When Jack woke up, he struggled to place himself. The surroundings were familiar, but not his own. Heat nestled against his chest. Dim sunlight struggled to penetrate dark curtains. The interior of the room was cloaked in shades of grey. There was no smell of mahogany and cigars. There were flowers and perfume. Her perfume. The events of the previous night came flooding back to him. Elsie's fair cheek lay in the crook of his arm, her small, delicate arm draped over his chest. His sleepiness was dispelled by the energy coursing through him. He had dreamt it so often, he was afraid that he was not in reality. He ran his fingers through the tousled hair of the beautiful woman laying next to him. She was in a lovely state of disarray. Unguarded, she had given herself over to him. He had let go, and she had responded in a way he thought impossible. It had not been a dream. She stirred under his touch, and a gentle smile played over her lips. Joy soared through his heart. His life had begun anew.

He was afraid he had scared he—that his power had overwhelmed her. He had told her she was alone in a house with a man she could not trust, who could not restrain himself. Her trust in him was complete. She hadn’t just trusted, she had offered. The sheltered morning light illuminated a smile on her lips. She was happy. Even in her slumber, she was happy beside him. Her palm resting over his heart soothed his soul. He knew a peace and contentment which had evaded him for years.

Not so last night. His blood had rushed through his veins with a touch of her fingertips. The fight to contain his desire — to wrap her in his arms – had consumed him. He had wavered between sweeping her into his embrace and fleeing down the hall to protect her innocence. Her light touch had restrained him. She had asked to be his. Could he dare? Could he dare, in that moment, to seize for himself just one glimpse of the passion held in his visions? Jack had lost hold of his control. His self possession fled as the scent of her arousal filled the air. The animal inside his chest had responded. She had undone him. Her tightness had consumed him. He had wanted it all. He had been desperate to hold back, desperate to restrain himself, to be the tender lover she had needed. The roiling in his chest rebelled against his self possession. Every limb, every nerve, the very blood boiling in his body, begged for his restraint to end.

Jack swept a lock of stray hair from her eyes. His throat seized down upon itself, his breath caught in his lungs. In the privacy of his chamber, in the deepest recesses of his heart, he had dreamt of a life together. Before last night, it had been a certainty that his dreams would remain just that — dreams — and that his desire would remain to torment him.
