Katherine Garbera - Deadly Desire

“It’s nothing. Just a flesh wound,” he said, moving out of her reach when she tried to check it out.

“We’re in the jungle. A flesh wound—”

“I know it could mean death. I put some antiseptic on it.”

“Let me see it,” she said. He stood still. She had to step very close so that each breath he exhaled brushed her face. He smelled of sweat and mint. She hadn’t been this close to a man in a long time. In fact, Raul had been the last man.

It had taken her a long time to get over him. Not because she’d been mooning or anything like that. But because she’d felt, of all the men she’d dated, Raul was the one she could have gone the distance with. They’d both shared so much. Work and career, similar outlooks on life and of course white-hot passion.

Mac stared at her and she realized she was just looking at him. Carefully she probed around the cut with her fingers. He didn’t flinch, and she saw that the wound had started to close.

She went up on tiptoe for a better look.

“Going to kiss it and make it better?” he asked. His lips brushed the side of her cheek when he spoke.

Shivers spread down her body from the warmth of his breath against her skin. Maybe it was the fact that she didn’t trust him or maybe it was just some sort of animal magnetism that he possessed. But whatever it was, he made her very aware of needs she’d ignored for too long now.

He was trying to rattle her. She knew it and he knew it. But Jane had been holding her own against hard-ass men her entire life. And it took a lot more than intimidation to scare her.

Jane put her shoulders back and stood a little taller. It helped that she’d spent a lifetime getting to know herself so well, because she had utter confidence in her ability to do what she’d come to the Amazon basin to do. Her nature wouldn’t let her accept failure.

“Maybe it’s worse than you think and I’ll have to put you out of your misery.”
