CHAPTER 10

As her mouth connected with his, Jane felt as if her heart would pound from her chest.

Could he hear it? she wondered, in that tiny instant before he returned the kiss. How could he miss it? The ruckus in her ears sounded like a dozen bass drums beating in unison.

After a moment, she wouldn’t have cared if an entire marching band suddenly wandered through. She was too carried away by the avalanche of sensations sweeping her off her feet.

She forgot everything in his arms, forgot the electrical outage, the strain of the last few days, the hundreds of questions she had about who she was and where she had come from.

All she could think of was Mason. In the dark, she was surrounded by him, engulfed by him. She was intensely aware of the solid, comforting strength of his chest against her and she wanted to burrow close to him like a wild creature in need of sanctuary.

He pressed her back against the pillows, his hard, powerful body covering her, and her skin seemed to melt into him. Though the quilt still covered her from the waist down, she could feel heat and energy pouring off him in waves. Her body moved restlessly, eager for more contact.

This was incredible! Was kissing always like this, a wanton rush of heat, this slow churn of blood, the breathless anticipation that something wonderful waited just around some corner?

Somehow she knew their kiss was different. It had to be. Wouldn’t people want to spend every waking moment with their mouths locked together if it was always like this?

Surely these kinds of incredible sensations would be burned into her synapses and not even a head injury could compel her to forget.

She’d ridden that horse today with an instinct and skill she couldn’t explain. But here in Mason’s arms, she felt an absolute novice. Everything seemed brand-new, a whole wonderful, undiscovered world she couldn’t wait to explore.

Breathless and rather dazed, she twisted her arms around his neck and he groaned and deepened the kiss, his mouth hard and urgent. His lips and tongue explored her mouth and she nearly gasped at the wonder of it.

Ah, heaven. She wanted to see him but only a little hazy moonlight shone through the bedroom. Instead of frightening her, the enforced darkness now lent an intimacy to their embrace and she wondered if he ever would have kissed her if the power hadn’t failed.

“Say something,” he murmured, a rather odd request. His voice sounded raspy, tight, but she found it incredibly erotic—almost as arousing as his hand that suddenly explored her ribcage through the cotton of her borrowed nightgown.

She shivered, her nipples hard and tight and painfully eager. “Touch me,” she gasped when his fingers stilled. “Oh, please, Mason.”

He made an aroused sound low in
