Read an Excerpt from: WILD FIRE
Who the hell knew Shelby wore underwear like that? As she stepped out of his bathroom, Clay’s gaze moved over the swell of her breasts, the sleek line of her belly to her lean legs.
Still looking surprised by his unexpected appearance, she gave a nervous laugh. “Why are you looking at me that way? I mean, you’ve seen me in a bikini that shows more than this.”
Jerking his attention to her face, he struggled to keep his voice even. “What way?”
“Like … I don’t know,” she said slowly, her left foot rubbing the top of her right.
Tension swelled between them. Her smile faded, replaced by confusion.
Trying to ease the moment, Clay went with the first thing that came to mind. “Where is that darn tattoo?”
Uncertainty flashed across her gamine features, then she arched a brow. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”
Hell, yes. He’d like to find it with his hands. His mouth. It took everything he had to pretend that raw, primal need wasn’t clawing through him. “You know I’m going to find it one of these days.”
He saw her take a deep breath and struggled to keep his gaze on her face. Not that it mattered. The sight of her half-naked would be carved into his brain for the rest of his life.
Of course, he’d noticed her before. She was right — he’d seen her plenty of times in a bathing suit. She was a good-looking woman with a great body. But he’d never felt like this when he’d noticed.
