IN DARKNESS REBORN Alexis Morgan Barak wrapped her in his arms, his mouth crushing down on hers, a warrior claiming his prize. His kiss gentled, exploring her mouth leisurely, content to let the heat build at its own pace. Lacey teased his tongue with her own, smiling when he groaned with deep pleasure. She wanted him to take her right then, right there on the lab counter. It was crazy and risky, and she didn’t care. But when she reached for the buttons on his shirt, he stilled her hands. His breathing was ragged. “Lacey, we can’t, not here.” He was right, but that didn’t make it easy to hear. But then he said, “But before we go any farther down this path, you have to make sure this is what you really want. I won’t take a lover who is embarrassed to be seen with me in public or who only takes me to her bed when she’s sure that no one will know.” His words cut through to her heart, hurting her even though his intention was to protect them both. He was right. Kissing him in a fit of temper or even to offer comfort was one thing. Letting everyone in the organization—not to mention her brother and the rest of the Paladins—know that she’d invited their enemy into her bed would be a disaster. He must have read her answer in her eyes because he stepped away, giving her one more measuring look as he left the lab, letting the door swing shut behind him. She’d done the right thing; she knew that for a fact. But then why did it hurt so much? “Great sexual tension and action—I love these hunky, heroic guys!” —Katherine Stone Also by Alexis Morgan Dark Defender Dark Protector In Darkness Reborn Alexis Morgan Poc ket Star Boo ks A Divis ion of Sim on & Schu ster, Inc. 123 0 Ave nue of the Ame ricas , New Yor k, NY 100 20 This book is a work of fiction.
