He must have finally dozed off because he awoke to find he had taken Katherine into his arms at some point in the night. He kept his eyes tightly shut as the bundle he was holding released a sigh and pressed into him. Was she aware of what she was doing? Her rhythmic breathing suggested not. His body tightened as she moaned in her sleep. This was exquisite torture.

Despite his best resolutions his hand slowly traced the length of her spine. She moved closer still, bringing her face near to his, her breath warm across his lips. He opened his eyes. Early morning light came in through a gap in the roof. This close, Jarin could make out a faint smattering of freckles across her cheekbones.

‘Katherine,’ he murmured. ‘Are you awake?’

‘Mmm-hmm,’ was the unintelligible reply.

Her lips were gently parted, her soft breath continued to whisper over his skin.

‘Oh, Katherine,’ he murmured, as desire, hot and thick, raced through him.

Gently he placed his lips against hers, stealing the softest of kisses before moving away. Her mouth followed his, capturing a kiss of her own. He couldn’t stop the groan of desire that escaped him. Her eyes flickered open and in the weak morning light her eyes were liquid gold.

Before he could think too much he reached over and traced the length of her delicate jaw with his fingertips. The tip of her tongue licked her upper lip and he was lost. He closed the gap between them and pressed his mouth to hers. After the briefest of pauses, her mouth began to move under his.

His fingers stole into her hair at the nape of her neck as he began to kiss her properly, fighting to keep his movements light while his body roared to consume her completely. Slowly, she relaxed into him, her body becoming flush with his. This time he didn’t move away to hide his body’s reaction as his cock pressed against her stomach. He scrambled to remember she was innocent, but it was hard when his body was clamouring for him to remove the clothes that separated them and to feel her soft skin against his.

She gasped at the first sweep of his tongue, but she quickly caught on and reacted with a passion that swept him away.

The hard, dirty floor melted away as his world became lips and tongues. He growled as her hand swept into his hair and held him tightly in place. His fingers stole back from the nape of her neck and gently traced the curve of her collarbone.

It had been so long since he’d had a woman in his arms, so long since he’d felt even the slightest stirrings of desire. Despite all his high-handed resolutions he missed it. Missed the way it made him feel alive.

He heard her whimper as his hand moved down the front of her dress to caress her breast. She arched into his touch and through the fabric he brushed her pert nipple with his thumb.
