“Why not?” She could tell he was really trying to understand. “Was it better without me?” Suddenly, the black eyes clouded. “Or do you perceive me as a threat?”
With a start, she pulled away her gaze from temptation. “Yes, I do.” She pursed her lips. “It’s probably got something to do with our childhood.”
“Since I can’t remember…” He smirked regretfully. “Maybe you ought to fill me in.”
“I’m sure you don’t need my share of bad memories.” Her lips curved in bitter awareness. “It’s better if you stick to the pleasant ones in which I don’t appear.”
His head bent on his knees, as if he were trying hard to resist some impulse or simply to take his mind off whatever was gnawing at him. She had noticed, of course, could not help noticing it, his erratic aura speaking louder than any word.
“I’m sorry.” Raising his head, he looked at her remorseful. “I don’t know you, or what your life has been like. I shouldn’t have asked.”
“No, forgive me.” Her heart went out to him. “I shouldn’t have snapped like that. I’m grateful that you gave me the opportunity to do something with my life. Really. I’d have wandered aimlessly in search of…” She shrugged indifferent to how she would have turned out. “Something,” she added eventually, before a stray thought hit her. “And it’s not as bad as it seems.” She giggled uncontrollably. “We’ve been friends before, so I don’t see why we can’t be again.” She spun to him, but her confidence vanished upon realizing how much she wanted to touch him.
Yeah, sure! As if I could ever be friends with someone who turns my stomach upside down simply by looking at him!
Her heart raced. Her thighs tingled. And an insistent thud between her legs was having a devastating effect on the simple task of holding a normal conversation.
“I’m not sure I can think of you as a friend,” was his cold reply.
Of course not. How could I have been such a fool? To think even for one moment that he—
“Damn!” Wrenching her shoulders, he cursed again. “I might regret this for the rest of my life, but the gods know I want more, much more from you.”
Attacking her mouth, his tongue requested an entry she readily gave. Sweeping the warm cavity with forceful strokes, he made her head spin and her body burn for more.
He had no trouble delivering it. Deepening his claim, his tongue reached her throat. So she opened wider to let him have it all.
It belonged to him anyway—body, mind and spirit his for the taking. Like her mouth, ravaged by his tongue’s fiercer onslaughts that cut off her breath. Like her body trembling to have its share of attention.
Pushing her down on the carpet, he flattened her to the ground under his weight.

When Prince Duncan Caldwell loses his way home and knocks on a stranger’s door, looking to find shelter, he doesn’t know his life is about to change forever.
