small bed. He set her
down on the quilts and paused only long enough to strip off his
clothing.
When he was ready she smiled at him and raised her arms to
welcome him.
His own personal mesmerist, he thought. The only one who could
put him in a trance.
Lavinia."
He settled himself between her soft, warm thighs, caught her
wrists in both of his hands and anchored them gently on either side
of her head. The aching urgency pounded through him.
He bent his head and kissed her throat.
Sometimes I want you so much it is a wonder I do not go up in
flames," he whispered.
Oh, Tobias, do you not understand? When you burn, I burn too."
The need flared within him.
He released one of her wrists and reached down to ease the night
gown out of his way. He drew his palm up the silken skin of her
inner thigh. When he reached his goal, he found her warm and
already damp. The scent of her body acted like a drug on his senses.
He touched her. She sucked in her breath and stirred sinuously
beneath him. Her free hand clutched his bare shoulders, fingers
digging into his skin. Impatiently she tried to get her other wrist

loose, but he kept it pinned gently to the bed.
Not yet," he murmured against her breast. First tell me how you
want me to touch you."
You are touching me precisely how I want you to touch me." She
caught her breath. Indeed, you always seem to know just how to do
it."
He drew his fingertips a little higher, pressing the little nubbin
back into its tiny sheath. Perhaps it would be better if I did this."
She moaned and raised her hips a little off the bed. Oh, yes. That
is perfect."
What about this?" He slid a finger inside her and pushed upward.
Tobias."
I collect that is better yet?"
Yes." She gasped and moved urgently against his hand. Better
than perfect."
He started to remove his finger. Tiny muscles clenched.
No." She sounded breathless now. No, I want you to touch me like
that again."
Tell me exactly how you want it."
She threaded her fingers through his hair and forced his head
down to her breast. You know how I want it. You are the only one
who knows. Touch me, Tobias."
The command set fire to his blood.
Anything to oblige a lady." He took one nipple into his mouth and

simultaneously eased his finger back inside. He pushed once more
against the upper wall of her snug passage.
She mumbled thickly, twisting beneath him, and struggled once
again to free her right wrist. She was strong, he thought. So much
stronger than she appeared.
Not yet," he muttered. I want to feel you come apart in my
hands."
Tobias."
He probed deeper, harder. She cried out softly. Her eyes squeezed
shut.
He stroked her until she was tight and desperate, and only then
did he release her other wrist. She grabbed him to her, wrapping her
legs around his waist.
He thrust himself into her hot passage.
She convulsed around him with another soft cry. The small pulses
triggered his own climax. It swept through him like some invisible
storm.
Together they fell into the whirlpool.
A long time later, he roused himself from the sweet, heavy lethargy
that had stolen over him in the wake of passion. The cot was,
indeed, too small for the two of them, but he was not inclined to
complain.
The scent of their lovemaking hung in the air, ripe and potent. He
knew that he would forever associate it with her.
She lay languidly on top of him, her head pillowed against his
shoulder, her hair spilling across his chest. Her nightgown was

was enough light left to reveal the rounded contours of her bare hips
and thighs.
He stroked the length of her spine with the flat of his palm all the
way down to the soft

clothing.

He settled himself between her soft, warm thighs, caught her
