Chapter 12

Bill groggily surfaced. Seven a.m.

Crap! An hour late! He tried to leap into action, but his body totally failed him. Then he remembered where he was. No kids. No lunches to make, no need to double-check they had their homework in their packs.

He rolled over, but there was no one beside him. It was just breaking daylight beyond the lacy curtains. The room he hadn’t seen last night was now lit with a soft light. Everything that was utilitarian in the rest of Perrin’s apartment, had no place here in her bedroom. Here there were warm colors, soft textures. Rather than a closet, rather than just a closet, one whole wall had been turned into shelves and hanging racks. Here were the clothes, both casual and incredible, worn by both the real Perrin and the wild-girl she presented as a smokescreen to distract others.

But where was she?

Even as he struggled to wake up enough to go find her, the bedroom door swung open. An elegant, burl-wood door harp played a cheerful chord as the door bumped lightly against the dresser.

He’d never seen anything like what came walking into the room. Perrin had said she slept in a flannel nightgown. What she hadn’t said was how amazing she looked in one. It was easy to forget how tall she was because she was so slight, but the columnar gown emphasized her length. And her black-and-blond hair stood out even more strongly against the white. The gown was of such fine material, that even the tiny breeze of her forward motion made it wrap and cling against her amazing figure.

And the smile that greeted him wasn’t the least bit tentative. There couldn’t be any question about how they felt, not after last night. Her smile was as luminous as the morning light. Her fine features, so delicate yet so strong.

“Are you ready for some coffee?”

His brain said, “Yes.” But the rest of him had other thoughts. A reaction she clearly noted through the thin layer of the sheet over his bare hips.

“I was hoping that’s how you felt.” She set the tray on her dresser then moved to sit beside him.

When she reached out a hand to brush his cheek, he used it as leverage to drag her against him, crushing his mouth to hers.

She lay down full length upon him and melted against him until they would be one body if not for the thin flow of soft fabric separating them.

“You,” he ran a hand up her magnificent body, “requested a ravage, Ms. Williams. I think it is time you received precisely that.”

“Why Mr. Cullen, that sounds like an absolutely brilliant idea.”

And he did. For a moment, he considered if he should be gentle, not wanting to scare her. Then he imagined her as the Empress—the great, the powerful, the embodiment of woman. What kind of a lover could make the Empress lose herself? A gentle one would please her, but that wasn’t the point of a ravage.

He rolled her onto the bed beside him.
