Excerpt :

He wiggled uncomfortably and the blanket fell open, revealing his naked chest. Sera's body hummed in appreciation at the muscled abs and ripped chest. Damn, but he hadn't gotten any less gorgeous since she'd left.

"That was part of what freaked me out so much. I felt myself inside you. From your perspective."

Ahh, she hadn't considered the homophobic angle. "The sensation of penetration bothered you, I take it?"

"Just a bit."

She couldn't help but snicker at his expression. "I happen to like it so that's why you did too. Don't worry, you aren't going to start playing for the other team anytime soon." He was so ill at ease it was laughable.

"I figured that out, eventually. Thanks for sticking around to explain it though."

"Did you want me to chase you down the road? You're the one who bailed, not me." If he wanted to get sarcastic, she'd give it right back.

"I came back the next day and you were gone. Poof, not a sign of you. I didn't think a woman could pack for a weekend away in less than a day and you had closed up and disappeared in half that time."

Sera remembered the frenzy of packing to get out of the house before he sent a lynch mob after her. She'd cried her way across the country, heartsick at his utter rejection of her, terrified at what he'd do once he calmed down. If Denali hadn't heard her mental anguish, she'd probably still be running.

"You're right. I should have stayed to discuss it with you once things calmed down but I was afraid."

"You were afraid?" He lifted one eyebrow.

"Believe it or not, nothing like that had ever happened to me either. I'd never lost control of my emotions to the point that I pushed them on another person. I was a little freaked myself."

"And I made it worse by swearing at you. I'm sorry, Ser. Really, I am." He moved closer and pulled her hand out from under the blankets.

"It's all in the past. We both reacted badly. There's no sense shoveling around the blame. Let's just let it go."

"I'd like to do that. Really, I would but there's one problem."

Oh shit. What now? Her pulse pounded through her at his touch. "Oh? What?"

"I don't want to let you go."

Quick as lightning, he covered her body with his much bigger one and swooped down to take her mouth with his.

Sera had no time to protect herself, and at the first touch of his lips, no desire to either. God, how she'd missed this. Missed him. Missed the instant fire he could create inside her with just the touch of his mouth on hers. She let out a groan and gave herself over to the pleasure coursing through her veins.
