theyâd captured, tortured and murdered his cousin eight years ago. The feds hadnât gone out of their way to clean up his image, but what did it matter now? There was so much that Joey didnât know. But sheâd been a thread in a web that was bigger than DEA and even now it was necessary to lead her with lies.
âThe kiss,â she said finally as fresh tears welled. âDonât fight it.â
There was something he didnât altogether trust about her spurring him on, but as heâd saidâhe couldnât fight it. Nor would he try. Giving her what she provoked, he let go of her hand to hold her head steady. She yielded, opening her mouth to bring him home.
Her taste became his, the slick stroke of her tongue as necessary to him as oxygen. No borders had been settled, so he let himself roam. Parting the halves of her dress, he bared a pair of firm tits. Palming them, preparing them for his mouth, he grazed a nipple with his tongue before catching it in a sucking kiss.
Zaf felt the pressure of her nails burrowing into the back of his neck, but when he started to retreat she pushed him closer. Gasping harshly as his teeth met her flesh, she said, âIt doesnât feel the same. Why doesnât it feel the same?â
Weâre not the same. But heâd be damned if he let that defeat him.
He unwrapped her hand from the cane and set the stick against the books beside them. Guided her to lean back. âOpen your legs. Put...â He picked up her hand, selected the middle finger. âThis one. Put it inside you.â
âUh...â
Zaf dove for her, touching his nose to hers before covering her mouth in a kiss. âInside you, Jo.â
Pulse hammering, he watched. When she slid her skirt up, exposing the slim thighs that had once straddled him, heat surged. When her hand disappeared beneath the fabric, he said something filthy that drew a private, sexy chuckle. âAre you wet?â
She nodded.
âSay it.â
âAll right.â She flattened her lips, and her cheeks flushed an irresistible dusky color. Now who was shy? âIâm wet.â
âShow me.â
Joey withdrew her hand, held it up to him. The digit that had been inside her was glazed. As if she knew what heâd demand next, she ran her finger along his mouth. And when he parted his lips to take in the salty-sweet dampness, he gently snapped his teeth over her fingertip and coaxed it deeper before letting her pull out.
âI want more of this,â he said.
She shook her head, pushing his chest so she could have room to fix her dress. âI canât. My bodyâs hot for you, but I canât stand here half-nakedââ
âNow youâre modest?â
âMaybe itâs not modesty. Maybe itâs decency.â
âOh. So now, all of a sudden, you and I are decent people?â
âI canât pretend that sex will make everything all better. Can you?â Without allowing him the opportunity to approach the question, she tugged him forward to reverse their positions. Now his back was to the stacks and she was leaning against him for balance as she unfastened his belt. âDo you feel the way you felt when I touched you before?â
Zaf was too riveted to comprehend what she was doing. He was staring at her determined frown and the tears collecting in her eyes. Then his pants were open and her fingers were sliding through his pubic hair to wrap around his dick. The first tug of her slim, soft-skinned hand had him bending his knees and groaning out loud.
âQuiet, Zaf,â she whispered, establishing a slow-stroke pace and rocking with him. âWeâre in a library.â
âHold onââ
âPrecisely what Iâm doing.â Her smile was contradicted by the visceral hurt shadowing her face. She didnât interrupt the tempo, but kept attentively working his cock. As fluid coated the tip, she made a satisfied
