Jace awoke to the sound of a blue jay scolding, her eyes opening to the pale blue at the edge of morning. Restless hours of fevered fragments drifting through her dreams had left her more tired than when she went to bed.

Drawing in a deep breath, she stretched, the covers falling—

Over bare breasts. She was naked…and her nipples ached slightly.

No. She sat up quickly. It had only been a dream.

But she spotted the black dress draped neatly over the foot of her bed, its gleaming metal zipper a reproach. She clutched the covers to her breasts. Scanning the room, she listened carefully for sounds that she was not alone.

An empty hush greeted her. No one was here.

But—

Open yourself to me. Surrender.

Oh, God. She hadn’t dreamed him, had she? A sudden flash memory of her bare breasts gleaming in the flare of laser lights made Jace shudder.

She rose from the bed and grabbed her robe.

What have I done?

She wrapped her robe tightly, tying the belt with unnecessary force. Clutching the lapels in stiff fingers, she stared at the floor, trying to bring order to a tumble of shutter-fast images.

Take a deep breath. Today is…Saturday. You went to work yesterday. You—

She’d awakened naked. She never slept naked when she was alone.

Someone had undressed her, put her to bed.

Remember, damn it. How did you get home?

Panic rose in greasy waves. Her fingers tightened on the robe, but the dread wouldn’t back down.

Fear propelled her out of the room, into the kitchen, her gaze swiftly scanning to confirm that she was alone. Walking to the cabinet beside the sink, she pulled down a glass and filled it from the faucet, holding it in trembling hands as she swallowed greedily, moistening her sandpaper throat. Small rivulets of water slid from each corner of her mouth and trailed down her neck. She didn’t stop gulping until she’d drained the glass.

Wiping across her mouth with the back of her hand, Jace set the glass down and dried the water trickling over her body with the lapels of her robe, too late to stop one track across her left breast.

A flash of a dark masked head in her vision, his tongue licking hot trails over that same curve, then fastening on her nipple…

Jace felt once again the raw moan that had seemed to writhe upward from her belly, the hunger that had been a living thing inside her.

She moaned aloud now, and sank to the floor, huddling into a ball.

What have I done?
