Arlette looked at him with considerable surprise, and for a long moment could not look away. She looked into his eyes and she could see real hunger there. Mesmerised, she stared into the fathomless depths. She was unprepared for the sheer force of the feelings that swept through her and she knew, with a kind of panic, that she was in grave danger, not from him, but from herself. She wanted to tell him how much she cared for him, and how important he was to her, but she did not want to break this moment of closeness. She was trapped and she knew it and she felt her heart suddenly start pounding in a quite unpredictable manner. He was looking into her eyes, holding her spellbound, weaving some magic web around her from which there was no escape.

The darkening of his eyes, the naked passion she saw in their depths, seemed to work a strange spell on her and conquered her and, without knowing what she was doing, moving within his arms, her entire body began to tremble with desire and fear.

‘Are you going to kiss me again?’ she whispered.

‘Do you want me to?’

She nodded slowly. ‘Please,’ she breathed.

‘And how many times have you been kissed?’

‘Just the once—by you. I’ve never met anyone else that I wanted to kiss me.’

There was nothing she could do to still the quiver of anticipation as he lowered his head and covered her mouth with his own. His lips were cool and surprisingly smooth as they brushed lightly against hers. The shock of his lips on hers was one of wild, indescribable sweetness and sensuality as he claimed a kiss of violent tenderness. She felt again the fierce thrill of being in his arms once more as she was half-sitting, half-lying across his lap. Her eyes fluttered closed and, for a few seconds, time ceased. She was totally innocent of the sort of warmth, the passion he was skilfully arousing in her, that poured through her veins with a shattering explosion of delight. It was a kiss like nothing she could have imagined. He kissed her with ardour and passion and she could think of nothing but the exciting urgency of his mouth and the warmth of his breath, the feel of the strong muscled body against her own. His hands glided restless, possessively, over her breasts, her waist, pressing her tightly to his hardened body. A jolt slammed through her as his lips began to move on hers, thoroughly exploring every tender contour.

Half-stifled, her head reeling, she found herself imprisoned against his chest and there was little she could do to escape—not that she wanted to, for what she was feeling was beyond her imagination. As she trailed her hands up his chest, feeling the hard muscles beneath his jacket and sliding her fingers into the crisp hair at his nape, inside her an emotion she had never experienced before began to sweetly unfold, before vibrantly bursting with a fierceness that made her tremble.
