Kyle,
one of the alpha men of Walker Security, is hot, bothered, and
intense, and when Myla lands in his line of fire, she'll soon learn
her secrets, and her passion, belong to him, from New York Times
bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones.
Myla
is beautiful, a dove with clipped wings, captive by the wolf, a
vicious drug lord. One look into her eyes and Kyle could see the
pain, the fear...the desperation. Or so it seems. He's been fooled
before by a woman and it cost him everything and everyone he loved.
He won't be fooled again.

“I
want your trust.”
“And
what will you do if you get it?”
His
hand comes down on my leg, intimate, wrong. Right. “When I earn it
you won’t ask that question.”
“I
wish you could earn it,” I say, and my hand goes to his and I tell
myself it’s to push him away, but I don’t even try.
“I
can and I will,” he says, leaning in, or maybe I lean in or we both
do, but we are close, our faces, our lips, and our breath. “Maybe
not tonight or tomorrow, but I’m not going anywhere.”
“And
then what?”
“And
then, everything changes,” he promises, and suddenly his lips brush
mine, a barely there touch that I feel, oh how I feel it in every
part of me, before he pulls back and then he’s gone, leaving me
swaying and grabbing hold of the cushion.
“Fuck,”
he curses, standing up and giving me his back, just long enough to
run a rough hand through his hair and to face me while I try to calm
my racing mind and heart. “That can’t happen,” he says.
I
blink. “What? I didn’t try... we didn’t…” Confused, heat
and embarrassment assail me and I stand up, rushing toward the
bedroom, running this time, but I simply don’t care. But I also
don’t escape. He’s there before I make it into the bedroom,
stepping in front of me, his hands settling at my waist, branding me,
scorching me.
“If
we happen now, you’ll question why. You will fear that I’m
setting you up, and fear is not what I want from you.”
“Then
what do you want from me?”
“I
could tell you trust again, which is true, but right now, in this
moment, what I want is you. Every part of you naked, every way I can
get you. Beneath me, on top of me, under my tongue, and many other
ways.”
“You
can’t say that to me.”
“And
if I’d given you some generic bullshit answer you wouldn’t have
believed it, I would have scared you just as much as actually doing
what I want.”
“I
wouldn’t have let you.”
“We’re
fire, sweetheart. We both know it. It’s inconvenient, but it’s
undeniable, which means we’re going to have to find a way to deal
with it because I meant what I said. I’m here. I’m not leaving.”
My
hands go to his wrist. “Let me go.”
“I’ll
stop touching you, sweetheart, but I’m not letting you go.”
