.
“Is
that
all
Jared
said?”

He
nodded.
That
was
all
she
needed
to
know.
There
was
no
need
to
tell
her
that
Jared
had
suggested
the
possibility
of
him
having
legal
visitation
rights
and
petitioning
for
joint
custody
of
AJ.
Both
suggestions
he
had
squashed,
since
he
and
Shelly
had
devised
what
they
considered
a

workable
plan.

His
gaze
moved
to
her
hands
and
he
watched
her
fingers
sliding
back
and
forth
across
her
arms.
He
remembered
her
doing
that
very
thing
on
a
certain
part
of
his
anatomy
several
times.
The
memory
of
the
warmth
of
her
fingers
touching
him
so
intimately
slammed
another
arousal

through
his
body
that
strengthened
the
one
already
there.

At
that
moment,
he
lost
whatever
control
he
had.
Being

around
her
stirred
up
memories
and
emotions
he
could
no
longer
fight,
nor
did
he
want
to.
The
only
thing
he
wanted,
he
needed,
was
to
kiss
her,
taste
her
and
reacquaint
the

insides
of
his
mouth,
his
tongue,
with
hers.

Shelly
was
having
issues
of
her
own
and
took
a
steadying
breath,
trying
to
get
the
heated
desire
racing
through
her
body
under
control.
She
swallowed
deeply
when
she
saw
that
Dare’s
gaze
was
dead-centered
on
her
mouth,
and
fought
off
the
panic
that
seized
her
when
he
took
a
step

forward.

“I
wonder…”
he
said
huskily,
his
gaze
not
leaving
her
lips.

She
blinked,
refocused
on
him.
“You
wonder
about
what?”
she
asked
softly,
feeling
the
last
shreds
of
her
composure
slipping.

“I
wonder
if
your
mouth
still
knows
me.”

His
words
cut
through
any
control
she
had
left.
Those
were
the
words
he
had
always
whispered
whenever
they
were
together
after
being
apart
for
any
length
of
time,
just

moments
before
he
took
her
into
his
arms
and
kissed
her
senseless.

He
leaned
in
closer,
then
lowered
his
mouth
to
hers.

Immediately,
his
tongue
went
after
hers
in
an
attempt
to
lure
her
into
the
same
rush
of
desire
consuming
him.
But
she

was
already
there,
a
step
ahead
of
him,
so
he
tried
forcing
his
body
to
calm
down
and
settle
into
the
taste
he’d
always
been
accustomed
to.
He
had
expected
heat,
but
he
hadn’t
expected
the
hot,
fiery
explosion
that
went
off
in
his

midsection.
It
made
a
groan
erupt
from
deep
in
his
throat.

His
hands
linked
around
her
waist
to
hold
her
closer,
thigh-
to-thigh,
breasts
to
chest.
Sensation
after
sensation

speared
through
him,
making
it
hard
to
resist
eating
her

alive,
or
at
least
trying
to,
and
wanting
to
touch
her

everywhere,
especially
between
her
legs.
Now
that
he
had
rediscovered
this—the
taste
of
her
mouth—he
wanted
also
to
relive
the
feel
of
his
fingers
sliding
over
her
heated
flesh
to
find
the
hot
core
of
her,
swollen
and
wet.
