Chapter Seven

He pressed her further back against the cool stone behind her. His body covered hers as she arched against him and wrapped one of her legs around his waist. Warmth filled her to the core. She needed more. Her hands fell to the hardened muscles of his upper arms as her hair fanned out against the cave wall behind her.

The weight of his body felt amazing against her own. He pushed further against her, running his hand up and down her arm as his chest covered hers. She’d never known such heat before. Her hands fell from his arms to roam down the length of his back, where her palms splayed against his chiseled muscles. She moaned against his neck when he drew away for breath, unable to trap the sound inside her.

He paused and rested his forehead against her own. When he spoke, he drew in ragged breaths between each word. “Parineeta, I think I may…”

A cold hand gripped her heart. “Stop.”

He looked up, confusion furrowing his brow. “What?”

She glanced down at their position. One of her legs wrapped tightly against his waist, while the other had drifted up the back of his ankle. What was she doing? How could she? She pushed him off her, sending him reeling backward. “Stop. Do not say one more word.”

He tried to reach for her arm, but she held up one hand in warning.

“I am not my mother,” she whispered.

His face fell.

“My mother fell for a man’s words once, too. He had no interest in her soul, only an interest in her body. She believed he loved her.” Parineeta swallowed hard. “I will not make her mistake.”

He let out a deep exhale. “Why are you comparing me to him?”

“Why wouldn’t I? You are all the same.”

“I would never abandon you.”

“I hardly know you!”

He stepped back at her exclamation. The force of her words startled even her. “I am supposed to use you as a tool for revenge, not a man to fall in love with. I have no time to...” To what? To care for someone? Surely not to fall in love.

“Neither did I. I always thought I needed to leave for my next assignment, that there was no point in settling down with any girl.” Warren set his jaw. His shoulders stiffened. “Parineeta, I didn’t plan this.”

She hated the way her name sounded on his lips, so tender and so tinged with desire, hated it more than the torrential monsoon rains, more than the endless days when the past general had worked her to the bone. At least they didn’t offer her a glimpse of something she’d never have. “I will not fall for your sweet words and flattery. I know better than to trust men like you.” She looked away.

Warren stepped toward her, a few twigs crackling beneath his weight. She remained fixed to the spot, avoiding his gaze. The closer he came, the more her body ached with longing. Her chest rose and fell with each purposeful breath she took, determined to calm herself.
