what I need so much from you tonight. Stop worrying about the future and go back to thinking only of the present. I'll take care of the future."
    Alyssa accepted the fact that she could no longer think properly at all. Her moment of doubt inspired by common sense had passed with the renewed touch of his hand, and she shuddered against him. How could she deny the magic of those hands? Never had she felt anything like it She could feel the hardness of his aroused manhood pressing insistently against her hip now, felt the rigidity of his body as the passion in him swelled. Her own body responded with a deep, quivering longing that shocked her senses.
    "You see how perfectly we mesh?"Jordanasked whimsically, nudging her head with his hand until Alyssa was once more obliged to glance into the mirrors. She lowered her eyes from the sight of herself entwined so closely in his embrace, but this time she was forced to admit that it hadn't elicited uncertainty.
    Rather, she felt another wave of excitement wash across her. Her nails curled of their own volition into the skin of his shoulders, and when she turned her face back against his chest, her teeth nipped daringly.
    Jordangroaned and slipped his hands down to her buttocks, letting his fingers slide erotically into the cleft between them. "Whoever shuffled the deck tonight knew what he was doing. Everything's coming up aces."
    Alyssa gasped aloud as he used his sensuous hold to lift her a few inches off the floor and force her against the bold demand of his hips. Then her head spun as he carried her that way across the room and set her down onto the red velvet bed.
    When she opened her eyes again, Alyssa found herself once more gazing at the sight of her naked body reflected in a mirror, this time the circular one lining the overhead canopy.
    "Oh, no!"
    Seeing the direction of her gaze,Jordanlooked up and grinned appreciatively. When his eyes found her again, Alyssa knew she was flushing vividly.

She wanted this man in a way she had never known before. Wordlessly, she held open her arms.
    "Alyssa!" He came down to her quickly, gathering her to him. "I want you so!"
    Alyssa forgot about the canopy mirror, forgot about the garish room and the circular bed. She forgot she was with a man she had met only a few hours earlier and about whom she knew almost nothing except that when it came to math, his mind worked rather like her own. All that mattered was that he wanted her and had made her want him with a passion that matched his.

    played the hand fate had dealt her.
    Her body gloried beneath the caresses he administered, shivering and twisting and curling in response.
    Never would she forget his hands, she thought vaguely as he stroked a line of fire up the inside of her thigh. Wonderful, exquisitely aware fingers, full of strength and power, totally unlike those of any other man in the world, she was certain.
    Anxious to please and satisfy in turn, Alyssa explored the contours of his back with her palms, loving the hard feel of him. The muscular planes of his buttocks knew the punishment of her nails, andJordan groaned beneath it. Pushing her firmly onto her back, he found the taut peak of one breast with his tongue and lips.
    Again and again, Alyssa moaned beneath his touch.
    He trailed tantalizing patterns along every inch of her body from ankle to throat and used his knee to open her iegs. Lying half over her in a heavy, passionate sprawl, he whispered incredibly erotic words, words that should have shocked but only served to heighten her own need.
    "Now,Jordan, please, now!" She lifted her hips, inviting him into her as, head tipped back across his cradling arm, she squeezed her eyes tightly shut and
