She turned and reached for the car door, opening it. Jace took a step closer, boxing her in.
They both felt it. The attraction between them. Daryl or not, it was still there. It had been buzzing around them all day, and now it was pooling in the air between them.
It didn’t matter about twelve years, it didn’t matter about Daryl, it didn’t matter that they didn’t know enough about each other now to be sure if they even liked each other.
The heat was still there, just like it had always been.
“You need to talk to Ren,” she finally said, her back to him.
With his hand on the frame of her door and the other on the roof of her car, she was, in essence, trapped in his arms. If she turned around, it would almost be like in an embrace.
But she didn’t turn as she continued. “Tell Ren this won’t work. Help him find someone else.”
“Why do I make you so uncomfortable, Tiger Lily? You’re the one who gave me up, remember? And like we said, it was over a decade ago. It shouldn’t matter now.”
She shook her head with a little jerk. “It’ll be easier for both of us if you’re not here.”
“Since when have you or I ever done anything the easy way? We are a good team. You had to have seen that out there today.”
She nodded stiffly. Jace took a step forward, which caused Lillian to turn around. Suddenly all he could see was her mouth.
Cursing himself, he brought his lips down to hers. He couldn’t help himself, it was like being caught in some tractor beam from a science fiction movie.
Her lips were as soft as he remembered. As sweet. Sweeter, if possible.
She held herself stiffly for the first few seconds, as he teased her lips slowly, nibbling at them, but then he felt her give in. She sighed as if she couldn’t fight it, either.
Her fingers slid into his hair, pulling him closer, and a sound of hunger left him, his mouth moving more hungrily on hers, their tongues twining. The attraction and heat pushed at them in waves.
When Jace finally stepped back, they both just stared at each other. Then, without another word, Lily got in her car and started it, pulling away so quickly that if he hadn’t stepped back she might’ve run over his toes. All he could do was watch her drive away.
He muttered a curse under his breath. He’d been sent here to do a job, get more info, find out if Lillian had anything to do with this mole. Not kiss her senseless within the first few hours of his being back in the same general vicinity as her.
He’d counted on his sense of betrayal to help him keep his distance from her. To be able to remain objective and even cold.
Jace should’ve known better. He’d been many things around Lillian Muir, but cold was never one of them.
Seven hours into this mission and already things had become a hell of a lot more complicated.
