Excerpt:

Rafe angled her chair around till they faced each other  
and he had one knee on either side of her. "You don't  
trust me, Callie. Now just why exactly is that?"  

Callie averted her gaze.  

   His free hand snaked between them. Thumb and  

fore- finger pinched her chin, turning her face back around to  
his. "I expect an honest answer now."  

Eyes steely, chin thrust forward, Callie met his gaze.  

Her skin burned every place Rafe held her; "I don't trust  
any man."  

She expected him to release her like a hot rock.  

Instead, he took his time about it. Slowly his fingers  
uncurled from around her wrist. Slower yet the fingers  
imprisoning her face gentled, till their touch bordered on  
a caress. "Why's that?"  

     Feeling her hands tremble slightly, she knotted them  
in her lap, away from his gaze. "Never met a man yet who  
gave me any reason to trust him. Including my pa and my  
older brother."  

     "I see." Rafe sat back in his chair and crossed his arms  
over his chest. "In that case, apology accepted." He  
extended his right hand toward her, leaving Callie little  
choice but to slide her hand inside his. She was conscious  
of the warmth of his skin, the callused, leathery feel of his  
palm and fingertips. The sensations chased clear up her  
arm in the most unsettling of ways.  

He didn't let her go right away. Instead, he raised her  
hand to his lips and pressed a kiss on the spot where he'd  
removed the sliver. Then he did something that caught  
Callie totally off guard. He guided her wounded thumb  
slowly to outline the contour of his lips, bottom and top.     

 Callie felt as if melted wax spilled through her limbs in  
a heated rush. Opening his lips, he pulled  

her thumb just inside the hot moist cavity of his mouth and  

gave a slow gentle suck that she felt clear down to her toes.  

"Since you don't trust me, anyway," Rafe said, his  
breath touching her forehead like steam rising from hot  
water. "I guess it won't make much difference if I kiss  
you."  

"Don't." The word barely escaped from the tightened  
muscles of her throat.  

With one finger beneath her chin he tilted her face up  
toward his. "Any woman smells this good, she needs kissing  
if only as a thank you from the lucky man close  
enough to notice. "  

Callie trembled clear down inside her boots as he lowered 
his head to hers.
