HE WINKED AT HER.
Her smile spread into a wide grin, then she impulsively threw herself into his arms. Bruce staggered back before gaining his wits and wrapping his arms around her slight, soft frame. Cyn was laughing, squeezing him, her hands on his shoulders, his nape, along his spine.
From one moment to the next, his body reacted predictably to holding an attractive woman he wanted.
Her laughter was a powerful aphrodisiac, and combined with the feel of her body in his arms, it was enough. More than enough.
Right and wrong didn’t play into it. He wanted to lower her to the narrow cot behind them and claim her as his own.
His mind was still fighting that image when Cyn turned her face up to his. Tears of happiness made her pale eyes glassy. The second their gazes met, he was a goner. He cupped her face, relishing the warm softness of her skin, breathing hard with growing need. “Cyn.”
He tried to say her name as a warning, wanting her to shove him away, slap him, elbow him in the chest again. Anything that would shake off the overwhelming need.
She stared at him with confusion, then dawning awareness. Her breath caught, and slowly, very slowly, her thick lashes dropped over her eyes in a sign of permission and acceptance.
That did it.
