Trying to calm her jackhammering pulse rate, Nikki gulped in breaths of air and clung to Shakir.

When she could finally speak, her voice was a raspy, whispery disaster. “I’d never forgotten for one day how wonderful it feels to have you inside me. Not for one second.”

He raised his head and stared down at her. “This was a mistake.”

That wasn’t what she wanted to hear. Not now when every cell in her body craved words of love.

Rolling off her, Shakir found the discarded Bedouin dress and held it out. “Let me help you get dressed. We need to listen and pay attention. The soldiers shouldn’t be in the paddock with the horses much longer. We have to be ready to move.”

With a sated body but a bruised ego, Nikki slipped the heavy material over her head and retied the belt at her hips. How could he treat their lovemaking so cavalierly? She felt sure that it had meant something to him. His eyes had told the story he now refused to tell.

She couldn’t help it, her heart was wounded by his silence and she wanted to press him in return. “Why haven’t you ever married, Shakir? I’m sure there were lots of women who would’ve been thrilled at the prospect.”

“There were a few women over the years.”

“But none that interested you enough for marriage? That’s strange. You asked me, why not one of them?”

He shrugged into his backpack and glanced up at the window, ignoring her. “Because none of them were you.”
