EXCERPT
He
wanted her--he was a man with a pulse, for God’s sake, of course he wanted
her--but he had to do what was smart.
He
dragged his gaze away, cleared his throat and looked around. “You’ve got some
pricey stuff in here. God help him, he found himself staring at the bed again.
“I
go after what I want,” she said, low and sexy, her eyes glowing hotter than
ever.
She
smelled sweet…edible. Was it coconut? Maybe just a taste.
“And
what is it you want?” he asked, telling her he wanted it, too with a tone that
registered in her eyes like the flick of a gauge needle.
She
hesitated, stepped back, on guard. “It’s more important what you want, Gage.
Why are you here? In Lounge Life?”
His
answer counted big, he knew. “I’m a gamer. I needed a job.” What would a true believer
say? “I like what’s here. It’s like a family.”
“You
don’t have one already?” Her eyes glittered with suspicion.
“Not
really.” His sister Beth was all he had and she was missing. That was his real
reason to be here.
“Lifers
are my family,” Rena said, emotions rippling beneath her words, like muscles
under an animal’s pelt.
Their
gazes locked and the connection went abruptly personal. He saw a lonely little
girl behind her eyes and she, no doubt, caught a flicker of the grim kid he’d
been.
The
past reeked, but it was gone.
An
electric thread sizzled between them. “What I want is right here.” He looked
her up and down, wanting in, letting her see that. He liked the spark in her
eye, the challenge in her half-smile, not to mention that tight, strong body of
hers—everything in the right place and then some. He was pretty sure it was her
hair that smelled of coconut. “How about you?”
She
moved grabbed his belt and tugged, telling him all he needed to know.
