to you.”
She cocked an eyebrow. “Are you that mediocre that I’d fall asleep?”
“Not by a long shot, but you, on the other hand, have had a helluva night and day. You have to be ready to drop.”
“I was, until I stepped into the shower…naked. All the water swishing over my naked body revived me.” She looked at him from beneath her eyelashes. “What part of naked is not doing it for you?”
He laughed and kissed her hard on the mouth, his tongue pushing past her teeth to sweep along hers in a long, slow caress.
When he came up for air. He slipped his hands beneath the hem of her nightgown and followed the curve of her hip, dipped in at her waist and brought them to rest on the swells of her breasts.
She inhaled deeply, pressing into his palms. “I thought you’d never get there. And yet, here you are.”
He leaned down and blew a stream of warm air over her turgid peaks. She could feel it through the delicate silk. “They were too tempting.”
“Good,” she said. “I was beginning to think I needed to get a refund on the gown, or up my game of seduction.”
“Oh, babe,” he growled, “your game is on, and you’re winning.”
“If I’m winning, why aren’t you in the bed with me?” she asked, her eyebrows raised. She patted the mattress beside her. “And you’re overdressed.”
“Demanding much?” he quipped and straightened.
“Damn right. I’m only in this country for a few more days. I want to spend all of them with you.”
“You’ve got me for the duration. Only thing is that I don’t pack protection when I go to the field.”
A grin spread across her face. “Not to worry. This motorhome is equipped with everything from twenty-four rolls of toilet paper to all the protection you could possibly need for a year in country.” She rolled to her side, reached into the nightstand drawer and pulled out a box containing two dozen condoms. “Will this be enough?”
He laughed and took the box from her, extracting one of the packets. “More than enough for the short time we’ll be together.” His brow furrowed again. “Are you sure this is what you want?”
She nodded. “Very much so. I’ve been around you now for a full twenty-four hours. It feels like it’s been weeks. It’s like I’ve known you so much longer. But if you’re uncomfortable doing this, you’re not obligated. I can’t get you fired.”
He smiled. “I’ve wanted this from the moment I found you.”
“In the body bag?” She shook her head. “How long have you been in this country? Obviously too long, if you’re wanting to make love with a corpse.”
While she’d been in the shower, he’d stripped out of the bulletproof vest and his uniform jacket. “That’s just it, I didn’t find a corpse in that bag. I found a beautiful, lively woman who captured me with her smile.” He tugged his T-shirt out of the waistband of his trousers, pulled it over his head and tossed it to the side.
Sunny feasted her gaze on his broad shoulders and rock-solid chest. The man was beautiful, and she couldn’t wait any longer to touch him, taste him and feel him moving inside her.
She sat up and loosened the belt around his waist. Then she unbuttoned his trousers, exposing the boxer briefs beneath. “Not commando?”
He shook his head. “No way. You never know when you’re going to sustain an injury. Having a gorgeous nurse patch you up is one thing. Most often it’s a male medic.” He shook his head. “Nope. Not going there.”
“Good reasoning. My grandmother always told me to wear clean underwear when I went out in case I got into a car wreck.”
“Same thing,” Dash said and kicked off his boots.
Sunny grabbed both sides of his trousers and tugged downward.
He took over and pushed the pants to the floor, stepping free.
Already Sunny could see the affect she had on him. His erection pushed against the fabric of his black briefs.
Her eyes widened. He was big.
“You can change your mind at any time,” he assured her. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“I’m not changing my mind.” She reached out a hand. “I want you. Now.”
He shook his head. “Not yet.”
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“You’re not ready.”
“I’ve been ready since you first kissed me,” she argued.
“I want to make you come before I do.” He gripped the hem of her gown, tugged it up over her head then dropped it on the nightstand.
Sunny shivered as the
