His hand slid to hers "I’, sweetheart"

"So am I," she whispered

"I don’t believe that"

"Then you’re looking too hard for so that’s not there"

"I don’t think so"

"If I can be saved then so can you"

His lips twisted cynically "We aren’t even in the same universe Believe me I’m lost You can still be found"

"You sound so sure" She reached up and stroked his hair froan to fall fro it forward Every time she touched him, his entire body burned She had no idea how much willpower it required for hi, hot night "I wonder," she conteet lost in forever, "if maybe we should both try to save each other and then in the ht, in thehe’d fly her off to some tropical paradise, away from this wicked winter hell of Alvarez’s world, and convince her she never has to cootiation…

Blake’s mouth came down on hers, and this time he didn’t hold back He wanted to save her She wanted to save him She didn’t have a chance where he was concerned, but the wicked heat of her kiss, the delicate play of her tongue against his, sure as hell would go a long way in helping hiht

His hand slid down her neck, over the soft silk of her shoulder and he tugged her bra strap doith him Her skin was cool and he was hot He wanted her hot in a nearly consuical but he really didn’t care His mouth traveled the delicate line of her shoulder blade and doard Her fingers played in his hair, her touch affecting him far too easily, but then there wasn’t a lot of softness he let in his life Normally, he’d snatch her hand, and hold it over her head He’d do the touching, not her, so asn’t he doing that now? Why wasn’t he stopping her? Why the hell was he lingering at the sweet spot at the base of her throat when he could be ripping away her panties and burying hie before he’d ever et what he wanted, what he’d craved for two years Knowing he was still too far away His need for an escape, for so hi, need to save this woers traced the clip in the center of her bra and unsnapped it, closer to having her completely bared to hi, and screa his nah, full brsts with his hands She arched into him, and moaned when his mouth closed down on the rosy peek of one nipple He took his ti her, rather than ravishing her, slowly kissing his way doard, until he peeled her panties down her hips

Soht of the dark, well-groohs He slid off of the bed, and took the panties all the way down her legs, at the sa her towards hi brown eyes ith eain – just a hint of trepidation No ht with a stranger wasn’t the noraze raked over her lush brsts, his ck thick and pulsing, and he tugged his shirt over his head and got rid of it He tossed one of her high-heels and then the other "No shoes, keeps you fro away"

"Then maybe you better take yours off," she commented

"I never run"

"Neither do I," she said "But even the score Shoes off"

His lips quirked at her challenge and he gladly co her feet back on his thighs

"Not yet," she said "But I have high hopes I will be"

He laughed at that bold statement She was a contradiction of fearless and fearful that intrigued him "You will be," he promised, and one by one, he rolled the lace-topped silk slices down her legs, skis The wo to be right here, opening her legs to him And open she did as he settled one delicate instep on each of his shoulders

He stroked a finger down her core and her legs quivered "Slick and hot," he approved "You sure feel like you want to be saved"

"I’m not sure saved is the word-"

Blake buried his face between her thighs, and suckled her nub She gasped in surprise and he watched her fall back onto theinto the co at her, delicately teasing and licking, even as his finger slid insider her, stroking her And she unraveled for him, oh yeah she did Soft moans and sweet nectar that were so sexy and perfect he could have licked her all night, but she wasn’t having it She shattered for hiainst hisher face, again with a contradiction The bold beauty who’d challenged him to please her and now the shy beauty who’d just been pleased Blake wasn’t having any part of her hiding fro to influence her, and clearly sex had becoet to her, he needed to connect beyond an orgasm
