Chapter 10

He’d given his permission, but now Lenna hesitated. She knew she needed to read him to acquire crucial information about Seven, but . . . touching him while they were both naked and in bed was infinitely different from touching him when they were fully clothed and in Elijah’s company. He was very male and, at least where he was concerned, she was more female than she’d quite realized before. Liking the male sex in general was not the same as being intensely interested in one particular male. She couldn’t remember ever before being aroused by just looking at a man’s body.

Regardless of how uncharacteristically hesitant she felt, she knew she had to do it. Gently she placed one hand on the side of his head, then slid the other to his neck. Her fingers conformed to his shape. Her eyes closed as she cradled him.

He was hotter than she’d expected him to be, turning his hair to warm silk under her hand. His strong neck was hard and corded; she could feel the vibrant rush of blood pulsing deep within. This wasn’t like before. She’d touched him; he’d touched her—but not like this, leisurely, without haste or direction. She liked the sensation of his flesh against her palms, the sound of his breath, the beat of his heart.

Though he had given his permission, finding her way into his mind wasn’t as effortless as reading someone usually was. Everything about him was tough, body and mind. Mentally she pushed, and felt his instinctive resistance.

She took her hands away. “If you hate the idea this much, it won’t work.”

“Shit,” he muttered, a Seven expletive with which she was familiar, having heard it before when she’d looked in on this world. Back then the major mode of transportation had been horses, so even though much time had passed on Seven while she’d been distracted, evidently the expletive was an enduring one.

“Shit,” she repeated, pleased that she both remembered and agreed with the application.

Surprised, he laughed. It was a rusty, stifled sound, one he obviously didn’t make very often. “Making myself mentally available isn’t something I’ve ever done before. Let’s try this.” Before she could ask what “this” was, and agree or disagree, he slid one muscular arm beneath her and rolled her on top of him.

Luckily a fold of the covers got caught between them, or the situation would have been far more intimate than it already was. His big body was hard and vibrant beneath her, her tender nipples nestled against his hairy chest. She took a quick, startled breath, distracted by the rush of pleasure that made her bones turn liquid. She wanted to melt over him, absorb all that strength and intensity inside her, learn about another kind of strength.

He kept that one arm around her, and slipped his other hand up her back to clasp the nape of her neck. “Try again,” he said, his tone so low she could barely hear him.

Once again she cupped the back of his head in her hand, and lightly laid her other hand along his jaw.
