Synopsis:
When you can’t resist the one person who could destroy you…
Sia O’Donnell can’t help but push the limits. She secretly attends every underground MMA fight featuring The Predator, the undisputed champion. When he stalks his prey in the ring, Sia is mesmerized. He is dominant and dangerous and every instinct tells her to run.
Every beautiful thing Ray “The Predator” touches he knows he’ll eventually destroy. Soft, sweet and innocent, Sia is the light to Ray’s darkness-and completely irresistible. From the moment he lays eyes on her, he knows he’s going to have to put his dark past behind him to win her body and soul.
Ray grabs my wrists and pins them to the mat over my head, his body
angled over me. My breath catches in my throat, and I steel myself for the
memories, the black rush, the heart-pounding fear, but it doesn’t come.
Instead, a red haze settles over my vision, and I press my lips together and
buck my hips, throwing him slightly forward.
Bad plan. Now his groin is only inches away from my face. He’s still
wearing his jeans, which means that bulge isn’t a cup.
“Ray...”
His face softens. “I hurt you.”
“Yes, you hurt me. Keeping
secrets hurts me. It makes me feel like you don’t respect me. And it makes me
feel like I can’t trust you. So maybe you could return to your proper seat now.
Tray table up.”
He shifts down, settling his weight over my hips, but he doesn’t release
my hands. “I hurt you. Means you care.”
I swallow hard and meet his gaze. “You hurting me means I was being
stupid. Things were going where I didn’t want them to go. Now I’ve had a
wake-up call. You have secrets you can’t share. You need to protect your
secrets. I need to be with someone I can trust, and I need to stand on my own
two feet. It’s just not going to work between us.”
His gaze darkens, searing me to the core. “You want to be done? Or are
you scared and trying to push me away?”
The air shifts between us, electrifying, tightening my nipples and
heating my blood. I am hyperaware of his thighs tucked against my hips, carrying
most of his weight as he sits astride me in a dominant MMA position. My wrists,
hot under his palms, press against the cool mat, restrained in a way I could
never have imagined allowing them to be restrained. My chest rises and falls
twice for every one of Ray’s breaths, and my core tightens. The innuendo isn’t
lost on me. God, yes. I want to be done in the carnal sense of the word. But
only by Ray. And I don’t really want to let him go.
“I don’t want to lose you.”
Ray’s hands tighten on my wrists, and he leans down and brushes a kiss
over my lips. “I don’t want to lose you either, but I live in a dangerous
world. I’ve got stuff in my life that would make your head spin. I need to
protect you from that, and I’ll do what it takes to keep you safe, even if it
means you hate me for it, because for the first time in my life, I want
something more than doing my duty. I want a life and I want you in it. I’ve got
one bad guy to catch and then I’m free. And after I’m done and after what went
down this evening, you’ll never have to worry about being safe again.”
Finally, he releases my hands but I don’t move. Heat sweeps through my
belly. I feel both vulnerable and curiously safe lying beneath him. My gaze
shifts from his intense gaze to his sensual lips, and my breasts swell,
remembering the touch of his hands, the gentle press of his lips. He wants me.
Not just today, but tomorrow and the tomorrow after that.
“You make it sound like I don’t have a choice about being with you.”
“You don’t.” He leans down and kisses me with a savage fierceness that
takes my breath away.
