Matt, a Delta Force operator, has always listened to his instincts, and they have yet to steer him wrong.

If they survive…

As
Matt stood close to her on the sidewalk, she lifted her gloved hand
and placed it lightly against his bomber jacket. His long mane and
beard gave him a fierce, primal look, which she actually found
exciting. She wanted to lie down with this beautiful man and
feel his warm body beside her. Dara’s gaze drifted to his
sexy mouth. How she had fantasized kissing it, feeling his warm lips
on hers. She saw his eyes narrow as they instinctively moved closer
to each other, their body heat mingling in the below-freezing air.
The moment was so full of promise that Matt slid his hand down the
small of her back and tugged her gently forward, giving her
the chance to hold back if she wasn’t ready.
Oh,
but she was ready. As the wind blew against her hair, he
instinctively lifted his hand and curved the strands away from her
face. Dara leaned closer, closing her eyes and feeling Matt’s moist
breath against her face. Again, she felt his hand pressing her
solidly against him.
He
was so strong, so grounded, that she allowed herself to flow into
him, feeling him shift slightly as he leaned down to capture her
upturned lips in a gentle kiss.
His mouth
brushed hers, inviting her to respond, and his kiss brought a small
sound of pleasure from her. Dara felt him hold her tightly, his
erection needing to be free, now pressing against her belly, warming
her and flooding her with hunger and desire.
Again,
his mouth grazed hers, nudging her lips open, coaxing her to respond
more fully, and she did. Dara slid her other hand around Matt’s
shoulder, her fingers against the nape of his neck. She smelled the
Afghan lye soap he’d used, which mingled with his own male
fragrance. Hungrily, she breathed it in as his mouth moved even more
firmly against her own.
Matt
gripped her shoulder, bringing her flush against his chest. Her
nipples instantly grew hard; she wanted his mouth upon them, wanted
him to tease them, forgetting about the wind, the cold, the
possibility of being observed. For once, Dara allowed herself to get
lost in the heat and light of Matt’s gentle probing. She could feel
him gauging her responses, allowing her the time and space to decide
just how far they should go in exploring one another.
As
his fingers dug more firmly into her shoulder, she felt her body
arching against him, her lips parting, and boldly she touched his
lower lip with the tip of her tongue. That one movement brought
renewed urgency to them both, and she felt Matt quiver with need for
her.
Dara
pushed closer, her whole body humming, the heat arcing from her
breasts down through her belly. She felt dampness between her thighs
and knew he could take her at this moment, anywhere, and she would
respond freely, because the world around them had disappeared, and
only the two of them existed.
As
he slid his hand beneath her neck, his fingers tangling through the
strong, silky strands of her hair, he angled her to bring her mouth
closer. Both of them were breathing erratically now, and Dara
was lost in Matt’s arms, loving the way he held her. Matt was a
first for her. She’d never had such a sensitive, considerate lover.
Dara moaned
as he pulled her closer to his straining body, knowing she couldn’t
bring Matt inside her B-hut because men were not allowed in the
women’s quarters. But her frustration was already curling through
her throbbing lower body and she kissed him more fervently, wanting
all of him and knowing she couldn’t have him, at least not now.
An
MP Humvee slowly turned the corner down at the end of the street and
both Dara and Matt pulled away. She looked at him with a
combination of frustration and amusement. “Wow. Has anyone ever
told you how good a kisser you are?”
“I’ll
never kiss and tell,” he teased, his voice still thick with desire.
The
MPs drifted by and moved on down the street. Safe from curious
eyes, Dara stared up at Matt, her body still on fire. “I
wish,” she whispered, sliding her hand up his leather-jacketed
chest, “this didn’t have to end tonight.”
“That
makes two of us, sweetheart.” Matt threaded his fingers through her
hair, watching her lashes lower with pleasure at his touch. He looked
around and then met her upturned gaze. “What if I told you
there was a somewhere we could go to be together? A place
that was totally private, where we wouldn’t get chased out by MPs.”
He grazed her cheek with his thumb. “Would you be interested?”
