“Of course it does. In fact, right now, that’s all that matters to me,” he said, his voice like warmed honey sliding over her. “Put me on your list, Tessa.”

Her attention snapped upward. List? “What? How do you know about—?”

“Your friend, Sam, let it slip when I tried to find you to see if you were okay,” he said, as if it was totally normal that he’d sought out her best friend to track her down.

Humiliation washed through Tessa, and she made a mental note to kill her best friend. Headstone: Samantha Dunbar, death by TMI.

“So what item did I check off for you?”

She put a hand to her forehead. Jesus. This is not happening. “We are so not talking about this.”

“Oh, we so are.” He nudged her with his knee, his whole demeanor switching to playful mode. “I’m dying to know. Was it seduce a stranger?”

She snorted. “Hello, you seduced me. I was minding my own business, thank you very much.”

He grinned. “Okay, I’ll grant you that. So, let’s see, was it, have a one-night stand? Do something kinky?”

She groaned. “You’re not going to give up, are you?”

“Nope.”

“Fine, my list has things on it I want to improve. One of them was what my ex said to me about being bad in bed.”

Kade’s expression instantly darkened. “Your ex obviously had no idea what to do with you.”

“Probably not.”

“No probably about it.” Kade hooked both his ankles around the legs of her chair and dragged her and the chair forward until she was braced between his knees. He laid his hands over hers on the arms of the chair and leaned into her space, his expression full of temptation and illicit intention. “I do know what to do with you, to you. Give me a chance to show you, Tessa.”

She stared back at him, captured in the spell he was weaving around them, her body warring with her common sense. Everything about Kade called to her—his voice, his smile, the way he looked at her as if she were the most decadent meal of his life. He was temptation wrapped up in an unfairly sexy package, like a tropical vacation to her midwinter life.

“You don’t understand. My life is all kinds of complicated right now. I’m juggling so much already—a new town, night school, trying to find a career, my list. And now with this job it’s going to increase a hundred fold. I don’t have the ability to add one more potentially complicated thing.”

His gaze softened. “It doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, I can make it exceptionally uncomplicated.”

“Sex is always complicated,” she replied, but there was no punch in her protest.

“No, sex is complex. Relationships are complicated. Friday night was as simple and straightforward as it gets.”

She lifted an eyebrow. “You call that simple? That was like a three-ring circus compared to my former sex life.”

“This further proves how neglected and sheltered you’ve been,” he said, his tone full of graveness but humor crinkling the corners of his eyes. “I can show you complex. Complex, kinky, deviant. Pick your poison.”

She smiled, remembering his words from the other night. I’m a kinky fucker. “Sounds like I’d need to create a whole new page of the list to cover all that.”

He leaned back to grab something on his desk and then reached for her hand. Before she could figure out what he was doing, he stamped the top of her hand.
