Who she was. Part of him wanted to grab her and shake her, scold her for her carelessness, because she didn\u2019t even look around.<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t hiding. The room was dim, but he stood in the corner, leaning against the wall, and all she had to do was look around and she\u2019d see him.<\/p>\n<p>But all she did was shut the door and flip the locks.<\/p>\n<p>Then\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. she stood there.<\/p>\n<p>Her back to him. Her shoulders rose and fell rapidly, and distantly, he was aware of the harsh sounds of her breathing filling the room. She leaned forward and pressed her forehead to the door. A sob ripped out of her. She slammed a fist against the door and the sound of it caught him off guard.<\/p>\n<p>Anger and grief rolled from her, and he felt frozen there. Guilt flooded him and part of him wanted to slip out of the room, disappear, and leave her alone with whatever hurt her.<\/p>\n<p>The other part of him wanted to go to her and haul her against him, make her tell him what had hurt her\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. so he could kill it. Fix it. Whatever. He didn\u2019t know which one he was supposed to do. He was good at killing things, but fixing them? Not so much.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t supposed to happen.<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t supposed to care\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. not for anything or anybody.<\/p>\n<p>She wasn\u2019t supposed to matter, yet she did. More than anybody or anything, save for Alex.<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t want this inside him, but there it was.<\/p>\n<p>She slammed her fist against the door and screamed and he just couldn\u2019t take it anymore. Shoving off the wall, he crossed the floor. He didn\u2019t know what he was going to do, what he was going to say\u2014<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDamn you, Gus.\u201d The words came out in a ragged sob.<\/p>\n<p>His heart jumped into his throat.<\/p>\n<p>She was crying\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. over him.<\/p>\n<p>He almost tripped over his feet, his shoes scuffing on the hardwood floors.<\/p>\n<p>She gasped and whirled around.<\/p>\n<p>He saw her hand go to the weapon strapped to her waist, and he moved, catching her wrist and pinning it to the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Her eyes went wide as she stared at him, damp and glinting with tears. Her mouth fell open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGus\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDamning me finally?\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n<p>She sucked in a breath and reached up, fisting her hand in his shirt. \u201cYou\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. you\u2019re okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reaching over, he caught the weapon and tugged until she let go of her Glock. He laid it down on the small table to his left. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t go that far.\u201d Reaching up, he cupped her face in his hands. \u201cWhy are you crying, Vaughnne?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She sniffed and reached up, swiping the tears from her face. \u201cI\u2019m not.\u201d She lifted her chin and glared at him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course you\u2019re not.\u201d Unable to resist another moment, he lowered his head and pressed his mouth to hers. She tasted of tears and her and he was starved for her. He lifted his head a fraction. \u201cIf you don\u2019t want this, then you better stop me\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her response was to reach for his shirt and strip it off.<\/p>\n<p>If he were any sort of decent, he\u2019d slow this down. Talk to her. He\u2019d be lying if he tried to tell himself he hadn\u2019t come for this. He hadn\u2019t come only for this. He\u2019d wanted to touch her, feel her underneath one more time\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. to take her in a bed and take his time with her.<\/p>\n<p>One night. One night when he didn\u2019t have to worry about all the burdens he\u2019d carried for so long. One night when all that mattered was the two of them.<\/p>\n<p>But Gus had stopped worrying about being decent a long, long time ago. So as his shirt fell to the floor, he reached for the neat little line of buttons marching up the center of her prim white shirt. \u201cYou look so neat and put together, Vaughnne,\u201d he murmured, freeing first one button, then another, watching as he bared one inch of skin at a time. \u201cI\u2019m going to enjoy watching you come apart for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She leaned back against the door, her hands falling to hang loose at her sides. \u201cI\u2019ve been doing that almost since the first second I laid eyes on you, sugar.\u201d A smile curved her wide, sexy mouth, but it didn\u2019t quite reach her eyes, and if he\u2019d let himself look, he knew what he would have seen.<\/p>\n<p>She knew, he realized. Had some idea of just why he was there.<\/p>\n<p>And it just made him that much more of a bastard. But he didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n<p>When he reached the final button, instead of pushing the shirt off her shoulders, he let it hang open, revealing the narrow line of her sleek torso, the lace edging of her bra. He traced one finger down the midline of her body, stopping when he reached the waist of her trousers, the sturdy leather of her holster. Still holding her gaze, he unbuckled it, unbuttoned her trousers.<\/p>\n<p>Vaughnne stood there, silent and watching him with solemn eyes. He leaned in and nipped her lower lip, pressed a kiss to her neck, moving in a line straight downward until he was kneeling in front of her.<\/p>\n<p>She wore a pair of low-heel ankle boots and he tugged them off, setting them neatly by the door. Vaughnne kept a tidy little nest, something he\u2019d noticed when he let himself inside. He wouldn\u2019t leave any sign of himself when he left\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. other than what he was doing to her now. Glancing up at her, he saw her lashes were closed, her head was tipped back, and her hands were braced against the door, curled into tight fists that left her knuckles bloodless.<\/p>\n<p>He wanted her clutching at him that tightly.<\/p>\n<p>Wanted to hear that smart mouth, the cocky attitude that had driven him insane the past few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>But when he tried to reach for the words to say something, anything to tease it out of her, he couldn\u2019t find them. So instead of saying anything, he leaned in and pressed his mouth to her belly as he caught the waist of her trousers and dragged them down over the swell of her hips, her thighs, down until she could step out of the puddle of material.<\/p>\n<p>Rising, he stood in front of her, arms braced on the door by either side of her head, waiting for her to look at him.<\/p>\n<p>Seconds ticked away, and finally, she lifted her lids, staring at him with dark, unreadable eyes.<\/p>\n<p>He opened his mouth, determined to find something to say. Something. Anything. It shouldn\u2019t be this hard to find a handful of words. He\u2019d lived most of his life by them. Glib lies, charming little half-truths\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. all of them said to people who meant less than nothing. And here he stood with a woman who meant everything and he couldn\u2019t find anything to ease the pain he sensed was inside her.<\/p>\n<p>Before he managed to find even one damn thing to say, Vaughnne reached up and laid her hand on his cheek. \u201cTake me to bed, Gus,\u201d she said quietly. \u201cWe can have that one night now, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><\/em>Please note if you wish to get this book in print from your local store, you might want to make sure they pre-order it. \u00a0A lot of stores aren&#8217;t carrying as many of my books in print. \u00a0Thank you!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.laurendane.com\/blog\"> Lauren Dane<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/carisroane.com\/?page_id=645\">Caris Roane<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/elizagayle.net\/blog\" target=\"_blank\">Eliza Gayle<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/lissamatthews.com\/blog\">Lissa Matthews<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/mckennajeffries.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">McKenna Jeffries<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/taigecrenshaw.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\">Taige Crenshaw<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.delilahdevlin.com\/blog\/\">Delilah Devlin<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.helenkaydimon.com\/blog\/\">HelenKay Dimon<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mylajack.blogspot.com\" rel=\"nofollow&quot; target=\">Myla Jackson<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shellistevens.com\/blog\"> Shelli Stevens<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.jodywallace.com\/\">Jody Wallace<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.felicityheaton.co.uk\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">Felicity Heaton<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/LeahBraemel.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\">Leah Braemel<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/maricarr.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mari Carr<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snippets!
