CHAPTER 13

Christian felt a soft hand touch his forehead, cool velvet across his skin. He smiled at the sensation as his mind filled with . . .

Raven.

In the twilight of sleep, before he opened his eyes, she stirred his body with little effort. Dream or not, heat rushed through him, churning his blood until his mind filled with nothing but her. Pale skin and enticing curves of flesh came to life in his memory.

"Oh, Raven . . . yes," he whispered, loving the sound of her name in the stillness.

Playing her favorite game of seduction in the early hours of the morning, he kept his eyes shut tight and moved under the sheets, surrendering to her. In the most vivid dream he'd had of her, Raven slipped under the sheets next to him. Cool air kissed the heat of his raging skin. She nuzzled her head into his shoulder, an arm over his chest. Her caress gave him comfort, but with the alcohol in his system, he wasn't in the mood for sleep.

"Come here, baby," he whispered. "I love you."

"Hold me." So faint, he barely heard her. "Just hold me."

With his eyes still shut, Christian rolled to one elbow and stroked the side of her face, pressing his lips to hers. She returned his urgency at first, her tongue entwined with his.

Slowly, he pulled down her lingerie and held her breast, licking her nipple. Slow circles turned into arousing flicks of his tongue. When she moaned, he heard the sound of it ripple through her body.

"No ... please," she murmured. In a show of domination, Raven pushed him onto his back and nestled against his chest once more. "Hold me."

"I'm trying, baby." He rolled on top of her again, cradling her head with a hand, his fingers entwined in her hair. "You feel so good."

He wanted her . . . needed her.

Unable to play the game any longer, Christian opened his eyes, his mind reeling with the vividness of the dream. No lights. Raven had turned them off. That struck him as odd. Something was off. But in the darkness, even with the room spinning, when he caught sight of her faint silhouette under him, he had no interest in anything other than toe-curling sex.

Once more he pressed his lips to hers. And Raven cried out, "Christian . . . please. Stop. I only want you to hold me," she sobbed. "Please stop."

He fought to regain control, but his body still reacted to her. His erection hammered against his pants, straining for release. He stared into the blackness, replaying everything in his head. Why was he still wearing his clothes? Damn it! What the hell? In the dark, he couldn't see much, but a flash memory of the hotel room came to mind. And reality hit hard.

This wasn't Chicago. He wasn't home ... with Raven. Then who ...?

He shoved the woman aside, his erection on a downhill slide, and reached for the lamp on his nightstand. Before he hit the switch, he knew what he would find.
