Free Melting Iron by Laurann Dohner Page B

activate your transmitter in your head and link to the computer to get help? Try, okay? You hit your head on the floor and you were knocked unconscious. You need a medic. If you can’t—”
    She tore her gaze from his, darting her eyes around the room and spotting the fire sensor in the corner of the ceiling. She bit her lip as her mind frantically worked trying to find a solution. It hit her then and she came up with a plan.
    “I could start a fire. That would alert the computer to send responders.” She looked down at him. “That’s what I’ll do, okay? I’m going to have to fuck up the door pad to get access to some live wires but I can make some sparks to make fire. I’ll torch one of your shirts. It won’t spread or anything but it will put off enough smoke to trigger the alarm.” She eased her finger from his wound, focused on it and was relieved when it didn’t start actively bleeding again. She nodded at him. “Just hang on, baby. I’m going to get you the help you need.”
    She moved to get to her feet but Iron’s hand suddenly shot out and grabbed her, his hand wrapping around the back of her neck. She gasped as he pulled her down close to his face, struggling to not tip forward and fall on him as her hands shot out to brace on the floor next to him. He stopped pulling when they were nearly nose-to-nose.
    “Don’t start a fire.”
    “Tell the computer to get you a medic.”
    He licked his lips as he stared into her eyes, studying them. “You care that I am hurt and you want to bring help to me.”
    “Of course I do. Tell the damn computer to get you a medic. Your head is bleeding.”
    He closed his eyes for a second and then opened them again. “I’m fine, Dawn. I ran a scan. I have that ability. I’m functioning normally.”
    “You whacked your head hard and it knocked you out so you’re not fine.”
    He took a deep breath and then his other hand moved, wrapping around her waist. He pulled her on top of his chest. It stunned her as she stared into his eyes a second before he rolled them both, her back ending up against the floor with a big cyborg pinning her flat. He shifted his body, easing down her as he fit his thighs between hers. His long, flowing, bright red hair fell forward over one of his shoulders, pooling on the floor next to her face. She glanced at the beauty of all that glorious, fiery red hair and then she gazed into his eyes. He had her caged under him but his elbows took his weight so he wasn’t crushing her.
    “Iron? What are you doing? Order the computer to summon help.”
    He just stared into her eyes for long seconds before his mouth lowered. Dawn realized his intent a second before his full lips lightly brushed her shocked, parted ones. She closed her eyes instantly and her hands gripped the leather of his shirt at the curve of his shoulders as firm lips pushed hers wider apart before his warm tongue breached her mouth.
    He explored her slowly at first, their tongues gliding against each other but then his kiss grew bold, more dominant, to take charge of the kiss. It was easy for Dawn to get lost in him. Iron might act a bit cold and unfeeling but the way his tongue and mouth possessed her showed her another side of him as the passion flared between them. The sweet melting together of their lips turned into something more frantic as her body ignited with need. She shifted her hands and delved her fingers into his loose hair, holding him closer as she turned her head a little more to align their mouths more firmly.
    Iron pulled back, breaking the kiss. Dawn forced her eyes open to stare up into his gorgeous gaze, unable to miss the same desire she was experiencing mirrored there.
    Iron lifted up, bracing his weight on one hand so he could reach between them. She heard his zipper and lifted her legs, wrapping them around his hips as he freed his cock from his pants. She was wet and ready as he shoved the shirt she wore up to her stomach to get it out of the way. They
