me.”
Most of all him.
Maybe she’d taken that as a challenge, because she suddenly slid her arm around his waist and snuggled against his side. He tensed now, but not with revulsion. He tensed because his body was reacting to the closeness of hers.
She lifted her face to his and fluttered her lashes. “You’re right,” she said. “Everybody knows how much I hate you. They would never believe I’d be doing this...” Then she reached out and ran her fingertips along his jaw as she leaned even closer to him.
Now she was challenging him. And Clint had never turned away from a challenge before. He leaned down and brushed his mouth across hers.
She gasped in reaction.
And he deepened the kiss, pressing his lips against her silky soft ones. He nipped and nibbled at the fullness before sliding his tongue inside her mouth. She tasted so damn sweet, like that vanilla he smelled on her, and she was so hot.
His body tensed even more as desire gripped him. He wanted her, but the only thing he should want was to protect her. With passion overwhelming him, he was too distracted—too unaware of what and who might be around them.
His brilliant plan to elude Luther’s crew had backfired. Instead of putting her in less danger, he’d put her and himself in more.
And not just in danger of being attacked.
He was in danger of wanting what he could never have: Rosie Mendez.
Parker cursed and barked into the phone. “How the hell did you lose him?”
“I didn’t know he was going to try to shake us,” the other man replied. “I thought he was probably taking a different route to the safe house.”
“But he’s not there,” Parker surmised.
“He hasn’t shown up yet.”
Where the hell could he have gone? He’d refused to go to the ER. And there was no way in hell he would have taken the witness back to her place, not after the two of them had nearly been killed at her apartment.
It must have been that close call and Clint saving her from getting shot that had had Ms. Mendez changing her mind about his being her bodyguard. And Parker had thought he’d gotten through to her as well. But maybe he hadn’t...
Maybe she had only agreed to have Clint as her bodyguard because she’d intended to ditch him and the security detail altogether the minute she had the chance.
Had she escaped Clint?
“Damn it,” Parker murmured.
He couldn’t have failed already in the assignment his stepfather had asked him to do. He couldn’t have lost the eyewitness who would have finally put Luther Mills behind bars for the rest of his miserable life.
