One moment, Miranda was gasping for more air. The next, her very existence depended on how close she could get to him. The touch of his lips freed her mind and made her body soar. The tension gripping her limbs and her lungs melted away in an instant. She shivered involuntarily and her arms tightened around his neck.

Hawk’s mouth moved back and forth over her burning lips, urging them to open. Surrendering to his silent demand, she parted her lips. She heard the groan deep in his throat as he took a fistful of her hair and his tongue plunged deep into the soft recesses of her mouth.

A silent thrill of desire raced through her. She’d never been kissed by a man before. But right now, all fears were forgotten. The trap in which they found themselves became trivial. Miranda allowed the rising hunger she had for him to erupt within her.

Lost in the seductive play of his tongue, the heat of his embrace, and his roaming hand, she responded with passion.

He lifted her higher in his arms and pulled her legs around his hips.

Her body ached for his touch, her heart pounded, and her mind whirled in the closeness of his embrace. Miranda gave another low moan of surrender as he deepened the kiss.

She didn’t know for how long they were lost in the kiss, but when he tore his mouth away, he was as breathless as she had been.

“This is a dangerous game we’ve started,” he said.

She understood what he was saying. It was impossible to not feel his erection pressing against her. Unwrapping her legs from his waist, she tried to float away, but his arm around her waist kept her close.

“I don’t mean to scare you off,” he said. “But you’re too beautiful, too tempting, and I’m a man.” Hawk released his hold on the wall, and they floated together. His gaze never left her face. “But I want you to know you can trust me.”

Even in the dim light of the well, Miranda could see his hazel eyes burning into hers. She’d had no self-control when it came to Hawk and that kiss. It was still somewhat incredible to her that he found her attractive, this man who could have any woman. There was no question in her mind how much he wanted her physically. Only now did she realize how distant any thought of restraint had been. At least one of them had the presence of mind and the sense to stop.

She looked away and the sight of the stone wall immediately brought back some of her anxiety.

“I’m sorry that I panicked,” she said, focusing on him and not the wall or how helpless their situation was, floating at the bottom of that shaft. “I don’t do well in places like this.”

“You’re not to blame for that. But let’s not think of it. We shall get out of here.” He pointed to a row of stones. “Do you see this?”

She looked at the green growth just above the waterline.
