Touching her was a mistake.

The men hidden below them resumed talking, but he wasn’t listening.

He could remember, as if it were yesterday, massaging shampoo into her hair, the two of them in the shower, water sluicing over her curves, followed by his hands. She’d been ready, had always been ready for him, and he’d lost himself in her, so much so it took his breath away.

Her low gasp brought him back to the present and he realised he had gripped her arm harder than he had meant to.

And although he couldn’t see much in the dimly lit duct where they were trapped, it sure looked as if her eyes were throwing sparks. Well, as long as she was already mad at him…

He dipped his head forwards and took her lips. She was soft and sweet, as mind-bending as he remembered. He had been craving this reunion from the day she had walked away, and he liked to think that now and then she had thought of him, too.

Still, it came as no surprise when she put a hand to his chest and pushed, not even whispering but breathing the words “No. Parker, no” against his mouth.

Like the bastard he was, he kissed her anyway. Because he could.

And felt immensely gratified when in the next second she melted against him.
