Dev gave her a speculative look and she felt the thrill of exhilaration.

What were the consequences of seducing your husband? She didn’t know. Dev had been the enemy for so long. For months she’d felt like she had to hide from him. Protect herself from her husband. But now she knew the truth. He didn’t take control over her life to punish her. He cared about her. At one time he may have loved her.

But he was still dangerous. He made her want things that weren’t good for her. He clouded her mind with desire and made her believe in love and forever. She wanted to stay with him, stay as his wife, even if it meant giving up everything. Her freedom. Her peace of mind.

“I want to help you,” Tina told him. And it was the truth. She wanted him to have everything he desired. She moved to set the plate in the sink, her body straining, and she felt Dev’s gaze linger on her high, full breasts.

Tina slowly straightened as the sexual power pulsed through her. She gently swayed her hips to the music playing on the TV. Dev seemed mesmerized. She knew she had him caught and a dangerous thrill zipped through her veins.

Dev was very still. Her stomach clenched when she saw the glint in his dark eyes. She shouldn’t tease a man like this.

“I have the power to make your dreams come true. If you let me.” Her words were rushed as excitement coiled tightly around her chest.

She saw his harsh features tighten with desire. The air between them crackled. Now it was time to make her move.

“It’s been a long night. I’m going to bed. Are you going to join me?” she asked innocently. Her legs shook slightly as she took a step closer. She forced herself to remain still as her leg bumped against his.

He leaned forward and she found it hard to breathe. Her heart was pounding in her ears and her legs shook. An electric current sparked inside her, pressing just under her skin as he grasped the edge of her short dress.

“Are you inviting me?” he asked. His big hand brushed along her thigh.

“Yes-s-s.” Now she was a little afraid that he was going to accept her proposition. Scared, because this night with Dev would change everything. She was sharing his bed not because she had to, but because she wanted to.

Dev didn’t remove his hand. She felt his fingers flex and she knew he wasn’t as unaffected as he appeared.

A quivering tension wrapped around them. She knew Dev was tempted to bunch her dress in his fists and strip her bare. And she wanted him to do it.

Dev slowly moved closer, as if waiting for her to change her mind. To run and hide. Tina’s anticipation was thick and heavy. She felt as if she would burst out of her skin.

Tina raised her head, jutting her chin as he towered over her. He stood so close that she could feel his body heat and inhale the faint scent of his cologne.

He lowered his head and kissed her. Dev gently explored her lips but she sensed he wanted to claim her mouth. Claim her. He wanted to capture her and press her against him.

She wanted more, too. His soft kisses teased her. Her pulse raced and her skin tingled with need. Tina parted her lips as she stepped closer into his embrace.

Dev gave an appreciative moan as he dipped his tongue past her lips. Her kisses grew urgent as her heart pounded against her chest. Her breath hitched when his large hands skimmed her bare skin.

Tina pulled away. Her lips felt swollen and she wanted to burst out of her tight, hot skin. She looked up at Dev and took a step back.

Dev looked fierce. His touch might have been gentle but he couldn’t hide the male aggression that darkened his eyes and pulled at his harsh features. His chest rose and fell with each uneven breath.

And he still didn’t grab for her. No matter how much he wanted to. He was allowing her to set the pace.

Her gaze held his. He looked hopeful. Uncertain. Tina reached for his hand. His fingers imprisoned hers. As if he was afraid to let go.

“Come with me,” she said in a whisper and guided him out of the kitchen.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

AS SHE FLATTENED her hand against the closed door of the bedroom, Tina paused. Was she ready for this?

Dev pulled his hand away and braced his hands on her hips. She closed her eyes and shivered as his breath warmed her neck. She was unprepared for Dev to span his hands against her waist. Tina gasped as he slid his fingers along her rib cage before cupping her breasts.

She sagged against him as the wicked sensations slammed into her. Her breasts were full and heavy. Her nipples tightened painfully. Tina arched into Dev’s hands as he tugged down her strapless dress.

Dev’s groan vibrated against her neck as he caressed her bare breasts. Her legs trembled when he pinched her nipples. Pleasure, hot and piercing, forked through her. She let out a high cry as a dew of sweat bathed her skin.
