tattoo.” She shrugged carelessly.

His eyes went over her body again. He didn’t see a tattoo.
“What tattoo?” He was instantly wary of the wicked glint in her eyes.
She turned over, slowly. His eyes widened. It stretched across her back. A delicate intricate vine and two graceful, open flowers just above the full globes of her buttocks.
“Do you like?” She turned her head, flexing the muscles of her ass temptingly.
Jesse felt perspiration dot his forehead. His cock was screaming for action, his hands itching to clench those tight little globes, to separate them. He shook his head, fighting for control.
“Why?” he finally asked as he fought to breathe.
She turned back over, watching him carefully.
“Tally dared me.”
He shook his head, his gaze now centered on the glistening ring at her clit. He moved closer to the bed, his mouth watering, the need to taste her nearly overwhelming.
“Tally?” he asked, wondering what the hell his secretary could have to do with this.
“Yes. Tally. Tally Raines.” The name slid through his mind with dawning horror. “We’ve been friends forever.”
He nearly lost his erection. “She’s evil,” he burst out, shaking his head as he thought of the wily, sarcastic-tongued little shrew that ruled the offices atDelacourte Electronics.
“Evil?” She tilted her head, smirking at him. “You’re just mad because she doesn’t kiss your ass and makes you do your own filing.”
He was not going to spend the rest of the morning arguing over the sharp-tongued dragon he had made the mistake of hiring last year. As soon as possible, she would be transferring to another office anyway.
He’d be damned if he would have someone in his office who could out-yell him. And damned if she couldn’t do it.
“Stay away from Tally,” he growled. “She’s dangerous.”
He picked up his clothes, dressing quickly. If he didn’t get out of the bedroom he was going to lose control again. He had to figure out what the hell had happened to his control before he even considered touching her again.
She lay there on the bed. Calm. Cool. Her hazel eyes quizzical as she watched him pull his clothes on.
She didn’t say anything, and he’d be damned if he knew what to say at this point.
“I’ll call you this evening,” he said as he tucked his shirt into his pants, glancing at her, his temper building as she watched him so calmly. She should be furious. Screaming, cursing and threatening him until hell wouldn’t have him.
“Don’t bother.” She finally shrugged. “I wasn’t looking for anything, Jesse. You started this, if you’ll Generated by ABC Amber LIT Conv erter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html
remember. Not me.”
“Like hell I did,” he snapped as he strode back to the bed and pulled her from it as she gasped in surprise.
He had her in his arms, her gaze widening, her perfect lips parting on a gasp.
“Jesse,” she cried out, arousal and surprise vying in her voice.
“You started this the other night, Terrie,” he reminded her brutally as he fought the lust pounding through his veins. “I told you not to push me. Not to provoke something you couldn’t handle. Now I would suggest, for the time being, you stop pushing or we may both come to regret it.”
Before she could let loose with the fury of words he could see building in her expression, his lips slammed down on hers, parting them. Her tongue meeting his halfway as he pushed it past the seam of her lips. He groaned, arching her closer into his body as he ate at her, licking at her, savoring the taste of her.
They were both breathing hard when he pulled back. He knew he was damned near as dazed as she looked and once again his body shuddered as he fought for control.
“Tonight.” He was breathing hard as he set her carefully away from him. “I’ll call you tonight.”
