His eyes darken with arousal, and he leans into me. “Fuck, honey, I’m not going to want to stop.”
I look at the clock on the wall and then back to Jack. “Two minutes.”
He puts his hands on each side of my face, tilts my head back, and looks at me. “You sure?” he asks huskily.
I try to nod, but he’s holding me so tightly I can barely move my head.
“Words, Emily. I need to hear the words.”
“Yes, I’m sure. I want you to kiss me,” I tell him without hesitation.
He leans down and presses his lips to mine. Instantly, I know I’m never going to be the same. A warmth flows through my whole body. He pulls me from my chair and settles me on his lap. His hard manhood presses against my hip, and I grind into him. His arms are wrapped around me, and he holds me so tightly I can barely breathe. His mouth fits over my lips, and when his tongue slides along mine, I whimper.
He pulls back and leans his forehead against mine. We’re both breathing heavily, and when he leans back to look at me, his eyes are dilated, his nostrils are flared, and he looks like a man on the edge. His voice is husky. “Baby, if we don’t stop now, I’m going to throw you over my shoulder and carry you out of here.”
Bradley’s voice carries in the hall as he talks to another guard, letting us know he’s almost back. I pull from Jack’s arms and move back over to my chair. I lean over my desk, speechless.
“Breathe, honey. He’s coming in.”
I nod and start reading from the file again. I don’t even know what I’m reading, but I keep talking until Bradley stops in front of us. He sets the folder down on the desk, and I look up him. “Thank you, Bradley.”
“Sure thing, honey.”
Jack growls next to me, and I tense. Surely he’s not jealous of Bradley. I force a smile to my face. “We will just be a few more minutes.”
Bradley looks between me and Jack. “Okay, I’ll be right outside the door.”
He waits for my nod and then walks out of the room. It’s not until he’s gone that I let out the breath I’ve been holding. Jack puts his hand on my thigh and squeezes. “Em… how am I supposed to walk out of here and leave you?”
I turn in my seat to look at him. “Don’t do anything stupid, Jack. This is your chance to get out of here. I know you’re trying to figure out how to stay, but you can’t do that.”
He looks at me intently. “Then quit. Or I’m going to do what I have to do to stay in here with you, Emily.”
I slap my hand on the desk. “You can’t ruin your future—”
He cuts me off and blurts, “I was sentenced to twenty years for killing a man. I’d say I’ve already ruined my future.”
I steel my voice. There’s no way I’m letting him throw away his second chance on me. I’m not sure who is more surprised when I blurt out, “You’re getting out of here, Jack. Don’t you dare fuck it up!”
He stands up and taps the desk. “Then quit.”
I stand up and put a hand on his arm. “I can’t just quit.”
He grits his teeth. “And I can’t just walk away and leave you here.”
Wanting to buy time, I nod my head. “Fine. I’ll talk to the warden this week about beefing up security.”
He growls, and I hold my hand up. I’m not sure what I’m thinking letting this man, this inmate, try to tell me what to do, but the truth is I am feeling uneasy about being here without him. “Jack, I’m not just quitting on these people.”
He nods. “Okay.”
He gave in too easily. I may have only known him for six months, but I know that he gave in too easily. I tilt my head to the side. “Jack, you can’t…”
He cups my chin in his hand. I should be worried about someone seeing us, but I’m not. He presses his thumb to my lip and gently strokes it side to side. “You want to stay working here, I’ll make sure you’re protected, but you call me if you need me. See you soon, Emily Riles.”
He drops his hand and walks away without another glance. I almost call out to him, but I stop myself. No matter how much I want him, we’re too different. Nothing can ever come of us, and that’s the only reason I let him go.
I fall back into my seat and shake my head. Jack Felon is a murderer, a member of a motorcycle club, a tattoo artist… and the most dangerous man I’ve ever wanted.
CHAPTER 5
FELON
No matter how hard I try, I can’t get Emily out of my head. I’m thinking about her non-stop, and the longer I’m unable to see her, the shittier my mood gets. My first day at Heat & Ink and I’ve managed to piss off anyone and everyone. Alice has thrown her hands up at me, Gunner has already threatened to kick my ass, and I’m pretty sure Boss is ready to fire me.
