CHAPTER SIX

AT FIRST SIGHT OF the man in her bedroom, Serena almost screamed. But she choked back the sound.

It didn’t seem so terribly strange that he was there. And it didn’t take an Einstein to realize he had aptly discovered the passageways and staircases that wound within the house.

A thousand things raced through her mind as she stared at him. Thoughts of how he looked, leaning against the paneling, arms across his chest … casual, yet challenging, demanding, seeking. For all the world as if he belonged.

My week isn’t up, she thought in panic. But did it matter? Did anything matter?

She wanted and needed him as she had never wanted or needed anyone in her life. Her eyes were held by his; there was that goading, self-assured challenge in his intense gaze.

But there was more. That look that merged with hers, as if all were undeniable, as if theirs had been a rendezvous appointed by destiny. He knew no more than she why the obsession was so blinding, but just as she, he accepted the tempestuous storm of passionate desire that brought them here, face-to-face, against anything and everything.

And then greater than wonder came the knowledge that she had been a fool. So seldom in a lifetime was it possible to find love, to give love, and she had tried to deny it.

And he was there, standing before her. Like he belonged, because he did belong.

Serena barely heard his words. The tone didn’t matter; the words didn’t matter. There was naked need in his eyes beneath the veneer of demand. She echoed a tiny cry, and forgetting all else, she raced across the room to hurtle herself into his arms, burying her face against his neck and shoulder, clinging to him as the hammer of his heart became a drumbeat within her system.

He held her a moment, pressing her close. He ran his fingers slowly and soothingly through her hair.

“Serena …” he whispered, and the sound was rich with longing. She tilted her head back and met his eyes, and saw both the fires and the anguish. She lowered her lashes and burrowed against him again, rubbing her cheek against the crisp hairs that grew high on his broad chest beneath the collarbones. His hands spanned the small of her back and rose to her shoulders to draw her back an inch. He met her eyes again, and his were soft now with unspoken understanding. He reached for the folded knot that held the towel to her and released it; the towel fell to the floor at her feet. Serena hesitantly touched upon the belt of his robe, her fingers becoming surer. But as the belt gave and the robe slipped open, he groaned and crushed her against him once more, and the fires mounted as the softness of her flesh was kissed by the rougher quality of his. She could feel the pillar of his thigh hard against her, the hair of his calves teasing hers, the magnificent chest warming her breasts until her nipples felt ignited by blue flame.
