Chapter Five

Although she didn’t realize, at first, what it was, the sensation of being watched woke Samantha. Confused, she opened her eyes slowly. As her vision focused, she discovered that Gerard was seated in the chair at the desk near her bed.

He stood up. In an almost leisurely fashion, he began to disrobe, tossing each article of clothing to one side without glancing to see where they landed.

Samantha’s heart skidded to a halt, then leapt into a frantic pace. Her mouth went dry at the purposefulness of his expression. It never occurred to her to protest. A sense of glad anticipation filled her as he advanced toward her. Her flesh tingled. Her nipples rose, hardened, throbbed. Her belly tightened, flooding her feminine passage with hot lubrication as he placed a knee upon the edge of the bed and flipped the covers away from her.

She stared up at him as he paused, mesmerized by the sheer beauty of his form as moonlight, streaming through her window, glinted off of the play of muscles with every breath he took, every slightest movement.

Capturing her wrists, he tugged her upright.

Samantha stared into the gleaming eyes of a predator and still could not find voice to protest.

“I may be twice damned,” he muttered, “but I cannot stay away.”

It delighted her. Resolutely, she closed her mind to the little voice in her head that pointed out that he yearned for life itself, had been deprived of it for centuries. His desire might have all to do with that and nothing to do with her. With an effort, she pushed the warnings from her mind, and the hopelessness of the situation, even if his feelings were indeed for her alone.

His words sent a thrill of need through her and Samantha leaned toward him, tilting her head upward. A faint cleft creased his chin. She traced the indentation with her tongue and lightly nibbled the edge of his chin with her teeth.

He caught her face between his palms, covering her mouth with ravenous urgency that made the muscles in her belly jump and clench. Samantha ran her palms along his biceps and then downward along his sides. His flesh was warm, silky smooth, the underlying muscles taut and hard—his body was lithe like the body of a dancer—or swordsman, as he had no doubt been in his time.

Like duelers, their tongues danced one along the other, entwined, stroked. His breath came hard and fast. Her own struggled from her chest and their breaths mingled as they kissed, each sharing their essence with the other, feeling their desire reeling out of control.

He broke the kiss, skating his hands down her throat and over her shoulders, following with his mouth. Samantha dug her fingers into him as a rush of heat washed over her skin, making it hypersensitive to the touch, as if she was flushed with fever.

It had become a fever. She ached. His touch soothed the needs of her flesh and at the same time made her body demand more.
