Chapter 11

“Dress yourself.”

The command was harsh and hot, coming from him on a voice full of unrelieved need and finally

making her fully aware of the fact that he intended to put an end to their interlude. To say she

was shocked was a poor representation. Flabbergasted was more like it. An impact that was

quickly chased by a hundred other emotional reactions just as wildly skewed and confused.

“But…” She couldn’t even fathom how to argue with him just then. All she knew was how

viciously deprived she felt without his heat and passion burning into her. One of her nipples was

abraded by his teeth and tongue, making it far more sensitive to the air of the room and making

her so very aware of how it had felt to have him there. The long length of her body curved

restlessly with unspent passion; she longed to draw him back to her and sought in her mind how

she could do that—even as she struggled with the sense of relief rushing through her.

Discombobulated by the conflicting desires, she sought Julian’s help and guidance.

“I don’t understand you!” The snap in her voice came off harsher than she meant it, but

frustration was getting the better of her. She reached to scoop up her dress, jerking it on over her

head so roughly she was lucky she didn’t tear the delicate fabric. “You’ve been harping on me

since daybreak about how much you want to make love to me, and when you finally get the

chance, you walk off and treat me like I have the fucking plague! What kind of sick game is

this?”

“Why don’t you tell me!” He rounded on her, getting up in her face. “You bitch at me about how

you aren’t just a body for mating with and making babies, but you throw yourself at me offering

nothing but your sex to me! Tell me why I shouldn’t be confused and pissed off!”

“I…” Asia suddenly saw his point and she felt a little sick in her stomach. “I couldn’t help it,”

she argued lamely. “It just comes over me when you touch me. And it isn’t against the law for

me to get turned on when that’s what you are trying to do to me! You want to talk about

confused? You start pawing me, get me all wound up, but somehow it’s still not enough for you!

If you want to fuck, then let’s do it! Let’s feed the masses, Julian. Put all your troubles and

worries to rest. C’mon, I’m game.”

He laughed. It was a bitter, hard sound, but it was a laugh just the same. “You just don’t get it.

I’m beginning to think you never will.”

He turned his back on her and started up the spiral ramp leading to the upper level of the house.

“Hey!”

She hurried after him, reaching the landing just as she grabbed hold of him around one bicep and

yanked really hard to turn him toward her. He emitted a frustrated growl, all but roaring in her

face as he came around to face her.

“I thought you said you didn’t want to
