himself so much for too long.
He could never live with himself if Kate died like Gloria. He couldn t face an eternal
half-life buried under the guilt. But he couldn t face an eternal life without her, as
Sander s slave. He wasn t strong enough to let her go.
Paul saw only one alternative, and it terrified him. She won t like my plan, but it is
the only way. She ll see that. She ll understand.
The demon sent another wave of nausea and vehement disagreement through him.
Cut it out, he muttered. How am I supposed to make love with her if you are
trying to make me puke?
Immediately the swirl of discomfort subsided. For whatever reason, the demon
wanted this as much as he did. Of course, when it ended, the demon would have
everything.
He turned off the water, dried himself with the towel she had so thoughtfully
provided. She d thought of everything: toothbrush, clothes, shoes in four different sizes,
though all of them too small.
The sensation of the towel rubbing over his chest and thighs was only making him
harder. His skin was that eager. His nerve endings screamed like baby birds in a nest.
I ll tell her my plan before we do anything else. If she can t go through with it, then
I ll leave.
He didn t bother with the clothes yet, just wrapped the towel around his waist. He
wiped the steam from the mirror with his palm, smoothed back his damp hair, checked
his teeth.
I ll tell her my plan, and then she can choose if she wants to make love or not.
He put his hand on the doorknob.
What the hell am I doing?
He dropped the towel, and opened the door.
Chapter Seventeen
The bathroom door opened. Kate came to her feet.
Paul was not wearing the gray t-shirt or the sweat pants. Or the tightie whities. Or
anything at all, except for whorls of still-damp hair on his chest and stomach and thighs.
Wow. Her tongue stuck to the roof of her suddenly dry mouth.
He tilted an eyebrow.
I mean, I m so glad to see everything is the right size& I mean just your style.
His other eyebrow lifted.
You look great. You look& He was fully erect. & great.
Oh God, I am the biggest, dumbest geek on the planet. She had to stop talking, or he
would get dressed and leave.
Kate.
He was naked and saying her name in a low tone that made her think of wood smoke
and red wine and distant summer thunderstorms. Her pulse doubled, and she seemed to
grow extra hearts: one in her throat, one at the tip of each finger, and one between her
thighs.
He moved out of the bathroom doorway and she moved away from the staircase,
until some invisible force stopped them an arm s length apart.
Kate, he said again, and she saw it in his eyes. Some question, some condition, that
was going to ruin this. There s something&
No.
Kate&
There s nothing that matters right now except this. She lifted her right hand, which
she couldn t stop from quivering, to the first pearl button of her bodice.
His eyes followed the movement and he sucked in a deep breath. Kate, I have to&
No, you don t. Fumbling only a little, she popped the first button, the second, the
third.
A tremor ran the length of Paul s body, from shoulders to hips. Kate&
He was going to insist on something stupid like her promising not to try Vern s plan,
or rationalizing why she should just let him go and forget him. Then, instead of making
love, they would spend the morning fighting, and she was not going to let that happen.
Kate, I have to tell you&
She leaned forward and brushed the tips of her fingers across the tip of his erection.
Paul jerked like she d sent an electric current bucking through his nerves. He came at
her so quickly, the sight of his open mouth and wide eyes filled up her field of vision. He
pushed her back, his hands digging into her shoulders, back, back, back, until she
slammed into her closed bedroom door. Her breath came out in a sudden burst against his
neck. He gathered a handful of curls and pulled her head back, closed his other hand
around her exposed throat. He bared his teeth and went at her mouth, sucking and biting, [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
