CHAPTER NINE

Bella

Bella was dreaming, she had to be dreaming.

The raging fire inside of her could never burn in waking life. She would be incinerated, destroyed by its heat, eaten alive by the raw need that was quickly consuming what was left of her right mind.

But she could still smell the familiar scents of her cottage—lavender, baked goods and sugar—and the unfamiliar smell of Heath across the room. She could hear the night birds calling outside, the last of the summer insects humming into the darkness, and the soft snoring from the man on her trundle bed.

The man responsible for this unbelievable burning.

She shifted again, throwing off her quilt, grateful that she hadn’t lit the wood stove. She was already twisting, writhing against the suddenly coarse sheets. Every nerve in her body screamed for her to get out of bed, to go to the only person who could ease the ache that was becoming more than she could bear. Each whisper of her nightgown across her nipples, each shift of thigh against thigh, seemed to make the burning worse. It was impossible to catch her breath, her skin was damp with sweat, and it was all she could do to keep from moaning her desire into the night.

Go to him. Go to him and take what you need.

“No.” She muttered the word aloud, then closed her eyes and forced herself not to move, not to feed the itch inside of her with any more friction of sheets and fabric against her sensitized skin. She had made it so long. She was stronger than this. It was only a month. Was she such a slave to her newly awakened lust that she couldn’t delay her gratification a few weeks longer?

Take what you need, Bella. He’ll never come back.

Do you want to die a virgin, alone in your cottage, never knowing what it feels like to have a man in your bed?

Damn that voice, it was evilly persuasive. Maybe Heath wouldn’t come back. He’d promised to help Hansel and Gretel and she believed he would. He had said he loved her and as crazy as it seemed, she almost believed that, too—she knew she was falling for him.

But what if she were wrong? It had happened so fast, so quickly it made her head swim. What if this were all some crazy dream, the climax of which was her lying in her bed as her body cried out for liberation from the sexual hunger that had tormented her for most of her adult life?

He wants you. He’s hard for you even in his sleep.

You could claim him now. He would never have to know you were a virgin or wonder why you’ve waited so long to share your body with a man.

She didn’t know if it was the word “claim” that did it, or the whole idea of ravishing Heath while he was sleeping, but she was suddenly positive that the voice in her head wasn’t hers.

There was something wrong, something working in her mind, under her skin, that wasn’t Bella.
