CHAPTER SIX

HE RAN the pad of his thumb over her lips and a sensual energy uncurled within her, leaving her trembling and leaning into his touch. She stared into his dark eyes and felt as if she were drowning in passion so intense that it sapped the strength from her limbs.

Since the day they’d met on the beach he’d invaded her thoughts as surely as his ancestors had invaded this island and claimed it for themselves.

There was certainly nothing to gain by saving themselves for their wedding night. In fact it would be wiser to sate their passions now, for then she wouldn’t have that expectation later. She wouldn’t be tempted to think how that special night should be between newlyweds.

His scent, his kiss, was already branded on her memory—the yardstick by which she’d unconsciously judged other men. Men who should have counted, who should have captured her heart—instead of this dark prince she’d fallen madly, passionately in love with.

Not his brother, the man she’d been destined to marry. But Kristo. Always Kristo invaded her dreams.

It was time to face her future. Face the truth she’d ignored for a year.

Kristo Stanrakis was an addiction she couldn’t shake. He had captured her interest long ago. Now he held her fate in his oh-so-strong hands.

All she was to him was an arranged wife with the correct lineage. The means to an end.

Yet that still didn’t stop the yearning that plagued her. It didn’t lessen the desire that coursed through her—desire he set ablaze with one heated look.

“You are mine,” he said, sliding his palms down her sides and setting off a seismic tremor inside her.

His arrogance should disgust her. Instead she heard herself saying, “That goes both ways, Kristo!”

“Vixen,” he said, before his lips captured hers.

Her resistance popped like a soap bubble as the flames of desire licked over her. She clung to him, desperate to know what it felt like to dance this close to the sun again.

She wanted to see if the reality of finally making love with this man came close to the teasing memory of hot kisses and intimate caresses that had haunted her for a year. She wanted to fill this awful emptiness inside her.

Their lips met in a collision of scorching need. The flames of desire danced around her and her skin pebbled, burning for him.

His hands were all over her, pushing up her shirt. He was tearing himself from her while he whipped it over her head. He pulled her up against him a breath later, and the crush of bared breasts to hot muscular chest surely set off sparks in the room. Her nipples budded and burned, and heat arrowed straight to her heart to explode in a burst of color.

No, this was far more intense than that day on the beach. This was cataclysmic. Primitive. Greedy.

His mouth fused on hers in a deep hot lick of desire that made her toes curl and her heart thrum with need. She dragged her nails down his sides to find the fastenings on his trousers.
