exposed in her lace bra, heaving up and down to the pulse of his own breaths. He wondered if that was the moment she was going to change her mind. If she was going to send a pile of crashing icicles down on them. 
    Then her eyes fell to his lips and he watched her tongue slid across her lower lip before she sucked that full cushioning lower lip between her teeth. He wanted those lips.
    But what if she was done? What if the reality hit her? What if− 
    Violet’s grabbed Ryder’s hardness and his eyes flew back up to hers. She was smirking at him in a devilish way before she claimed his mouth telling him they weren’t finished yet.

    AS VIOLET CAME down from her high, panting, hot, and never remembering a sexual encounter that had ever been that good, the stark reality hit her: she just had sex with Ryder Carlex.
    In a bathroom, at the resort, and down the hall from her ex-husband...who was waiting for both of them. Not to mention Violet’s entire family was on the premises and...and the list of reasons why this was a bad decision went on and on inside her head.
    Oh crap!
    For some unexplainable reason, even though her brain told her to pull away from Ryder and without delay, put distance between them, Violet didn’t want to leave the warmth of his skin. She could feel every single area of her skin that was flesh-on-flesh with his, like jolts of scorching electricity forming at each spot.
    Violet’s elbows rested on his brawny, thick shoulders, as her arms wrapped up around his head, clasping above his hair and forcing his face to tuck deep against her shoulder. The roughness of his five o’clock shadow rubbed against her skin and the coarse touch ignited a want to kiss him again. Her naked middle touched his solid muscle wall and because he’d managed to unfasten the snap on the front her bra, her breasts were pushed so hard against him it felt like they’d molded into one.
    Oh crap! 
    She was late. They were both late. Not to mention, their outfits were going to be wrinkled, looking like they just had...
    She almost gasped out loud at the thought of everyone knowing what had occurred within these four walls, but she knew the sound would pull Ryder away from her and right now she wanted to feel his hair against her cheek, his hands around her back, and his body flanked between her legs.
    Would they look like they’d just had sex? Game face. You just need to get your game face on and no one will know what you just did. 
    Violet would know. Violet had the awakening feeling that she was never going to forget the rendezvous in this bathroom. From this day forward, each time she walked down this hall, between the lobby and her office, and passed this door, she would see Ryder’s naked chest, feel his pounding heart against hers, and remember the feel of his mind-blowing kisses.
    Oh crap!
    Ryder’s breathing was just as heavy as hers and with every breath she took, the wonderful smell of his designer cologne wafted into her nose. 
    Pull away.
    “That was an incredible surprise.” His low, deep voice sent another rumble of desire through her with the inclination to start again from the beginning. 
    Oh no, no, no! Violet, stop it this instant. Pull away. 
    “This is going to be on the higher scale of awkward for the rest of the afternoon.” He was so beyond right, this was going to be sooo awkward.
    What had she been thinking?
    She hadn’t, that was the problem. Everything about today had been carelessly not thought out. She needed a reassessment. 
    His arms weren’t loosening their grip either, and she tried to fight how much she liked that he was as content as she was. She could actually feel one of his fingers swirling a design against her back... and oh it felt good.  
    How had this happened? How had this happened! Why was she not nearly as concerned, worried, or panicked as she should be? Why did she feel like she could spend the rest of the day, right here, wrapped up in his arms?
    “I
