CHAPTER SEVEN

‘WAITING FOR ME?’ Unlike his her voice vibrated with her feelings. ‘Why? To apologise for your totally unfounded accusations this afternoon?’

Mild hysteria cramped her stomach as he turned and she saw his face. His voice had deceived her—totally—she could see now that he was blazingly, furiously angry.

‘Apologise? For what? Preventing you from sating your lust for physical satisfaction?’

It was the ugly, jeering sound of his voice that did it, that and the derogatory look in his eyes. She flew at him like a wildcat, raising her hand to strike his face and then when the grip of his fingers manacling her wrist prevented her, using her nails instead.

She heard the indrawn hiss of his breath and felt him recoil with a savage sense of pleasure. The thunder outside seemed to be echoed by the tumultuous pounding of her blood as it beat through her body. She was in the grip of a feeling as primitive and elemental as the storm itself, too intent on her own fierce need to draw blood to even think of the consequences until she found herself flat on her back on her bed, with Lyle bending over her, his face contorted in a mask of rage.

It was his need to punish her for daring to attack her that was responsible for the indignity of her present position; sprawled out on her bed, with the heavy weight of Lyle’s body keeping her there, his breathing harsh and uneven, whether from rage or exertion she wasn’t quite sure. She squirmed beneath him, her own anger burning as high as his, and then stilled in mute shock as she felt his body’s reaction to her.

For a moment as their glances tangled in mutual recognition it seemed to Jessica that he too was shocked and then the shock was gone and his hands were on her shoulders, pinning her against the bed, his mouth fierce and bitter as it took hers.

Close at hand now the thunder crashed and rolled, its urgency mirrored in the febrile excitement heating her blood. She could tell that Lyle felt it too. His mouth moved on hers in relentless, feverish need that her mind told her had nothing to do with any gentle emotion, but which her body, fiercely exultant, would not let her heed.

She felt Lyle’s hands slide down her rib cage, gripping her almost bruisingly as he tugged her T-shirt free of her jeans, and part of her brain fought free of desire long enough for her to register how much she wanted the touch of his hands against her skin.

Her body arched willingly, helping him to remove her thin top and bra.

Now it was almost dark outside, the lightning that suddenly split the sky almost overhead illuminating her naked breasts, turning her skin a pagan gold.

She heard the tormented, aroused sound of Lyle’s indrawn breath, her body quivering on the verge of intense pleasure as he cupped her breasts, holding them as reverently as though they were indeed made of that most precious of metals.
