A Major Connection
dog.”
    “He’s not my dog,” she muttered and went back to the garden, secretly thrilled at being topless. She didn’t think anyone else would see her, but that Thorn could made it all so naughty.
    He ignored her and focused on the dog, teaching Lobo how to sit and stay, commands the dog should already have been trained to obey yet didn’t. She stopped shoveling and watched the play of sunlight over Thorn’s body.
    April sighed, wishing lust was the only thing she felt. If only he’d be a demanding jerk when they weren’t sexually involved. But he’d made her breakfast and shared a sensual shower earlier, where he saw to her needs before his own. An unselfish lover. Check. A kick-ass body. Check. A big package he knew how to use. Double check. And he smiled with his whole body when he looked at her. Oh man, triple-quadruple check.
    She turned-to on the sprinkler and finished the repair.
    “The dog obeys. Let’s see about you,” came a low growl right in her ear.
    She started, not having heard him creep up on her. Before she could turn around, he knelt behind her and put his arms around her waist.
    “Um, awkward position here, Thorn.” She was off balance, her bottom snugly pressed against his steely cock as she sat on her heels, one hand holding a shovel. And I’m topless, don’t forget that. Her nipples felt every breeze that passed, wishing Thorn’s fingers would replace the wind.
    “Tell me about your sister.”
    “Are you kidding me?”
    He yanked her with him to stand and dragged her to the lounge chair, where he sat before pulling her onto his lap. He had her straddle him, face-to-face.
    He stared at her breasts and licked his lips.
    She waited.
    He did nothing but stare as she drenched her teeny-tiny bottoms, so aroused she ached.
    “Come on.” She nudged him with a soft kiss, but he didn’t respond. “You know I want you. Suck me.” She held her breast to him and plumped her nipple. April had no problem telling him what she wanted. She just didn’t want to think about it after the fact.
    He raised his gaze to hers. “I said tell me about your sister.”
    She blew out a breath. “You’re going to be difficult about this, aren’t you?”
    “Yes.”
    She sighed. “Fine. She’s younger by a few years.”
    “How many?”
    Still no touching. She decided she’d play until he lost that icy composure. Except for the bar grinding under her bottom, the man might as well have been a statue. She cupped both breasts, teasing herself into greater arousal.
    “Jane is younger than I am by three years. She’s twenty-seven. I’m thirty.”
    “And?”
    He stared again at her chest, his eyes shuttered.
    “Oh, that feels so good.” She rocked over him, heard his sharp intake of breath, and smiled. “Jane is engaged to Dan—Captain Morrow. He seems like a great guy.”
    “Mm-hmm.” His reached around and stroked her back.
    Finally. Touching.
    “Sh-she’s pregnant. Seven months.”
    “Congrats. You’re going to be an aunt.” He stroked her lower back and rounded his hands to her front, just under her breasts. “What else?”
    “She’s in Raleigh visiting my parents,” she hissed as he cupped her breasts and stroked her nipples with his thumbs.
    “Pretty.” Thorn took one nipple into his mouth and sucked, tonguing her flesh but not biting or giving her the rough treatment she needed. The anticipation made her lightheaded until he stopped. “You’re close to your family, aren’t you?”
    It took her a moment to understand him, because he’d moved onto her other breast, tugging her nipple with his lips and teeth. So gentle. Too gentle.
    “We all…God, bite me. Please.”
    He teased with his tongue instead.
    “Bastard.”
    The other hand cupping her breast squeezed, but he refused to clamp down on her nipple.
    “Sorry, Sir.” No, I’m not. “Yes, I’m close to my family. We all love each other, but I can’t think about them right now with you doing such nasty things to
