his
fingers until their eyes met.
    And held.
    “ You want something that I
can give you, and in return, I want something from you,” he
explained, his voice low and calm, the opposite of everything
churning within her as he stood so very close.
    “ And what do you want?”
McKenna asked, trying to eliminate the tremble in her
voice.
    “ You.”
    It was then that the room
faded, the only thing McKenna noticed was the warmth of Tag’s chest
against her breasts, the rigid length of his erection pressing
intimately between her thighs, the sultry, intoxicating scent that
was so unique to him, and the mesmerizing heat swirling in his
green eyes.
    The answer should’ve been
easy. The exclusive would likely launch Sensations, Inc. into
another dimension, and the passion in Tag’s beautiful eyes promised
so many things McKenna wrote about for her readers benefit. Now she
had the opportunity to experience them with Tag.
    Even with the experience
she had in the lifestyle, she was still hesitant.
    Promiscuous, McKenna
wasn’t. Prone to heartache... that was more like it. In fact, she
knew that this wild ride Tag would take her on would likely result
in another devastating broken heart because she couldn’t resist
being pulled into his orbit.
    There was no doubt about it – McKenna
wouldn’t survive this with her heart intact.

    Tag had been hell bent on
walking into McKenna’s office, handing her the contract and all but
throwing her down on the desk and fucking her blind. But standing
here, so close to her, inhaling her sweet, fresh scent and watching
the confusion linger in her exotically beautiful eyes had him
pausing.
    For a woman who exuded such confidence, such
drive, he felt the tension course through her veins as easily as he
felt the warmth of her body pressed into his. She wasn’t pushing
him away, but she might as well have been by the way she looked at
him.
    Uncertainty.
    That’s what he saw when he
looked at her. And that dark, possessive beast that lurked just
beneath the surface roared loudly, insisting that this was one
opportunity he’d been searching for. The chance he couldn’t let
pass him by. Because no matter what happened a week from now, Tag
had the next seven days to show this woman exactly how hot the fire
between them could be stoked.
    “ Say yes, McKenna.” His
fingers lightly brushed down the soft, smooth skin of her jaw, then
trailing the long, sleek column of her neck, soaking up the baby
soft feel of her skin.
    He wanted to put his mouth there; to kiss a
path over her warm, fragrant skin as he removed every stitch of her
clothing until she stood before him completely vulnerable.
    “ One week, that’s all I
ask.” He couldn’t resist trying to persuade her. Honestly, he
thought convincing her would be the easy part, but Tag was
beginning to realize there wasn’t anything easy about McKenna
Thorne.
    “ One week. It’s that
simple?” she asked, her eyes still locked with his.
    Simple? Tag knew this would be anything but simple. Yet,
he needed her to say yes.
    He slid his finger back up
the long, perfect column of her neck until he reached the bottom of
her chin, and he tilted her head just slightly, offering him better
access to those soft pink lips that beckoned him. Ensuring she knew
what he was after, Tag glanced down at her lips, then back to her
eyes. When her tongue darted out, swiping over her bottom lip
before she pulled it in between her teeth, he groaned.
    And then he kissed her.
    Only this wasn’t a
regular, run of the mill kiss. This was passion and fury laced with
carnal desires as their mouths met and sought everything the other
was willing to give.
    McKenna’s arms came up to
circle around his neck and Tag pulled her closer, lifting her
easily off of the floor and sitting her gently on the desk behind
her. Cupping her cheeks, he held her mouth to his, ensuring she
wouldn’t get away, although she was kissing him back, seemingly
just as invested in this
