CHAPTER NINE

For an incalculable amount of time nothing happened.

Reynaldo was frozen in place, too overcome to even move. And then she looked up. Slowly met his gaze...and sucked him right into an unbeknownst realm of wonder. Hammering beats filled his ears. Each breath was harshly indrawn and swiftly exhaled. Her eyes widened as he gazed into them. The color altered. They’d been green, but now they resembled vats of molten copper. Just as bright. And just as hot. Her fingers quivered next, sending electric signals that not only sparked through his skin, they burned. But it was her step toward him that was the real catalyst.

And that’s when pandemonium ensued.

Every bond he’d put in place ruptured. Reynaldo responded like a beast sprung from a cage. He snatched her to him and swooped backward with her locked in his arms. Her gasp was audible. So was his. But he followed with a lengthy howl that tore his throat. Shockwaves resounded through the area. All but a few candles were instantly extinguished. Small trinkets clattered and fell. Fireplace flames shot up chimneys. Chandeliers gyrated on chains, sending tiny shafts of light that brought the ceiling paintings to life.

Moments later he was facing her chamber door, Simone cradled against one side, while the other hand held her cello case. And he didn’t remember how or when he’d even grabbed for it.

“Um. Reynaldo?”

Her nose was against his cheek, her lips grazing his jaw. Air from her whispered query snuck around his cravat to caress his throat. Reynaldo levitated, but somehow managed to keep from smacking into the hall ceiling. He dropped back to the hall floor, bent knees taking the impact. This was incredulous. Intense. Frightening.

He grunted. Felt her lips against his skin again. His knees sagged. The cello case beneath his arm kept them upright.

“How do you...um?”

She didn’t finish and he waited. Tensed. Trembling. Alert and aware. He’d been right about the fabric of her gown, too. Two of his fingers had ripped through the waist of it, putting him in contact with her skin. That sent combustible signals pulsating through his one-word response.

“Yes?”

“Move...so fast?”

She didn’t sound scared. She should. Alarm choked him. Stilled his tongue. Stopped any answer. She wouldn’t understand. He couldn’t even grasp it. He was in the grip of something so massive it defied every description. He’d been without sensation for so long! And now he had to deal with too much of it - in too many places – at once. His heart pounded. His skin itched. Every muscle burned. His head spun. But his groin was the real issue. His cazzo was aroused to a painful status. Thoroughly primed. Beyond ready.

He needed to explain all kinds of things to her. But right now, he was out of time.

“Never mind!” she answered herself. “This is a dream! It doesn’t have to make sense. All it needs to do is keep going!”

“Si—mone—!”

The name was split in two, the last half an octave higher. Because she’d touched his ear with her tongue!

Reynaldo jumped.
