the elusive high that was dangling out of her reach. Arms of smooth
steel tightened around her. His low grumble of pleasure was lost as he took
control.
    Then he pulled back. “You have no idea how much I want you.” His eyes blazed with an emotion that touched the core of her soul. She moaned
from its fierceness but welcomed it. He swept her up into his arms, strolled
from the library and she didn’t resist.
    Her heart beating wildly, she surrendered her head into the curve of his shoulder, not knowing or caring why it felt so right. Fire nipped through her veins and she didn’t want to put it out.
    He climbed the stairs to the bedroom as if she weighed nothing. Amazed at the strength of his arms and how carefully he held her to his chest, she felt dizzy and reckless.
    The double doors to the room were slightly open, beckoning
them to enter. He used his foot to kick the door wider, walked to the
king-size bed and laid her upon it as if she was a precious commodity. He drew
back and straightened to his full height.
    She sat up on her arms and returned his gaze. For a fleeting
second, doubt crossed her mind but it disappeared as quickly as it came. Time
only existed in the here and now. Her eyes drank him like spring water drawn
from a well.
    His eyes never left her as he removed his outer garments, shirt,
tie and jacket and then hers and dropped them carelessly to the floor. With a
heart beating fast with anticipation and also apprehension, her eyes roamed his
muscled and toned body.
    He leaned forward and placed a hand alongside her head and
used the other one to slide gently up and down her thigh in a sensuous, light
movement that made her feel boneless.
    A small uneasiness crossed her mind that if her life depended on it she wouldn’t want him to stop. Was this a dream? She floated outside of her body in a wave of pleasure not caring about ramifications or what the night may bring.
    In a rough almost unrecognizable tone, he said, “You need to
tell me now, Nicole, if you don’t want this. If not, we won’t go any further.”
    She blinked at the strange sensation of wanting him. Nicole
waited for the panic come but when it didn’t, she resolved to experience what
her body was craving. She lifted a hand and tentatively laid it on his cheek.
    “You and me, it’s foreign. This shouldn’t be happening.”
    He lifted away from her.
    She stopped him. “No, don’t.”
    “I want you to be sure. There’ll be no turning back for us.”
    She waited a moment not understanding what he meant but decided not to examine it.. She looked directly into his eyes. “I won’t regret this. I’m not afraid. I don’t know why and I don’t care but I know that at this moment I want you.”
    He planted a soft kiss in the palm of her hand. “There’ll be
no shadows or doubts between us tonight. I’ll never intentionally hurt you. When
morning comes, there will be no regrets.”
    She offered a tiny smile. “Morning? Will it take that long?”
    “That and then some. It’ll be good for you…for both of us. I’ll make damn sure of it.”
    She shook her head silently communicating she knew this thing that was happening between them was only for the moment, for tonight. She didn’t want his promises. “I’m not that naive. The first time is not enjoyable. I know it’s just sex.”
    His cool blue gaze held hers. “I would never have just sex
with you, Nicole. This is so much more…so much.” He gathered her in his arms
and proceeded to show her just how much more it was. His kiss was gentle, then
hard and fierce and she met him with every bit of intensity. Fireworks exploded
along her skin with fast precision creating an avalanche of a fierce burn that
threatened to consume her.
    He lifted her; slowly insert a finger in her core. She
groaned at the sensation and locked her arms around his neck, pulling him
closer. She blindly sought his mouth. He groaned and let her take control of
the kiss.
    Nicole moaned.
