Seducing the Beast
“Last night she’d called it “making love” and he wondered if she was even cognizant of the slip. He certainly was.
One hand on the curve of her hip, he considered the possibilities. She twitched like a pup napping. Asleep she looked even younger, her sable hair a tumbled sprawl across his pillows, as he’d once pictured it the first day they’d met. Pity overtook carnal need for a few moments. She was exhausted and he should let her sleep on.
The candles had burned throughout the night until he’d ...extinguished them a half hour ago. Wax draped over the pewter holders. The black wicks still discharged a drifting, smoky bitterness. On most days, within an hour he would be up and busy, but not this morning. Many things were different now.
He’d never woken with a woman in his bed.

What had she done? Perhaps it was the fault of those three girlish freckles, or that occasional dimple, or the mischievous glimmer in her smile, or those eyes betraying her every mood, amusement and hurt.MoreLess
