Chapter 6

Devlin stopped outside Angela’s room and banged on the door.

Angela jumped, lurching away from the door as if it were on fire.

“Can you hear me?” Devlin yelled.

The dead can probably hear you, Angela thought wildly. She had a strong feeling that the barrier of silence was about to be broken.

“Listen to me, Angela,” Devlin commanded. There was a pause, and then his tone changed.

“I know I don’t have as much money as Philip Cronin, but in the future it’s possible that...” His voice trailed off as Angela waited, puzzled. What on earth was he talking about?

“That’s not true,” Devlin picked up again in a resigned tone. “I’ll never have a real lot of money, but I will be able to make a good living, and is money that important anyway?”

Angela edged closer to the door, intrigued. Whatever was coming she was all ears.

“What I’m trying to say is, I don’t believe you love that guy, and I’m fairly sure you love me. . . .”

He had Angela’s complete attention. She stared at the back of the door, her pulses racing. Then she reached out with a trembling hand and turned the knob slowly. The door swung open and she faced Devlin, now only inches away.

“What are you trying to say, Brett?” she asked softly.

Angela released a long, shuddering breath, filled with relief and happiness. “Say it, my darling,” she whispered. “I promise it won’t hurt you to say it, and I need to hear it so much.”

“I love you, Angela,” Devlin said huskily, and she flung herself into his arms.

Devlin held her tightly, his eyes closed, his lips buried in her hair.

“I’ve waited so long to hear that,” Angela sighed, her nails digging into his hard shoulders as if to ascertain his reality. “I thought I never would.”

Devlin picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

“Will you stay with me this time?” Angela asked as he set her on the edge of her bed. “You won’t stop, and pull away?”

He fell to his knees beside her and put his arms around her waist.

“Not this time,” he responded thickly, his voice muffled by her body. “And never again.”

Angela held his head against her, his mouth searing her breasts through the thin silk of her dress. She sank her fingers into his lush hair, arching her back to press him closer. His fingers went to the zipper at her neckline and he moved away as the gown fell to her waist.

Angela watched as he pulled his sweater over his head. He wore nothing under it, and she held out her arms, eager for the sensation of his skin against hers. When he embraced her again she gasped with pleasure, pulling him onto the bed with her.

Devlin kissed her hungrily, restraining himself with difficulty. He didn’t want to
