CHAPTER TWELVE

Any tiredness Fulton had felt had vanished. Between the sight of Sophie in her thin chemise and the words she murmured through those full lips, Fulton had never felt more alive.

And God help him, he’d love to watch Sophie break apart while he touched her, kissed her. He was going to worship her…in a minute.

First, they needed to discuss Terre di San and her future.

“What do we need to make clear?” she asked as she slid her hands over his neck and tangled her fingers in his hair.

He captured her mouth again, but this touch wasn’t a gentle brush. He didn’t sip… He sealed their mouths together, drinking from her like a drowning man.

And Sophie, true to her word, didn’t seem the least bit frightened. In fact, as their tongues tangled, she slid back onto the bed, inviting him to come with her.

His body covered hers in a possessive stance that filled him with as much need to protect as it did desire.

Which was the reason he ripped his mouth away. “I’ve changed my mind.”

Her chemise had ridden up, her legs mostly free. They’d each wrapped about his so that he was pulled tight into the cradle of her thighs. “About sleeping in bed with me?”

No. That, he hadn’t changed his mind about in the least. She was likely to hate him even more afterward, but her ill will was inevitable. What mattered was that she promised to continue to live under his protection.

She might hate him, but he’d keep her safe. That was a promise he could make and one he’d extract from her as well. “No,” he murmured against her lips. “About what happens after.”

Her brow furrowed as she pushed her head deeper into the pillow. “I told you that nothing will happen after.”

He held her jaw in his hand, her silky skin sliding against his rough palm. “You did. But I’m telling you that I’ve changed my mind about giving you a job.”

Her eyes widened, her lips parting in surprise. “What?”

“I’m going to hire you to help set my vineyard to rights. You’ll—” But he didn’t get a chance to finish because she tightened her arms about his neck, and then their mouths crashed together.

This time it was Sophie who kissed him with a frenzied need that stole his breath. Her hands slid down his back and then back in his hair, her legs tight about his own, their hips grinding together.

She whimpered underneath him and for the briefest moment, he worried that he was hurting her.

But when he rose to look down into her eyes, she tightened her grip. “Don’t stop.”

Her eyes were hooded and hazy, a flush covering her cheeks and her mouth, her already pouty lips were so swollen. He kissed her again, with no less passion but a bit more calculation as he slid his lips over her jaw and down her neck.

He still held her cheek in one hand, but with the other, he began working her chemise up over her head.
