CHAPTER SEVEN

It was as she felt the softness of the rug beneath her back and opened sensuously heavy eyelids to meet the descend ing jade-green gaze that Kelly dimly caught sight of the crossed foils hanging on the wall. They stirred her memory.

There was a reason she was doing this. A reason she was encouraging Locke’s lovemaking.

They were dueling, she reminded herself, feeling the beginnings of helplessness. He wanted something from her, and she wanted something from him. She had to know how much he had told Helen.

But it was difficult to think with the warmth of the flames and the heat of Locke’s body crowding in on her.

“Kelly, my sweet little adversary, tell me the truth. You know you became mine last night, don’t you?”

Kelly heard the gentle command in the thick silk of his words and could only stare, wide-eyed, up at him as he lowered himself alongside her on the rug.

“Locke, oh, Locke. I think you are a sorcerer at times,” she breathed, her fingers finding the heavy darkness of his hair and sliding to his nape.

“I’ll become anything it takes to hold you,” he vowed huskily.

His hands began to move exploringly, tantalizingly, on her body- It was different tonight, Kelly thought vaguely as her skin responded at all the points of contact. Last night had been wild, the lovemaking fraught with Locke’s masculine aggression and his desire to confirm his victory on the most fundamental of levels. She had responded to it with the unexpected wildness she had discovered in herself.

But tonight he was all seduction. Passion and gentleness. Desire and pleading. It was very male, but the emotions and” need in him were new to Kelly. She knew instinctively that Locke made love with a passion that probably didn’t exist in men like Brett Forrester. Her black-haired, green-eyed lover involved himself totally in the moment, giving all of himself even as he demanded everything in return.

Giving all of himself… The words ran through her mind even as his hands and lips moved over her, searching out the sensitive places, claiming them once again. All of himself.

Could a man who gave all of himself, even for this short span of time, deliberately hurt the woman he held in his arms? How much had he told Helen? Dear God! How much had he told Helen?

She tried to keep that thought in her mind, determined now to ask it when he was at his weakest. But it was she who was weakening… .

“Tonight I shall have the one pleasure I didn’t have last night,” Locke murmured, his hand stroking down her jeaned leg to encircle her ankle.

“What pleasure?” she asked, aware of the erotic sensation of being lightly bound as he tugged her foot closer.

“Undressing you,” he chuckled softly, throatily. Deliberately he slipped off her shoe. “The anticipation makes me ache, but I can’t bear to hurry it!”

He unwrapped her as if she were a precious package, and almost unconsciously Kelly did the same to him.

“Locke,” she gasped
