Teague looked down at Kate, her eyes closed as the last remnants of climax swept her. Perspiration beaded her forehead. Her chest heaved, and her body trembled.

And he realized he had been right. He had taken her. He had controlled her. He’d spilled his seed in her.

It wasn’t enough. It would never be enough. Not with Kate.

This was why he hadn’t had sex with her before, because this act wasn’t sex, it was something more, something beyond his ken.

Then she opened her eyes and looked at him, and that slow, warm, sensual smile stretched her lips. “Tell me, why didn’t we do that before?”

Every sensible thought disappeared from his brain, and he forgot fear, forgot trepidation, forgot everything in the need to conquer her again.

He kissed her, savoring the freshness of her breath, the warm twist of her tongue against his.

My God, he would almost be satisfied just to kiss her.

Almost.

He stroked her breasts, marveling at the pink blush that rose beneath her pale skin, and the way her nipples turned from a relaxed peach to a puckered raspberry. She watched him from beneath lids that drooped, and a satisfied smile played across her lips.

He’d satisfied her.

Why was he not completely satisfied? Why did he need to take her again so soon? When had he become a glutton for this one woman?

What did it mean?

He was sure she was in trouble. Really big trouble with George Oberlin.

Usually Teague could smell menace, sense it in his bones. He had an intuition about the bad guys, and what he sensed was a dangerous man’s disquiet with his own deeds.

So why hadn’t he been aware of the threat caused by Oberlin?

There could be only one explanation. Oberlin had no conscience, no thought of right and wrong, no thought of anything beyond his own wishes. He had murdered before, murdered more than once, and he had never been caught. Somehow, he had covered up the evidence.

If he wanted Kate, he would use every weapon in his considerable arsenal — respectability, money, influence — to remove Teague and take her as his own. And if she refused…would he kill her, too?

“What are you thinking?” Kate smoothed the hair across Teague’s forehead. “You’re frowning.”

“I’m wondering if I can borrow a friend’s jet.”

“Why?” She smiled as if she read his mind.

“I have a place in Mexico with a private beach. There’s a hut. It’s not big and it’s not pretty, and the cockroaches are as big as mice, but —”

“What are we waiting for?” She sat up — bare, unself-conscious, and beautiful. “I have the weekend off. Let’s go.”

Damn. She could read his mind. “Not so fast.” He tumbled her onto her back. He’d dreamed of her dark hair spread across his pillow and her blue eyes sparkling up at him. Now he held her between his hands and discovered just having her here wasn’t enough. He required more.

Fate. She was his fate. He’d tried to avoid her, and it, and Fate had laughed at him. Now he was bound to Kate by sexual desire and by…no.
