DOM SAT THERE in a state of acute arousal long after Jane left. He was out of control. He hated that. Most of the time he knew exactly what he wanted and how to get it in the most efficient manner. But when it came to Jane . . .

Damn the wench, but she destroyed his control whenever she entered a room. Seeing her at dinner in that crimson dress, with garnets sparkling at her throat, had made it impossible for him not to touch her when she’d shown up outside the dining room alone.

Though he didn’t regret it. The feel of Jane coming apart in his hands was like nothing he’d ever known. Just remembering it had him fully aroused again. Blast.

Then he heard a noise in the hall. Was that Jane, come back to finish their encounter? But no, when a figure appeared in the doorway, it proved to be Tristan.

Good God. “How long have you been here?” Dom remained seated, hoping that the position would make it easier to keep his brother from noticing the arousal emblazoned on his trousers.

Tristan thrust his hands in his coat pockets. “Long enough to see Jane leave looking rather . . . disheveled.” His voice had an edge to it. “Take care, Dom. She’s toying with you.”

I know. “What makes you say that?”

“For one thing, she seems none too fond of you. For another, she’s engaged to someone else.” Tristan came into the room. “Yet every time the two of you get the chance to be alone, we find you . . . well . . .”

“Talking? That’s all we’re doing, you know.”

Tristan snorted. “Right. Because you’re on such good terms.”

Dom tensed. They could be. If he could manage to melt the glacier of a past that lay between them. “We get along well enough, under the circumstances.”

“Yes, and what are those circumstances, exactly?” Tristan walked closer. “She’s behaving rather like a woman scorned, which is odd when one considers that she jilted you. She did, didn’t she?”

Dom avoided his brother’s speculative gaze. “It’s a bit more . . . complicated than that.”

“I thought it might be.” Tristan dropped into a chair before the fire. “But she really is engaged to Blakeborough, is she not?”

A sigh escaped Dom. “That’s complicated, too.” Especially now that Dom had learned she wasn’t in love with the chap.

Love is too dangerous.

She certainly was right about that.

“Leave it to you to complicate a simple situation,” Tristan said.

With his arousal effectively banished, Dom rose. “You and Zoe did the same,” he said irritably.

Tristan shrugged. “Not really. I got her into my bed as soon as I could manage it, and all our complications vanished after that.” He watched as Dom paced the room. “Though I wouldn’t attempt that with Jane if I were you.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it.”

Yet he was dreaming of it, of having her right where he wanted her, where he could tease and taste and touch every fragrant inch of her to his heart’s content.
