"Did I hurt you?" he asked, his voice rough-edged.

She stirred a little, then settled in his embrace once more. "No." His intrusion into her body had been shocking, but there hadn't been pain, only primitive joy.

She didn't seem angry, either, but lay in his arms with the sensuous lassitude of a thoroughly loved woman. Of all the reactions he had expected, this voluptuous yielding hadn't been one of them, and it was all the more beguiling because he was taken by surprise. This was one reaction he didn't think he would ever tire of.

"I brought the sponges," he said wryly, his mouth quirking with an ironic smile. He hadn't even given a thought to them, and in any case he couldn't have restrained himself.

She opened her eyes and gave him a heavy-lidded stare. "Did you think they would do a lot of good in your pocket?" she asked. Then she sat up with curiosity on her face. "What do they look like?"

He maneuvered her and stretched out his leg so he could get his hand in his pocket, and he withdrew the small sponges. She looked at them lying in his callused palm, picked one up, and squeezed it between her fingers, then gave it back to him. "They're just regular sponges," she said, visibly disappointed. He grinned a little, knowing that she had been expecting something far more exotic and frankly wicked.

"I know. I expect it's the vinegar that does the job."

"Well, it's too late now."

"But it won't be the next time."

She gave him another of those green, heavy-lidded looks. "Unless you come at me again like the bull on one of the cows."

"Since the next time isn't very far in the future, I think I can promise that," he said.

"I have to do the chores."

"I'll help."

They were back in bed within the hour, their naked bodies twining with the steadily building tension. The small vinegar-soaked sponge sat in a dish next to the bed. When neither of them could wait a minute longer he showed her how to insert the sponge, his long fingers reaching deep inside her and almost carrying her to completion without him. They made love until they were both exhausted, and Lucas pulled the sheet up over them just before he dozed off, his arms wrapped protectively around her slender form.

He was contented all the way to his bones.

When they woke up he wanted to make love to her again. He was startled when she tried to squirm away from him. "I don't want to," she said fretfully.

"Damn if you aren't the most contrary woman I've ever seen," he muttered. " Why don't you want to?"

She shrugged, her mouth sulky. "I just don't want you holding me down again right now."
