CHAPTER SIX

NEITHER OF US MOVED. He was straddling me, holding me down, his rage and also his concern illuminating the pale inflections of his eyes. They were extraordinary eyes. Dark-rimmed and lightning-bright.

He might have been making a point, showing his dominance as he waited for me to answer the question he had every right to ask.

Despite his grip, or because of it, the tension eased from my body. I lay quietly, supine yet receptive. My restless sleep had displaced my shawl, and my gown, which was loosely tailored across the shoulders, draped in a revealing, delicately haphazard line.

I could feel the flaming heat of his body through the layers of our clothing.

A note of pleasant discomfort under his weight caused me to shift and I arched slightly. The movement accentuated the fullness of my breasts, encased as they were in the snug, flattering fit of my borrowed gown. I wanted to irritate him, or stir him, as he so easily did to me. Already, I was responding to him. The very core of my body throbbed lightly with a warm, sly pulse.

I placed my hand on his chest.

Something wild and restless was taking place between us that I could neither explain nor deny. Behind the sober civility, larger forces were at work between myself and Knox Mackenzie that were both thrilling and mesmerizing.

I want him. I want him to infuse me with his glory. Before I disappear to do my duty and risk my life, I want him.

My hands slid higher. Over the nape of his neck. Into that thick black hair. I pulled him down to me, until his face was over mine. Reaching up to him, I kissed his mouth in a seductive claim. I arched closer and our bodies met in tantalizing harmony. Rigid, uncompromising hardness over supple, inviting softness. I moved against him as my tongue touched his lips.

It was then that Knox Mackenzie submitted to my sultry demands with sudden, fierce surrender.

I had broken through the floodgates of his desire. He kissed me and the force of him was enough to overwhelm me completely. He took my mouth aggressively and his hands slid over my breasts. He was big and rough and hungry. His mouth fed on mine in long, erotic kisses, deep, ravenous and all-encompassing.

My hands had wreaked havoc in his hair and he was unfastening the top button of the bodice of my gown. We were both shaking, too absorbed to stop or to question. He made a savage sound, like a growl-edged purr. Leaning down, he kissed my breast, searching for the tip. Finding my nipple, he drew it into his mouth in firm, articulate tugs. Each pull sent a bolt of sweet, bountiful pleasure to the very center of my being that threatened to somehow spill, or overflow.

“Knox,” I breathed. “Oh, God, aye.” I couldn’t hold back my impassioned pleas. I wanted to tell him how good he felt, how much I wanted him. “You feel so good. I want to feel you everywhere.
