Chapter 6

B.J. untied Jonas's restraints as he lay panting and glistening with sweat. His reaction told her all she needed to know. She'd given him an experience he would never forget.

As she gazed at him sprawled on the flowered sheets looking totally wiped out, a rush of tenderness took her by surprise. Maybe it was wrong of her to fool him this way. From the way he was acting, he was getting emotionally involved with the woman he thought her to be.

Then she remembered his remark about "cowgirls who didn't hold his interest," and her sympathy vanished. Her desire for him, however, did not. She knew she was taking quite a chance stretching this fantasy to another night, but she couldn't bear to think of ending it now. She had more ideas to try, and before this was over she wanted to know what it would be like to have Jonas deep inside her.

When his breathing slowed she handed him his clothes. "I need you to leave now," she murmured.

"I wish…" His chest heaved. "I wish you'd let me stay."

"I can't do that. The longer you stay, the more you're going to be tempted to take off that blindfold."

"Yeah." He took another shaky breath. "Are you sure you couldn't do without it?"

"I'm sure. If you can't deal with the blindfold, then we can forget—"

"No! I'll wear the blindfold." He cleared his throat. "I'll wear it."

"And you have to promise not to bug me about this blindfold business."

"I promise." He sat up and began putting on his clothes. "Sarah, that was … spectacular."

"I'm glad."

"But I don't feel as if you had your share." He stood and pulled up his jeans.

"We can worry about that tomorrow night."

He nodded as he buckled his belt. "Tomorrow night. Yeah." He hesitated. "Thank you for giving me that."

Once again his vulnerability tugged at her heart. "I want another night, too," she said softly.

"You do?" He glanced in her direction, even though he couldn't see her. "That's nice to hear."

"You turn me on, Jonas." You always have.

"I think it's obvious that you turn me on, too, Sarah. In fact, if I could stay a little longer, I'd probably recover enough to—"

"It's better if you go now." She handed him his socks and his boots.

"Maybe so." He sat down on the bed to put on his socks. "You're right. The longer I'm with you, the more I want to see your face. Is it that you don't think you're attractive?"

"I'm passable. My face wouldn't frighten little children."

"I'm sure you're pretty." He put on his boots. "In fact, I'm very sure of it. But even if you weren't, I'd think you were beautiful because of the way you made love to me tonight. A man doesn't need conventional beauty when a woman gives of herself the way you did."

"Time for you to leave, anyway, Jonas." She took his hand. "I'll lead you to the front door."

He stood and followed her, but at the door to the bedroom he stopped and inhaled deeply.
