By the time she came downstairs for coffee, his car was already in the driveway.

She glanced through the windows of several rooms, but didn't spot him anywhere outside. After drinking several cups of coffee to fortify herself for the encounter that must take place, she ventured outdoors. She hadn't noticed it before, but the sky was overcast. Low clouds threatened rain, and Laura shivered against the stiff breeze.

The pier was the first place she looked for James, though she didn't see him anywhere around. She was making her way back toward the house when it began file:///C|/BOOKS%20E/BROWN%20Sandra/Brown,%20Sandra%20-%2022%20Indigo%20Place.ht m (71 of 135)02/10/2005 20:57:02

to rain. It wasn't a light shower that gradually built into a downpour; it started out as a torrent. One moment she was dry, and the next she was being pelted with heavy rain. She ran for the first available shelter, the stable.

It was dark inside the cavernous building. It smelled like hay and horses and leather, not at all unpleasant to someone who had grown up enjoying horseback riding.

Laura shook the raindrops from her hair. Standing just inside the door she looked out at the silver curtain of rain that fell between her and the house.

"Gotcha!"

She let out a sharp yelp of fright and surprise as her arms were clasped from behind. She was turned around and brought face-to-face with James. "Scare you?"

"You know you did!" she said, faking exasperation. Actually her heart began racing at the sight of him. "I didn't know you were in here."

"Aw, shucks. I thought that was why you came tearing in here."

"I only came tearing in here to get out of the rain."

He glanced over her shoulder. "It's really coming down." Then he looked her straight in the eye. "We might be in here for a long time."

Laura was certain the serpent had said something to that effect to Eve.

James hadn't released her. His hands were warmly curled around her upper arms.

Her breasts were flattened against his chest. He gazed down at her. She wet her lips nervously.

"What were you doing in here?"

"Hmm?" he asked absently. His eyes were taking in the raindrops that covered her hair like a glistening net. "Oh, I was, uh…"

He took several steps forward, propelling her backward. "James?"

"Hmm?" He continued to study her face.

"You were about to say something," she whispered on a thin breath when her back came up against the wall.

"I was?"

"Yes."

With his hands on her shoulders, he pinned her against the wall, lowered his head, and settled his mouth firmly against hers. Angling his head, he sealed their file:///C|/BOOKS%20E/BROWN%20Sandra/Brown,%20Sandra%20-%2022%20Indigo%20Place.ht m (72 of 135)02/10/2005 20:57:02

mouths together. Any protests that might have been forthcoming were trapped inside Laura's mouth. Her lips responded to the warm pressure of his, but she still held herself in restraint.

"Come on, baby, kiss me back."

"I don't want to," she said, and groaned.

"Yes, you do. And you know the way I want it. Kiss me like that."

When his tongue probed the seam of her lips, they opened like the fragile petals of a flower.
