brushed an open-mouthed kiss over his navel.
“Jenna,” he hissed, sinking his fingers into her hair.
Her green eyes sparkled mischievously, as she moved his hands away and placed them on the bed beside him. She grinned and went right back to raining kisses over his chest.
Aidan fisted the sheets to keep from reaching for her again. His swollen shaft ached as her lips skirted around it, teasing him, tormenting him. She was trying to destroy him.
Her curls caressed his thighs and Aidan trembled. Jenna’s blunt nails dug into his legs as she pushed them apart and positioned her body between them. She looked at him once more from beneath her long lashes. Their gazes locked and embers burst into flames.
Jenna lowered her head. Her lips drew closer and closer to the place he needed them most. Aidan’s shaft bounced against his belly. He stared, transfixed by the sight of her and held his breath. Jenna’s lips parted and she... chirped .
Aidan was too far gone to care. “Please don’t stop,” he begged, his desperation dire.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Aidan frowned. What the hell? Why was she making that sound? Strike that—how was she making that sound?
Her breath brushed over him and he shuddered. Forget about the noise. Aidan wasn’t going to let anything interrupt this moment. He was too close.
Chirp!
The sound was louder now. More insistent. Aidan squeezed his eyes closed, willing it to go away. When he opened them again, Jenna was gone.
“No!” He shot straight up in bed.
Sunlight poured into the room, temporarily blinding him. Chirp! Chirp! His gaze strayed to the alarm on the table.
Aidan closed his eyes and groaned. He hit the snooze button and fell back onto the bed, his body hot, hard, and trembling with need.
A dream.
It had all been a dream.
Disappointment hollowed his chest, leaving behind a soul-deep yearning he could no longer ignore.

Jenna didn’t have to be into work until the afternoon, which was a good thing considering how fitfully she’d slept. Every time she’d tried to close her eyes, she’d seen Aidan’s naked body. The image had been burned into her retinas.
In the moments she’d managed to catch some sleep, the dreams had taken over. Vivid, active, and so intense that they’d felt real. He’d felt real. She and Aidan had devoured each other, their bodies twining like boa constrictors in the middle of a mating frenzy.
Jenna threw back the covers and climbed out of bed. She might as well get some work done on the car, since there was no way she was going back to sleep. At this point, she didn’t dare close her eyes.
She showered quickly; making good use of the adjustable massage head, then went to the garage. Her body still ached, despite the orgasm, but at least she’d taken some of the edge off. Jenna had had to do something, before she faced Aidan again.
The garage was empty when she arrived. It didn’t take long to realize that her beloved Bug needed several new parts in order to run properly. Parts that weren’t available in the garage. Parts that cost money. Money she didn’t have. Wouldn’t have, unless she could get an interview with Aidan.
She was still under the bonnet, where she’d been for an hour, when Nic and Bernie arrived. “Morning guys.” She peered beyond them. “Where’s Josh?”
“He drove into the city last night to pick up more parts. Should be back later this afternoon,” Bernie said.
Nic stared at her face and frowned. No doubt noticing the circles under her eyes. “You’re up early,” he said.
“Couldn’t sleep. The wolves kept me up,” she lied.
It hadn’t been the wolves occupying her thoughts, but she wasn’t about to tell them that she’d dreamt about their boss.
Both men froze and exchanged an odd glance. Bernie recovered first. “You should stay away from the monsters in the woods. They’re dangerous. Every child familiar with Little Red Riding Hood knows that.”
Was he kidding? Jenna
