tongue slide over the pad and circle around twice before freeing it.
    He let out a sexy little moan, which I leaned forward to capture on his lips.
    Kissing Davis was an experience in luxury. At first he did little more than react, but then he got into the action, and when he did…whoa, he did it right. His mouth moved slow and easy over mine. The contact might have felt 44

    casual if not for the way his tongue tickled me open and then plunged in to explore.
    By increments he drew back, holding my advance at bay with firm hands on my upper arms. I didn’t want to stop touching. I didn’t want to stop kissing. I wanted him naked and writhing under me. I wanted him thrusting and hard, deep inside me. And I sure as hell didn’t want to hear whatever he was saying.
    “…this a good idea?”
    “A good idea?” I doubted it, but my brain had shut off a while back. Bringing it back online took a little work.
    “I just want to be sure it’s you with me and not Amethyst.” His gray eyes were so serious. “Some mythologies claim dragons are instinctively sexual creatures. I want you, but I need to know that you want this as much as I do.”
    I struggled to get a grip on my libido. Maybe he was right. This wasn’t very in character for me. Not the sex part. I was okay with that. But the out of control and giving in to my baser side was not me. Here we were about to have sex while the bad guys were probably hunting us down, and I couldn’t even work up a worry for anything more than how to get Davis out of his pants.
    It was Amethyst. It had to be. But I still wasn’t sure if Amethyst’s desires changed anything. “Davis—”
    “Call me Ben or Benjamin. If we have sex, and I think we are about to, I don’t think you should be screaming out my last name.”
    Just like that, all my fear slipped away. I couldn’t help but laugh at his expression. “I do believe you’ll have me screaming soon enough…Ben.”
    He kissed me again, this time with enough spark that I thought I might burst into flame right there on his lap.

    When he drew back, breaking the kiss, his lips formed a cocky grin. “What were you going to say?” Was I going to say anything? Oh yeah, before he’d singed my shorts off, not that I was wearing any. I was still in nothing but his shirt, and at some point that had managed to come unbuttoned. “I think that Amethyst is me and I am Amethyst. At least to a certain extent.” One dark eyebrow jumped upward. “So which of you wants to make love to me?”
    “Both of us do, which is what makes it an easy decision.” As he released my arms, I slid back into his embrace. “I only have one question.” I nibbled at his shoulder, working my way up his neck. “Where will we do all this lovemaking when the bed is covered with six tons of books?”
    “The books can move. Believe me, they can burn as far as I’m concerned.”
    I chuckled at his intensity even as I knew he didn’t really mean it. His books held the past eight years of his life. He wasn’t about to let them burn just for a little nookie. But I wasn’t about to point out his exaggeration when he was feeling ambitious. He kissed me soundly and tossed me from his lap before turning his attention to the books in question. While he focused on stacking and moving them, I did all I could to distract him by removing his clothes and exploring his very nice body.
    Ben had what I called a grade-A butt. And his shoulders were about perfect as far as I could tell by feel or taste. His muscles bunched as he moved, and each motion showed off his lean masculine body. I pressed my front to his back and reached around to unbutton his shirt.
    The moment my breasts crushed against him, he froze. I undid his buttons while being sure to shimmy slowly 46

    against him. When I finally slid the shirt over his shoulders and tossed it to the side, I could just about see the steam rising from his skin.
