It was what she’d wanted since their kiss in an empty lounge at her hotel and, in a different sense, for most of her adult years, this wanton letting go, this helpless convergence with another’s soul-deep craving. Yet, even as she gave herself over completely to Stephen’s embrace, gasping with pleasure at his tongue’s muscular seeking and the unyielding pressure of his need against her, Jess sensed there were barriers still to be erased. Unless he revealed them to her and they managed to deal with them, she might find herself going home to England without him when Annie was well again.

Maybe I’m riding for a fall, she thought fiercely, her humiliation at Ronald Holmes’s hands still fresh in her memory, though she hoped it was no longer a factor in her decision-making. If so, I’ll take my chances. Stephen’s worth the risk.

For the lanky blond doctor who’d come to her aid that day at the zoo, the little sigh of delight and acceptance that escaped her as he deepened his kiss was like kerosene poured on a flame. Never in the years of his manhood, with their failed marriage and their deep, emotional yearnings, had he wanted a woman so much. Never had he longed with such heartfelt ambivalence to ravish and protect.

“Jess… Ah, Jess…” he groaned, his capable physician’s hands fumbling like a schoolboy’s at the buttons of her delicate sweater-blouse. “I’m crazy about you, don’t you realize that? Stop me if you don’t want what we’re about to do. Because I won’t be able to stop myself.”

“Believe me, I want it.”

Wrung from her with such passion in her elegant British accent, the admission only intensified his hunger. His lips parted, his blue eyes hooded, he watched her undo the buttons herself, then helped her tug the soft garment from her shoulders.

The front clasp of her bra came next. A heartbeat later, it, too, had been cast aside, allowing her small but lushly formed breasts to spill into his hands. He groaned at the unbearable sweetness of it as her nipples puckered with arousal beneath his fingertips.

Somehow—she wasn’t exactly sure of the manner in which it had come about—Jess found herself seated on the edge of the bed, with her skirt pushed up to her hips. Stephen knelt in front of her, cradled by her thighs. Bending his head, he took her left breast’s peak in his mouth, to suck at it with lavish intensity.

Shuddering with pleasure at what she felt, Jess rested her cheek against his hair. He responded by teasing her other nipple to taut erectness. Currents of need knifed her to the quick. It was as if an erotic telegraph connected her aroused buds with the womanly depths where she wanted him most. She could feel them warming and opening, crying out for him to fill them.

“Take off your tie…your shirt, Stephen,” she begged, working the tails of the latter garment free so that she could insert her hands beneath his belt. “I want to touch you…everywhere.
