About That Night

“We can catch a cab at the corner,” Kyle said in a thick voice.
Walking briskly, he led her toward the nearest intersection. They passed an alley about fifty feet before the corner, and without any warning, he gripped her hand tighter and pulled her in. Rylann knew exactly what was coming, and—God, yes—she was ready for it, so she wrapped her arms around his neck just as he pushed her against the brick wall, and his mouth came down hungrily on hers.
His lips parted hers demandingly, his long, muscular body pinning hers against the wall. His tongue claimed hers in hot, possessive sweeps as he held her chin firmly and took her mouth, again and again, until she was breathless.
“I’ve been wanting to do that since the moment you walked into the courtroom that morning,” he said, breathing heavily, when he finally pulled back. Then he took her hand in his again, quickly led her out of the alley, and flagged down a cab at the street corner.
When the taxi pulled to a stop in front of them, Kyle opened the door, and they both climbed in. He gave the driver the address of his penthouse, and since that was closer than Rylann’s apartment, she didn’t argue. A short five minutes later, they arrived at Kyle’s building, the taxi barely coming to a stop before he shoved a twenty-dollar bill at the driver and stepped out. He held out his hand, helping Rylann out of the cab, and then ushered her through the revolving doors.
Kyle nodded at the doorman and took her to the elevators. As soon as they stepped inside—alone—and the doors shut behind them, he backed her up against the wall and kissed her again, hot and hard. A few moments later, Rylann heard the ding of the elevator, and then she and Kyle were stumbling out, making their way to his front door. She threaded her fingers through his hair as he worked the lock with one hand, then with a groan he wrapped his arm around her waist and pushed the door open.
After slamming the door behind them, Kyle took her purse and tossed it to the floor. His keys followed, then he wrapped his arms around her waist, once again claiming her mouth as he led her through the penthouse.
When they finally came up for air, Rylann saw they were in the doorway of his bedroom. The decor was modern and masculine, but not overly so. Two light suede armchairs sat in one corner, flanking a heavy mahogany end table. A huge plasma television was mounted on the wall in front of the chairs, and on the opposite end of the room was a king-sized bed covered with several oversized pillows.
Kyle pressed her against the door, drawing her attention back to him, and swept his tongue over hers. When she moaned and arched instinctively against him, he pulled back, his eyes dark and smoky. “You’re sure this is what you want?”
She tangled her fingers in his hair. “I’m sure.”
“Good.” He took her hands and led her into the bedroom with a daring glint in his eyes. “Then show me.” He walked to one of the armchairs, released her hands, and took a seat. He waited expectantly, looking every bit the multimillionaire used to being in charge. “Start with the dress.”
Oh, really? Rylann cocked her head. “You take it off me if you want to see what’s underneath.”
He shook his head slowly. “Sorry, counselor, but this isn’t the grand jury room. I’m making the rules tonight.”
Thank God she still had her dress on; otherwise, Smug Dimples would’ve seen her ni**les go instantly hard right then.
Playing it cool, she stepped between his legs, then reached back and unzipped her dress. While holding his gaze, she slipped one strap over her shoulder, then the other. Then, ever so slowly, she slid the fabric over the cups of her strapless bra, past her stomach, and over her hips and let it fall to the floor at her feet.
Kyle’s eyes burned a path over every inch of her, taking in her ivory silk bra and matching panties. “You are so f**king beautiful, Rylann.” His gaze fell to her bra. “Now let me see those br**sts you’ve been teasing me with all night.”
“If you insist.” With a slight smile, she reached back and unhooked the clasp of her bra. She eased the cups off her br**sts, and then dropped the bra onto the floor, next to her dress.
Kyle said nothing for a moment, just looking at her. Then he beckoned with his hand. “Come here.”
She shook her head. “I’m not finished yet.”
“Come here anyway.”
She kicked off her heels and straddled his lap, settling his thick erection between her legs.
His jaw twitched as he gazed at her through hooded eyes. “Kiss me.”
Feeling slightly scandalous—but also very sexy—being nearly naked while he was still fully dressed, Rylann leaned forward and took her time, nibbling his lower lip with her teeth before lightly brushing her tongue along his. When he tried to deepen the kiss, she pulled back and teased him with her lips, hearing a low rumble in his chest.
“Good-girl prosecutors shouldn’t tease a man who’s been in prison,” he warned in a low voice.
She leaned forward to whisper in his ear. “I thought we’d already established that I’m not going to be a good girl tonight.”
She smiled slyly when she felt his erection twitch between her legs—then bit back a gasp when his hands slid to her br**sts.
“Let’s find out what bad-girl prosecutors like, then.” He brushed his thumbs across her taut, sensitive ni**les in a slow, maddening pace. She closed her eyes and exhaled unsteadily, then moaned moments later when his mouth replaced his hands.
“Kyle…” She tangled her fingers in his hair, arching back as his tongue licked one nipple and then the other, turning them into stiff, aching peaks.
