But she could feel him. Warm. Solid. All man. She was as close to him as she'd been since arriving in Mexico, and the way he had her boxed in was making her breaths come faster, her pulse beat quicker, and his familiar scent was doing crazy things to her libido.
Keep it together. Don't freak out…
His finger trailed from the shark tooth at her throat to the silver chain lying across her collarbone. Electrical pulses arced across her skin. “I wonder what's at the end of this.”
She didn't immediately register what he was talking about. Then he brushed his finger down the left side of the chain, heading for the locket hidden inside her shirt.
Panic closed in. She slapped her hand over his. Surprised, he stilled his fingers against her overheated skin and looked up into her eyes.
“Don't,” she whispered.
One side of his lips curled in a wicked for-her-eyes-only smile. The same smile he'd given her hundreds of times when they'd been tangled together nine years before. The same one that still made her knees weak today.
“I have this strange feeling you're hiding something from me, Blondie.”
She was. Everything.
She narrowed her eyes and worked for blasé when inside she felt anything but. “You have an overactive imagination, Leighton.”
“I may not have the fancy degrees, but I'm good at uncovering secrets. And I've already figured out yours, Maren.”
Maren's breath caught. “I…I don't know what you're talking about.”
“Yeah, you do.” Beneath her hand, he traced his finger over the edge of the chain again, inching slightly lower until he grazed the top of her breast. Tingles spread from the spot, straight to her nipples. “I'm talking about this. You and me. And all that bullshit about being colleagues. You can spew as much of it as you want, but I know the truth.”
Her brain felt like it was short-circuiting. When he touched her like that, she couldn't remember where she was. What she was doing. Couldn't remember anything.
“And-” God, there went her voice again. Weak, pathetic…aroused. She cleared her throat. “What's that?”
“That the girl you used to be is still in there. And as much as you're trying to be all professional and detached, I know that girl's dying to come out and play.”
She stared at him. Didn't know what to say. Didn't know anything except her thumping heart and racing pulse and the hundreds of butterflies alive in her belly. “Stop being cute, Leighton.”
He smiled again. Slow. Sexy. Dangerous, because he was the worst kind of temptation. “You think I'm cute?”
“I think you're trouble.”
He chuckled. “That doesn't sound nearly as bad as I know you want it to sound. In fact, it sounds kinda fun.”
Her jaw clenched at his obvious amusement. And because…he was right. It sounded like a helluva lot of fun to her right now, too.
