I cannot believe I did that, Caroline thought before all ability to think coherently left her.

Tom's arms wrapped around her in seconds, pulling her into full contact with the exquisite firmness of his body.

This, she thought hazily, must be as close to Heaven as one could get, only to realize in the very next instant that she was wrong. There was closer. Much closer.

Tom's mouth left hers and her feeling of momentary dissatisfaction was obliterated by the feel of his lips grazing her neck. She felt the tip of his tongue dart out to taste her and her legs finally buckled, making her grateful for his unyielding grip.

The sensations he was creating were completely overwhelming her. She was completely lost to him, totally under his spell.

She whispered his name reverently and was rewarded with a masculine growl that vibrated against her neck.

The sound of approaching footsteps invaded the bubble surrounding them and Tom leapt away from her so quickly that she staggered a little.

They looked at each other, both breathing rapidly, neither one able to put a name to what had just occurred. It was beyond a kiss. Beyond lust. For her, it was even beyond the love she had felt for him up until now.

It was as if her very soul had left her own body and planted itself firmly next to his. She didn't care. Didn't want it. All she wanted was him.

The footsteps turned out to belong to Edward and Rebecca and they arrived in the room looking decidedly dishevelled. Caroline wished they'd turn and leave again, which was very unkind.

But they had interrupted her first foray into seduction and it had been going so well. Very, very well.

"That was quick." Tom smirked at Edward.

"What?" shouted Edward, sounding immediately defensive.

Rebecca burst into a fit of giggles and Caroline had to bite her lip to stop from doing the same.

She looked up and caught Tom's gaze as he watched the action, his eyes darkening further still.

"So then, are we to have a tour of the house?" asked Rebecca cheerfully.

Tom shook his head a little as if to clear his mind and turned to Rebecca.

"Yes of course. I had thought that we wouldn't have time with you and Edward being busy. But as it turns out, we have ample time. We might even take time to stroll around the gardens."

"Not if I shoot you," threatened Edward.

Tom merely laughed and turned to Caroline.

"Shall we?" He held out a hand.

Her nerves were strung as tightly as a bow. Her heart had not yet stopped galloping and she knew that contact with any part of his body would only set it to racing faster still.

"Yes," she said quietly, stepping forward to take his hand.

She felt like she was answering more than just his simple question. And hoped that he was asking more too.
