Chapter Eight

Neal didn’t swear; he knew it would be useless, just as he knew he could no longer fight. In defeat, in recognition of everything he craved, his arms closed tight around Candace. For one precious instant he held her with a strength born of an intrinsic fear of losing the one thing, the one person, he wanted more than life itself.

Years of denial were unlocked; years of dreaming were, literally, in his grasp ready to enjoy. If only for this one night, he could take without thought to right or wrong. If only for this one moment out of time, he would not question whether he deserved this rare and priceless gift. He would take all she offered. And live the rest of his life with the memory.

As his mouth sampled and tasted, his hands dove under her shirt. He groaned as he felt the warmth and softness of bare skin. He shuddered when he filled his hand with her breast. He molded her, squeezing, tantalizing them both by bringing her nipples to a tight peak.

She was restless under his searching hands, moving as if she couldn’t get close enough to him. The thought had him lifting his head, his passion fueled by her moan at the loss of his mouth. With impatience bordering on desperation, he all but ripped the shirt off her.

She didn’t gasp in surprise or indignation; she didn’t shrink away or try to cover herself in any way; she simply waited for him, her eyes open only a fraction and her breath coming in quick scattered pants. Knowing she had surrendered to him with an abandon he hadn’t dared dream possible, his mouth replaced his hand on her breast.

She arched, her hips slamming into his. He suckled, licked, and whispered his lips over first one breast and then the other. Each taste left him greedy for more.

Though she accepted, followed wherever he took her, she didn’t remain docile. She tugged his shirt free of his waistband while her nails scraped and bit into his back as he continued to feast on the taste and texture that was uniquely her. Her kisses roamed his cheek and forehead, as if seeking to taste every inch of him. She measured the pulse of his heart jumping in his throat with her lips.

She murmured his name, a low keening sound that encouraged him to do more.

Forgotten was any further reflection on their past or their differences; dismissed was any thought of how she’d been so cruelly treated at the hands of the wrong man; ignored were their surroundings. All that mattered in this one glorious moment was she belonged to him.

It was more than urgency that drove him now; it was desperation. The frantic desperation to claim her battled the torment of wanting to extend this glory for as long as humanly possible. And if it meant giving his soul to the devil for this opportunity, Neal was prepared to be damned for all eternity.

His hand trailed down and his fingers stroked the inside of her thigh.
