kissed her, his half-open eyes gleaming at her in the lamplight as his mouth played on hers. His tongue glided sensuously, his teeth nibbled gently, in a caress that was blatantly sexual.
    Josie felt his hard shoulders under her hands and wasn’t surprised that she had reached for him. He knew just how to touch her, just how to arouse her until she was beyond protest. Beyond herself. No matter how closely she tried to guard herself, he always found at least this way in.
    Her body arched into his, pressing closer, and she made a little sound when his hand slid up her rib cage and cupped her breast. Her flesh responded instantly to the gentle kneading, to the rhythmic brushing of his thumb back and forth across her tightening nipple. She made another sound, harsher and more urgent, hearing it throb in her throat, which ached just as the rest of her body ached for him.
    His eyes still slitted, still gleaming enigmatically at her, he murmured against her lips, “You don’t really want to leave me, do you, sweet?”
    She looked at him dazedly, then caught her breath when he lowered his head so that he could brush his lipsacross the straining tip of her breast. He held her gaze while his tongue darted out and flicked lightly, while his mouth captured and sucked her sensitive flesh.
    “Do you?” he demanded insistently, his low voice as seductive as his caresses.
    Josie wanted to say yes. She wanted to be able to be strong, to prove at least to herself that Alex had changed nothing in her. But her body had changed, had learned to respond to his touch, and as much as she would have liked to deny that, he knew it as well as she did. He was feeding at her breast, not like a child but like a man hungry for the taste of her, and the hot sensations were driving her mad. With every pull of his mouth, the empty ache deep inside her intensified until she couldn’t be still—or silent.
    “No,” she said huskily, her fingers threading through his silky blond hair. “No, I don’t want to leave you. Oh, God, Alex—please …”
    “You’ll stay all night?” His mouth toyed with her nipple while his hand slid down over her belly and probed gently between her thighs.
    Josie shuddered, her body going as taut as a bowstring when his long fingers penetrated, his thumb stroked and teased. She tried to find the breath to answer him, realizing dimly and with an oddly relieved sense of surrender that if he had asked her to walk through fire or over broken glass, her reply would have been the same.
    “Yes. Yes, Alex. Oh—!” She couldn’t help crying out, writhing against him when she felt his teeth rake her nipple gently and his fingers plunge deep. “Alex, for God’s sake!”
    “Not for yours?” he murmured, raising his head at last and smiling at her.
    A little wildly, she said, “What are you trying to do to me?”
    Whether he heard in her voice that she was pushed to her limits or simply lost patience himself, Alex answeredher with his body. He slipped between her thighs, drawing them high around his waist, and slowly entered her.
    Josie was so close to the edge, and he kept her there, moving with exquisite care, the strain showing on his face and in quivering muscles. He seemed bent on drawing out the lovemaking until neither of them could stand another moment more, and though Josie wanted to protest, she couldn’t find the breath or a single coherent word with which to do so.
    It seemed to go on forever, pleasure that rippled through her in tiny, rhythmic waves that grew more and more powerful, until finally she was swept up in a hot, dizzying whirlpool of sensation so intense that she was blind and deaf to everything except the overwhelming satisfaction of her climax.
    Josie became aware of her surroundings once again just as Alex rolled onto his back, carrying her with him. He was still breathing harshly, and she lay with her cheek against his chest and her eyes closed while her pillow gradually steadied into a slow rise
