missed Ty. That is until her car’s lights landed on Ty leaning against the porch post…as if he were waiting for her.
Evan’s heart raced and her stomach tensed. She’d been so confident when she’d told Ty she knew how to please herself, but would he find her inexperience with men a turnoff or lacking in some way?
She cut the engine and turned off the car’s lights, dousing the house in darkness. After she’d shut her car door and started to approach the porch, she couldn’t decide which was louder, the buzzing of night bugs or her own pulse racing in her ears.
Ty had his arms crossed over his chest in a casual stance. When she stood on the step below him, he didn’t move or say a word. But even in the moon’s light, she saw the glitter of desire in his gaze as he raked it down her body.
“I won’t make you any promises.”
“I don’t expect any.” Her lower stomach muscles tensed at his curt, dark tone.
“My way.”
“Fine.” She lifted her chin a notch at the challenge in his gaze. It was as if he were goading her, trying to get her to cry off.
“Come here,” he commanded, his voice a low rumble.
Taking a deep breath, Evan climbed the final step and stood in front of him.
He didn’t move, didn’t lower his arms. He just stared at her with his intense gaze. Yet she felt his heat and her body reacted to his closeness…even with the wall of control and folded arms he held between them.
The tense silence lingering between them was getting to her. Evan started to speak, to break the tension, but Ty chose that moment to lower his arms and take a step toward her.
“What did he do to you?” he asked.
“What?” She took a step back.
“If Chad didn’t have sex with you, how far did he get?” he grated out as he turned and took another step.
His action forced her to back toward the door if she wanted to keep her gaze locked with his. Why did she feel he was purposefully trying to rile her?
The toe of his boot landed between her feet on the floorboards. He crowded her personal space, his broad shoulders making her feel small for a woman of her height. Or was it his dominant charisma that made her feel that way? The tension emanating from him caused her to take another step back, but this time her boot heel hit the front door. Her heart raced while her stomach clenched at his question.
“I don’t see what Chad and I did has any relevance.”
The moon’s light behind him immersed Ty’s face in shadows. He placed a hand on the door behind her, caging her in.
“Did he touch you, bring you to climax with his hands?” he continued in a husky tone.
Evan’s heart raced at his relentless, intimate questions.
When she didn’t respond, Ty lowered his face close to hers. “It doesn’t matter. For the next couple of days, I’m going to be the only man on your mind, the only man you want sliding inside you.”
There was something about the quiet certainty of his tone that scared her. It wasn’t arrogance on his part, but more an assured confidence that had her breath hitching in her throat. Could she handle what Ty was sure to throw her way?
“I’m going to push you to your limit, take you out of your comfort zone.”
Her spine stiffened at his low threat. “How do you know I won’t take you out of yours?”
White teeth flashed in the dark. She felt his feral smile like a tiger running his tongue along her shoulder, sampling his prey before he took his first, deep bite.
“You’re welcome to try.”
It was now or never. She had to show him she was no one’s patsy to be pushed around.
Evan grasped his package through his jeans then ran her fingers over his erection before cupping his cock.
His body tensed and she heard his hissing intake of breath. She gave him a knowing smile. “I’m ready.”
Ty reached down and pried her fingers off his erection. Lacing his hand with hers, he grasped her other hand and pulled them up over her head. He pressed her hands against the
