It wasn’t a dust storm but one of passion that prevented Conner from moving. The buckboard seat had been abandoned. Belinda was too aroused to be shocked to the tips of her high-buttoned shoes when he tossed the poncho down on the thick grass. She wasn’t wearing the shoes, or the silk stockings that had covered incredibly long, shapely legs. Draped alongside the stockings on the side of the buckboard was her skirt and his gun belt. She hadn’t bothered to run when he reached for the buckle.

He stared down at her, at the play of weak sunlight and shadows from the laced branches overhead on her flushed cheeks, the slender bridge of her nose, on her ripe, sweetly giving mouth. Against the dark, rough-woven cloth, the spilled waves of her blond hair cushioned her head. Her expression was curiously beseeching.

Conner refused to be rushed. He fell to his knees beside her. “Are you sure, lovely lady, that this is what you want?” He called himself a fool, but he wanted no recriminations later. He couldn’t forget that she was a woman who knew what she wanted and how to get it. Still, he had to be sure.

She trailed fingers lightly up his powerful thigh. “How can you still doubt that I want you?” She was mesmerized by the desire in his eyes, by his touch, and by the strong feelings that sprang to life at his nearness.

“We’re going to be very late,” he noted. His hand moved to the tiny buttons at the neck of her shirtwaist and began opening them with unhurried fingers. All the time, he watched her for a sign that this wasn’t what she wanted at all.

“Late?” she repeated in a dazed whisper, resting quietly beneath his hands.

Conner smiled. Forgetting the purpose of their being together should have flattered his male vanity, but small doubts cropped up over her falling into his hands like a ripe peach.

His fingers slipped under the fragile lawn to lightly stroke her slender neck. “Rose petals,” he murmured. “Velvety soft, fine as silk.” He was being offered the most delectable body of a woman he desired and he’d be a fool to refuse the gift, to deny giving the lady what every sultry sigh asked him for. Yet again, the dark voice of reason asked why. Why him? Why now?

He trailed one finger over the soft rise of her breast. The thin chemise with its feminine, delicate lace edge and tiny pink ribbon tie contrasted sharply with the darker skin of his callused hand. It was no obstacle at all to his sudden need to touch her silken flesh.

Conner slid one hand beneath her back, bringing her up slowly toward his mouth. Her lashes fluttered, her head fell back, lips parting in unmistakable signs of surrender. His thumb and forefinger touched her nipple through the sheer fabric. He thought about taking the generous shape of her mouth beneath his, but contented himself by watching the flush of sensuality mantle her cheeks.
