begged for him.
    He caught one of her wrists, urging her hand down his flat stomach to the waiting hardness of him,
    "Take me, sweetheart. Take me in your soft hand and lead me."
    She knew what he was asking; no, demanding. He wanted her to somehow acknowledge that she was a willing player in this dangerous game.Jordanwas insisting now that she participate to the fullest Was he also asking for reassurance? Some final proof that she was as eager and receptive as her body implied?
    Whatever the reasons, Alyssa was beyond analyzing them. Her fingers obeyed his husky instructions, thrilling to the feel of him in her hand. Gently, a little timidly, she invited him to follow where she led.
    "Oh, God, Alyssa!"
    Whatever his intentions,Jordanwas unable to play the cards as slowly and tantalizingly as Alyssa sensed he had wanted to do. When her thighs parted, lifting to meet him, he seemed to lose his control. Instead of allowing her to finish her task, he shifted his weight with sudden emphasis, storming her body.
    "Sweetheart!"
    "Jordan!" His name came in a breathless gasp as he took charge of the hand fate had dealt He wrapped her tightly against him, surging into her softness and leaving her no option but to respond. Alyssa knew in that moment that although their meeting might have been a matter of chance, Jordan Kyle had no intention of ever letting her forget it. He imprinted his body on hers with all the male power at his command.
    He had been every inch the gentleman earlier in the evening, but now there was no gentlemanly attempt to ease the impact of his weight on her body.Jordanmade no pretense of using his arms to support himself partially. It was as if he intended she should remember everything about him, including the way his hard frame crushed her luxuriously into the red velvet bedspread.
    Her head spinning like a roulette wheel, Alyssa gave herself up completely to the passion of the moment.

    She clung to the rnan above her, legs wrapped tightly around his lean hips, her arms around his neck. It was as ifJordanwere a dealer who spun the cards out much too fast. There was no opportunity to keep track of them or to figure the odds as the deck was played out All she could do was accept each new one as it came.
    And then she suddenly found herself holding too many cards. There was an unbearable moment of tension, and then the whole pack seemed to explode around her. Her body rippled inJordan's arms, convulsing in a way that brought a hoarse shout of satisfaction from his own lips. A few seconds later, he was joining her in the release.
    Down she tumbled in his arms, dazed and awed at the result of the gamble she had taken. Never had she known anything like this. Never had she known a man who could bring her so fully alive to the bounty of her own senses. For long moments, she lay still, enjoying the feel of his relaxed body lying along hers, knowing a purely feminine satisfaction in having pleased him.
    Then she made the mistake of opening her eyes.
    "Oh, lord!"
    "What's wrong, honey?" Reluctantly,Jordanlifted his head from the comfortable place he had discovered for himself on her breast. Framing her head between his arms he looked down at her, an expression of drowsy contentment in his golden eyes. He used his forefinger to smooth aside a tendril of tangled auburn hair.
    "Nothing," she said, grimacing wryly. "Just don't look up."
    Her body, lying tangled with his on the red velvet spread, was clearly reflected in the canopy mirror.
    After one glimpse, Alyssa refused to look up again. In that one glance, she had seen herself as another woman altogether. A sensuous, rather reckless, totally satisfied female lying trapped beneath the hard male body that had brought her such satisfaction. She looked, Alyssa realized belatedly, exactly as a mysterious lady gambler would took after meeting her equally mysterious male counterpart.
    It was just that
