Her entire body turned into one big pulse

Sing, she pulled on a long-sleeved woolen shirt over nothing but bare skin If Dev wanted her, she wasn’t going to put any roadblocks in his path She craved his touch At first, after she’d woken, she’d thought any human touch would do But she’d realized different in the days since - it hurt when she wasn’t touched, but the idea of being touched by just anyone made her skin crawl

Her body wanted Dev and only Dev

Taking a deep breath, she left the duffel in the bathroo a naked sweep of ht there for her to stroke, touch, kiss, his hands gripping the doorjaht that she’d take hiet hih heat of hi deliciously with the curling hairs sprinkled over it

One hand thrust into her hair, holding her to hihs, the denim of his jeans was a sweet abrasion as he pushed into her space, his erection nudging at the softness of her abdohtened with pure need

"Do you know so her in place Taking the hint, she began to kiss her way across his chest It was the most luscious of tasks - he was just so bluntlybut deliciously, sensually feainst her ear, a little bite that made her suck in a breath, rise up on tiptoe

He hesitated "You liked that?"

Unable to ansords, she si it, he nibbled his way down her throat before untangling his hand froentle possessiveness The touch rip his waist harder And when he lifted his head to press his lips deainst hers, she opened for him at once

The bite on her lower lip, the sharp dart of pain, sent a rush of liquid to the juncture of her thighs Dev’s eyes were glittering when he raised his head "Is it the pain or the control?"

Her fingers curled against his skin as shame flooded her cheeks "I’ain, sharper this time It was all she could do to keep her feet "No," he said, stroking his thu pulse in her neck, "what you are is sexy as hell" Another kiss, one that threatened to tuer and deainst his o of the doorjale smooth move Neither of them said a word until he’d laid her down on the fluffy white coht as he cah, below the wool of her shirt, "answer the question"

"I don’t know," she said honestly, unable to stop fro her hands over his shoulders, his arms "But I like it when you crowd me"

Dev’s hand stroked up A harsh exhalation "You’re not wearing any panties" Rubbing his thuh, he lowered his body until all she could see was Dev, his skin, his eyes, hi covered by ht, feel crushed by the sheer life of hi her for a single electric second before returning to his previouscaress "After the dark"

That he understood, it broke her "There was nothing there," she whispered, nuzzling into his throat, drawing his "When they cut off my senses, when they put me into that chamber where I couldn’t even feel ness I went a little ht his body down another fraction, allowing her to feel sorazed her teeth down his throat, he hissed out a breath "The more contact, the better you feel"

"Yes" She rubbed her body against hi her down Her skin shimmered aves of pleasure "But thisonly with you, Dev I trust you"

He pushed a thigh between her own, opening her up, claierous confession to htly, he braced himself on his elbows above her, a solid wall ofyou offer"

"Will you give anything back?" she soleam of sensual aht would be a night she’d remember for the rest of her life So else had faded away Here, there was only Dev, only Katya, and a sexual heat that threatened to consume them both

When Dev pushed to his knees, she couldn’t help her sharp cry of disappointment He pressed a hand to her chest "Wait" And then he was getting off the bed and heading to the living area

Teo after him, she obeyed the order It was another fence, another line of control The psychologists would have a field day with her, she thought, but if this helped her cope with nore? None of the in the dark, unable even to sense their own skin, their own fingers, their own face It had been like she was dead - alone in a cold, indifferent universe

"Soback into the room with her scarf taut in his hands, the ends wrapped around his fists "I can hear you thinking It’s like a little knocking at the back of my head"

Her eyes tracked him as heinto the coot on the bed, prowling up over her body "What were you thinking?"
