His stare pinned her and she remained rooted to the spot like a cornered
hare.
He lowered his head. She felt her eyes widening. Her heart beat harder
and harder, deafening thunder in her ears.
He put his mouth to hers.
She couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. Couldn’t make a move.
Oh, God. Oh, God save me…
His full lips pressed hers, warm, soft, intense. She’d never known a
man’s mouth to be so lushly sensual and yet so deliciously firm. From that
touch, pleasure surged through her, tightening her nipples, and sending sparks
of fire tingling into her belly and outward, all the way down to her toes. She
couldn’t suppress the shudder that wracked her head to foot.
He lifted his head. Then he watched her, closely.
Edginess built inside her, combining with and intensifying the arousal
pulsing in her blood. She licked her lips then let her breath out in a ragged sigh.
“Open to me, Rebecca.”
He’d spoken softly, oh so softly—but the steel beneath the gentleness
sent shivers all over her. And not a little tingling excitement. Unable to bear
the determined heat of his gaze, she stared at the bridge of his elegant straight
nose. Dazed, afraid of him, yes, holy heavens yes, but far more frightened of
the feelings that were rapidly leaping to life within her.
No, this couldn’t be happening. She had kept herself safe all these
years since Jon. No emotionally dangerous entanglements. She was past all of
this. He should be out chasing some young opera dancer tonight. She should be
home, fast asleep in her chaste bed.
Safe.

She opened her mouth to deny him.
He brought his mouth down on hers, cutting off her protest. He thrust into her mouth, the taste of his hot, wet tongue more fiery than the best whisky. She shook, not with fear but with anticipation for the next stroke of his tongue against hers.
It came and delicious shudders quaked through her. Another stroke and another. Ruthlessly, he gripped her head and angled it, thrusting deeper. Taking her breath. Sucking her very soul and taking everything.
She didn’t care.
Every inch of his long, lean body pressed hers. She could feel the whipcord strength of his powerful muscles. Could feel his trembling as though he were holding back his ardour. His erection throbbed against her stomach, huge and hard. Heated.
A feeling of letting go, as though a tremendous weight had suddenly lifted from her. As though she’d been waiting forever for this moment. Tenderness burst within her. Her limbs went weak. Her fists unfurled and she grasped his shoulders, learning his feel, breathing in his scent, glorying in his taste, his strength, his forcefulness.
Stephen.
Her Stephen.
If she could, she would simply melt into him. She clung desperately to his hard body, surrendering herself wholly.
He tore his mouth from hers.
She cried out in protest.
He swept her up into his arms then lowered her. Her backside touched the table and the rickety wooden frame groaned and creaked.
He swooped down on her then gripped her chin in his large hand, gently yet firmly holding her in place. His eyes bore into hers, predatory, determined. “Now, tell me that you don’t know me.”
