CHAPTER THIRTEEN

SHARNI’S lips betrayed her. They should have stayed firmly shut. Instead, they flowered open, welcoming the savage invasion of Adrian’s tongue.

He pressed his body against her, squashing her breasts flat, his legs spread wide so that his hips were at the same height as hers. She felt his erection dig into the soft curves of her stomach, felt her outrage disintegrate as desire took over. She moaned softly into his mouth, the sound one of abject surrender.

His letting her go was as unexpected as it was by then unwanted.

Her arms dropped limply to her sides as she stared up at him.

‘Don’t you ever tell me again that you don’t want me,’ he ground out, his expression tight and angry. ‘I could have you right here and now. The only reason I’m stopping is to show you that I’m not here just for the sex. I care about you, damn it. And I’m not leaving this house till you believe me,’ he pronounced, stunning her further by moving over to fling the front door shut.

‘I don’t care how long it takes,’ he added, turning to face her once more with implacable blue eyes. ‘But right now, I need to go to the bathroom. Then I could do with a cup of coffee. It’s been a long hard drive.’

When she didn’t answer him, or move, Adrian took matters into his own hands, striding off down the hallway in search of the bathroom.

The open doorway on his left revealed a living room, the one on the right a bedroom.

The next door on the right was shut, Adrian presuming this had to be the bathroom. But when he went to open it, Sharni screamed out, ‘No!’ and came charging down the hallway after him, snatching his hand from the door knob and slamming the door shut again.

‘That’s not the bathroom,’ she said sharply. ‘It’s in here,’ she added, moving along to throw open the next door on the right. ‘When you’re finished, the kitchen is at the end of the hallway. I’ll go make you that coffee.’

Adrian frowned as she hurried off, his curiosity sparked as to what lay behind that other shut door. In a cottage this size, it could only be another bedroom. What could it possibly contain that she didn’t want him to see?

He couldn’t think of a single thing.

It was probably just a mess, he decided during his visit to the old-fashioned bathroom. The way the outside of the house was a mess.

The kitchen wasn’t a mess. It was a large, country-style room that smelt of recent cleaning. The cupboards were pine, the counter tops painted a dark green. A round table and four chairs sat in the middle of the cork-tiled floor, a wood-burning heater occupying the hearth in one corner. A small flat-screen television—not turned on—sat on top of the surprisingly small fridge. A wide rectangular window stretched over the sink, which looked out over a covered veranda and a tree-covered valley beyond.

Sharni was standing in front of that window with her back to him, her slender shoulders hunched and tense.
