not. If she was trying to get a rise out of him, she was succeeding.
    "Don't tempt me,
kid
."
    She snorted and started to close the door. "Whatever."
    Jamie reacted on instinct and grabbed the side of the door to prevent it from closing. A look of shock flashed across her pretty face. When she licked her pouty lips, he realized she wasn't scared by his aggressive move but turned on by it. That little bit of knowledge momentarily stunned him. Dirty thoughts raced through his mind. Could he act on them? Better yet—should he act on them?
    His baser impulses won. For so long now, he'd denied himself the soft flesh of a woman. He'd suppressed his need for sex and comfort while dealing with the pain of his personal life imploding. It hadn't been easy on his ego to watch his wife with a newer, younger man.
    But now a young woman, younger even than the swinging dick who had stolen his ex-wife, displayed interest in him. Lust ignited low in his belly. Throwing caution to the wind, he stepped into the apartment and slid his arm around her waist. She sucked in a surprised breath and jumped in his arms when he kicked the door closed behind him. Jamie smashed his mouth to hers in a passionate, possessive kiss.
    She mewled like a kitten but didn't try to tug free. He stabbed his tongue between her lips. The taste of something sweet with just a hint of lime exploded on his taste buds. Cherry limeade, he realized suddenly, and it tasted heavenly.
    He plundered her willing mouth and let his hands ride the subtle curves of her petite frame. Her small breasts pressed against his chest. He grabbed her ass cheeks and gave them a squeeze. She whimpered and wound her arms around his neck. On tiptoes now, she nipped at his lower lip and sucked it gently. He growled against her mouth and wondered just how fast he could get her out of those tiny shorts and on her back.
    She put both hands on his chest and shoved him back toward the door. Panting and trembling, they stared at one another. Finally, she spoke. "Are you married, Jamie?"
    He blinked. "You remembered my name?"
    "Of course." She quirked a smile. "Why? Did you forget mine?"
    He started to admit that he had but then it hit him. "No,
Corrie
, I didn't. And, no," he added carefully. "I'm not married. Not anymore."
    She nodded slowly. "Okay."
    "Why?"
    "I don't sleep with married men."
    She spoke with a lot of conviction. He'd always been good at reading people and her issues were coming through loud and clear. He sensed she'd had a personal betrayal in that department, probably her father stepping out on her mother. Not wanting to delve into a subject that deep, he joked, "Neither do I."
    "Good to know." She smiled and held out her hand. "My bedroom is this way."
    He eyed her couch, the brown leather worn and soft. "I don't think we're going to make it that far."
    He snatched her by the waist and hauled her tight to his chest. She flushed with excitement and he claimed her mouth again in a sensual kiss. His hands slid under her shirt to feel her soft skin. He cupped her breasts and brushed his thumbs over her hard nipples. She gasped against his jaw when he pinched them and lightly rolled them between his fingertips.
    He watched her face and noted her excitement. So she liked having her nipples tormented? Maybe his naughty neighbor had a hidden kinky side. If so, this night could get interesting…

CHAPTER TWO
     
    He grasped her hand and tugged her over to the couch. Hot on his heels, she trailed him across the open living and dining area. When he sat down on the edge of the couch, he spread his thighs just enough and then yanked her face down across his lap. He caught her off-guard and managed to put her into position before she'd even realized what had happened.
    "What are you doing?" She twisted on his lap but he put his forearm across her upper back, clamping her in place. "Hey! Let me up!"
    "No." Jamie enjoyed the way she wriggled and fought him. "I'm taking you up on that
