IN DARKNESS REBORN
Alexis Morgan
Barak wrapped her in his arms, his mouth crushing down on
hers,
a warrior claiming his prize.
His kiss gentled, exploring her mouth leisurely, content to let the heat build at its own pace. Lacey teased
his tongue with her own, smiling when he groaned with deep pleasure. She wanted him to take her right
then, right there on the lab counter. It was crazy and risky, and she didn’t care. But when she reached for
the buttons on his shirt, he stilled her hands.
His breathing was ragged. “Lacey, we can’t, not here.”
He was right, but that didn’t make it easy to hear. But then he said, “But before we go any farther down
this path, you have to make sure this is what you really want. I won’t take a lover who is embarrassed to
be seen with me in public or who only takes me to her bed when she’s sure that no one will know.”
His words cut through to her heart, hurting her even though his intention was to protect them both. He
was right. Kissing him in a fit of temper or even to offer comfort was one thing. Letting everyone in the
organization—not to mention her brother and the rest of the Paladins—know that she’d invited their
enemy into her bed would be a disaster.
He must have read her answer in her eyes because he stepped away, giving her one more measuring look
as he left the lab, letting the door swing shut behind him. She’d done the right thing; she knew that for a
fact.
But then why did it hurt so much?
“Great sexual tension and action—I love these hunky, heroic guys!”
