.Jessie couldn t move.She was so sated she didn t know if her body was flesh andbone anymore or pudding.Justice s body kept her from sliding off the edge of the bedto collapse into a limp mess on the floor since her legs wouldn t have held her up foranything.They panted, his teeth eased away and hot breath fanned her skin while theyrecovered.It was apparent that he kept his weight from totally crushing her, allowingher to catch her breath.The haze of sexual bliss cleared, normal function returned and she grinned, wishingshe could see his face.She said the first thing that came to mind. That was a fifteen onthe one-to-ten-wow-factor scale. I m so sorry, Jessie.I never meant to lose control.You re so small but I wanted youto the point that I couldn t think.Can you forgive me?She laughed. You re apologizing to me? Seriously? There s nothing to forgive.She turned her head just enough to meet his concerned gaze and kept the smile in place. That was perfect, amazing and wonderful.He broke eye contact, lowered his face and brushed a kiss on the back of her neck. You are delicate and just don t seem to know it.I could have really caused damage toyour body. I m small, I can t dispute that, but your version of thoughtlessness was mindblowing.Justice breathed on her neck, keeping his face where she couldn t see it.

I don t need a doctor.You re making too much out of this. She wanted to laughagain at his overblown concern it bordered on ridiculous but she didn t want to riskhurting his feelings.It touched her deeply that he d be so anxious over her well-being.A growl rumbled from his chest.

I don t know what is wrong with me when itcomes to you.I m not myself.Jessie rolled over to stare up at him, admiring the view of tan, tall and sexy.She justknew the sight of his sculptured muscles and strong build would always affect her. Maybe that s the problem.You took on this big responsibility of becoming the faceof New Species. She sat up, comfortable in her nakedness and peered at him withcompassion. I know what it s like to pretend to be someone you re not.My father is asenator.I was raised around politicians and other idiots and had to don this perfectimage my father demanded. She shrugged. The truth is, I m not really that polite.I ma tomboy more than a lady and what I really wanted to do was smack most of thepeople I was forced to carry on polite conversations with.97Laurann DohnerJustice sat down on the edge of the bed, turned his body sideways, and watchedher, a little confused. I don t understand. You stand before those cameras, the reporters, and the world pretending to betotally human but you re not.You can just be yourself with me, Justice.I accept you forwho and what you are.You re the guy who purrs and growls, gets a little out of controlwhen we kiss and there s nothing wrong with that. She pushed forward, her handsflattened on the bed and she rose to her knees.Her gaze held his as she tried to showhim she meant every word. There s nothing wrong with you, Justice North.I thinkyou re amazing and I don t want you holding back with me.I want to get to know thereal you, not some image you ve tried to perfect for your job.You re off the clock andit s playtime.I m going to teach you how to have fun and tear down those walls you vebuilt.I m safe, Justice.Justice wanted to reach out, pull Jessie into his arms and hold her.She offered himacceptance, understanding and the opportunity to be the male he d been before he dvolunteered to represent his people.Longing gripped him to the point of pain and heknew in that instant what had to be done.A sharp jab stabbed his heart but he d made apromise, sworn to do the job and too many were counting on him for him to follow hisheart.Clarity hurt more.He was falling in love with Jessie Dupree, probably had beensince the moment he d torn her from the arms of another male, shielded her with hisbody and she d smiled.She believed she embodied safety to him but she couldn t bemore wrong.The adorable redhead with her quick smile, generous heart andwelcoming arms had to be the most dangerous yet beautiful temptation that had evercrossed his path. Are you hungry? Did you eat?
