Chapter 10
The clock struck midnight and she placed the book down. She could not sleep. The situation with Dominic had been going so well, but she could not think of the logic of her rejection. She knew it was more than what he said, but she could not for the life of her think of what it was.
She rose from the bed, heading to the shower. While the windows were open, the usual chill from the ocean seemed still and unmoving.
She turned the shower tap on, almost screaming in shock at the coldness of the water, but she endured, hoping the chilled water would give her relief from the heat she was experiencing inside.
When she was done, she lay on the bed, channeling her thoughts to brighter things, but still Dominic’s image came to mind.
She rose from the bed. She’d go to him. She needed to talk to him.
She walked swiftly along the corridor, her footsteps vibrating against the floor. She slowed her speed. She did not want to wake the whole household, but quickly remembered that Mrs. Clarke lived in the left wing of the house.
When she reached Dominic’s room, she knocked quietly. There was no response. After a few minutes, she turned to walk away, but heard the turning of the lock.
She turned around and he was standing there. Her heart stopped.

“What you said was not true. I miss my husband, but all I have are fond memories. I’ve been ready to move on for a while, but I’ve had no real reason to. But you have changed all of that.” She reached for his hand, placing his palm against the mound of her womanhood.
“Feel this. I feel something for you. I need to feel you.”
Despite his arousal, he hesitated. A fact that disappointed her, but when he stepped forward, she sighed in relief.
She melted against him, loving his firm, hard body. She placed her hands against his chest, feeling the rapid beat of his heart. There was something unexpectedly calming and exciting about the pulsing underneath. She felt an unexpected connection to him.
She tilted her head upward, wanting to feel his lips on hers, taste the sweet power of his assault. He did not take long to oblige. His mouth covered hers, and immediately his tongue slipped between her lips, sending shivers of excitement down her spine and a molten heat through her body. She could feel the length and width of his
