The puzzle of hoould stop it froo unanswered for now, but ure it out and the truth would come to her

She was also worried that he would be able to tell soin, and she didn't want him to know He seemed to have all the anshen she had none, and the only thing she could think to do to keep this happening between theree with him

"All right," she said softly, "Thank you"

She didn't want hi, so she put her lips back on his and softly kissed hiht her how to do

She wasn't to get her wish because after a few small kisses, his ripped her hips in a vise that was almost painful "Emma," he whispered, "You're so beautiful"

E in her veins just from his kisses She didn't kno she'd be able to stand it when he took off his own clothes and held her naked body to him

"I want you to pro" His voice held a ruthless intensity, a deree with him and she opened her eyes to look at his

"Yes, anything" E

"Promise that you'll only think of me Don't think of him when I'm inside of you"

Eh her If she hadn't lied, he wouldn't be worried But if she hadn't lied, the chances of this happening were al "I promise, Luke It's just you"

She stopped thinking altogether when he took her hands in his and firmly pulled them apart until he could see her naked chest He watched her silently for a moment, the only noise in the roos as they watched each other and arousal flared between them

He stood up and pulled the quilt to the foot of the bed and then lifted her and set her in the center He turned to the bedside table and lit the kerosene lalow possible

Emma had already taken cover under the quilt and pulled it up to her chin and held it in front of her as she watched him "Why do we need the lamp?"

"I want to see you," he answered as his fingers went to the buttons of his shirt and he began undoing theot to the bottoed it off his shoulders and let it fall to the floor His eyes never left hers the entire time

He sat on the edge of the bed and pulled off his boots and then quickly stood and unbuckled the low-riding gunbelt He pulled if froun and belt on the bedside table

With his back still to her, his hands went to his waist and Emma realized with shock that he was about to open his buttons and take off his jeans She tried to turn her head, she tried to close her eyes but she couldn't and her gaze stayed on hi at a time

She'd never considered what a naked ht of his nude backside wasshe'd ever hoped for He was , his buttocks the ether pleasing and masculine way Her heartbeat accelerated as he turned and without a pause, pulled back the covers and climbed in next to her

He'd done it so quickly his front side had been a blur, and she only just had a vague look at e that would have been threatening had she seen it for more than one second

But just thetrepidation down her spine

E on her back and when he pulled down the quilt, her hands went to her breasts again

Luke stretched out next to her on his side and propped himself up on one elbow, and watched her with heat in his eyes He reached out his free hand and ran it gently back and forth across the hands that covered her chest "Let me see, baby"

Hot, molten lava ran down Emma's body frohs, but she didn't move

Hot brown eyes held hers "I can seduce you into ue dipped out and he licked his lips as his eyes fell to her breasts again "But I don't want to do that I want you to give in to ly of your own accord"

Emma shuddered and then took a deep breath "Is it all about what you want, Luke?" she asked softly as her eyes held his

He began shaking his head back and forth, ever so slowly "No, it's not It's about what you want, too What do you want, Eer moved from the hands that covered her breasts down to the top of her pantalets and pushed his finger into the silken slit of her navel

Easped at the sensation and Luke leaned in and kissed her lips once, and then twice "What do you want, Eer circled around her navel, dipped in, and then continued to repeat the entire process

"I don't know," she said against his lips

"Sure you do, baby You want me to sink into you so deeply you won't knohere you end and I begin" Hisinto her ain, in a rhythm of strokes unlike any he had shown her before

She began panting against him immediately
