CHAPTER 4

His lips were warm and gentle atop hers, his touch tentative at first, then increasing in intensity. For the first time in her life, she was being kissed. Really kissed.

She should push him away, but she couldn’t. She didn’t want to. She wanted to experience the gift he offered her. She didn’t know why he was kissing her. It wasn’t because he desired her. She knew that wasn’t a possibility. No one as handsome as Hugh Baxter would ever desire anyone as plain as she.

No doubt, the only reason he’d done something so rash was because he was overcome with relief. He’d worked so hard to make sure she survived that when he saw her weak from exhaustion, he was more worried than he had to be. Kissing her was just a thoughtless reaction.

But she didn’t care. She’d felt an attraction to him from the first, and wanted to kiss him. And even more than that, she’d wanted to be kissed by a man who had no intention of wooing her because of her astronomical dowry. She wanted to be kissed by a man whose actions were nothing more than a rash impulse. He was giving her the experience she’d dreamed of having her whole life.

He deepened his kisses and she accepted his ministrations. He was more skilled than she so she allowed him to show her what to do. She would learn from him, accept the emotional upheaval he offered her as the gift it was. Being kissed by someone as perfect as Hugh Baxter was a dream come true.

He opened his mouth atop hers and she opened to him. His tongue skimmed her lips, then entered her mouth. Fiery bolts shot through her body.

She couldn’t remain still in his lap. She turned into him, then pushed at the quilt that was wrapped around her until she’d freed her hands. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and held tight.

He was perfect. What he gave her was an encounter more incredible than anything she’d imagined. His arms held her securely as he tilted his head. Although she didn’t think it was possible, the shift in position allowed him to kiss her with even more intensity. She moaned with desire.

He kissed her once more, then again.

She took him into her mouth, eagerly accepting his entry, seeking out his tongue, battling his intrusion, doing a frantic dance that stole the breath from her body.

Bright lights exploded behind her closed eyelids. Fiery bolts of lightning shot through her body. Harsh gasps of air threatened to overtake her. She was no longer in control of her emotions. No longer in control of rational thought. No longer in control of anything.

When she thought she couldn’t endure another second of his kisses, he lifted his head and broke their contact.

She gasped, then took in huge breaths of air as if she was coming up for air after nearly drowning. She been so cold earlier she couldn’t say a complete sentence without her teeth chattering.
