Chapter Seven

Alexander saw the moment the small girl full of romantic ideas about love vanished, and the practical woman returned. “I’m sorry.”

He moved his empty plate out of the way and reached his hand toward hers on the table and took it in his. At his touch, Ravenna locked eyes with him, her black pupils liquid with unshed tears. Her fake smile dimmed and he saw through her again, sensing the hurt and the shame she had experienced as if they were his own. He got up from his chair and rounded the table to stand beside her. Without saying another word, he pulled her up and embraced her. His hands roamed up and down her back, caressing her, soothing her. He kissed the crown of her head and rocked her. She let him. Earlier, he had teased her because he needed to teach her she could burn with desire and act upon it by, for once, letting someone else, him, take care of her. But he had been burnt as well, caught in his game as much as she had been. His body had ached the whole time with unsatisfied need. The intensity of his longing to feel her, the whole of her, had grown steadily. Now, his core was a supernova. He would implode if he didn’t take her. This first time, the table would do.

His cell phone rang from his jeans rear pocket as he was about to put his thoughts into action.

“Are you going to answer that?” She pressed on his arm.

He groaned out loud, then reached for his cell to silence it, but it had stopped ringing. “It wasn’t important.” He gently pushed her toward the edge of the table, but another cell phone started ringing. “Ignore it.” He raised her chin with a finger and lowered his mouth to hers. One arm looped around her back, the other behind her head, he slowly took the two of them down, mindfully avoiding the dishes and glasses. He released a breath of relief when the cell phone stopped ringing and he felt Ravenna relax in his arms. His hand went to the hem of her skirt and raised it to uncover her lacy garters. He passed his fingers under a garter and snapped the hose free from its hooks, trying to slow down when he would have ripped her clothes.

The land line rang next. And his cell phone. He swore.

“Alexander?” Ravenna’s hair fanned all over the table and was tussled, her mouth red and moist, her eyes wide. She blinked. “It might be important.”

“It better be.” He raised himself from her soft body, regretting it immediately. With one hand he helped her up as he fished for his cell phone with the other. He saw the caller’s name and swore again, knowing the moment was ruined. “What do you want, Samuel?”

The land line was now silent, but Ravenna’s mobile was buzzing anew. He didn’t want her to move away from him and gently squeezed her hand.

“You must drive to Santa Severa Castle.
