Chapter 9

He was draining her. Draining all the energy out of her body and replacing it with a need so huge, so boundless, it threatened to burst out of her and take over the entire room.

Elizabeth dug her fingertips into his shoulders, channeling the tension she felt. She tried desperately to regain some semblance of control before she just gave herself up to Cole completely without so much as an effort to hold on.

Because she wanted to.

Wanted to finally feel that dizzying rapture she’d heard called lovemaking. Beneath the carefully orchestrated, sophisticated facade she wore, she believed in every silly little love song, every romantic movie, every passage she’d ever read within a book that talked about the magic that went along with wanting someone.

Because she knew magic was real.

She felt it in her veins. How else to describe the things that she could do?

Mysterious things that defied explanation were possible. Magic was possible. And she wanted to feel the magic.

If only she could feel it and still somehow be in control. Because control, so newly found, meant everything to her. She wanted the power of her own independence, wanted to be the mistress of her own destiny, and this man, this feeling, this rush threatened to sweep it all away from her.

“I want you,” Cole murmured against her lips as she began to draw away.

She let her eyes close as she absorbed the sensuousness of his words. If her heart beat any harder, it was going to take off on its own, break the sound barrier as it went.

Elizabeth opened her eyes and looked at him. His face was less than an inch away from hers. It took her a moment to gather herself together, to try to form words when all she wanted to do was cry, “Yes!”

“I know,” she finally said, just barely succeeding in keeping the sigh from escaping.

They were standing so close, Cole could taste the words sliding along his lips. He’d left himself open, vulnerable, and that wasn’t good. He’d never done that before.

And wasn’t about to ever do it again.

It didn’t change the fact that what he’d told her was true. He wanted her. Wanted her in the best, in the worst way.

“But?” he prodded, hearing the word silently follow the others.

She gave him the best excuse she could manage at the moment. “But I have to concentrate.”

Cole tried to discern if she was being serious, or if this was her way of flirting. “You don’t have to levitate me.”

“No, I mean about tomorrow. I think I should get some rest.” Before I forget all about being level-headed and just jump your bones.

That was what she was afraid of, that she was a victim of freshly unleashed hormones. There was no more Anthony to grab her by the arm and drag her away every time her interest was piqued.

And she had to remember there were consequences for every action.

Something warned her that the consequences here were far from minor. For one thing, her heart was in danger of being forever lost.
