Shanna sat up and peered about the dark bedroom "Roman? Are you here?"

I&039; me inside

Inside? Inside her head? It must have happened while she was asleep An icy jab of pain shot from one temple to another

Shanna, please Don&039;t pushfro te to block me Why?

"I don&039;t know When I feel so at me, I just push back It&039;s a reflex"

Relax, sweetness I won&039;t hurt you

She took a few deep breaths, and the pain lessened

That&039;s better His voice sounded closer Clearer

Shanna&039;s heart raced She wasn&039;t at all sure she wanted Rohts could he read?

An air of amusement surrounded her like a warm cocoon Then don&039;t think so much Relax

"How can I relax if you&039;re in ainst my will, would you?"

Of course not, sweetness I won&039;t control your thoughts I&039;ll only give you the sensations oflove to you And as soon as the sun rises, I&039;ll have to go

She felt soainst her brow A kiss Then, soft fingers caressing her face They rubbed at her tee of pain slipped away She closed her eyes and felt the fingers tracing her cheekbones, her jaw, her ears She wasn&039;t sure how he ed it, but it felt so real So wonderful

Even if their relationship lasted a few years, it would be like a blink of an eye to hiroan, Shanna rolled onto her stomach How could this ever work? They were polar opposites, as in alive and dead When people said opposites attract, they didn&039;t mean it in such an extreme way

Shanna?

She raised her head "You&039;re back? I thought you&039;d left"

Sorry Business His fingers gently kneaded her shoulders

With a sigh, she lowered her head onto the pillow Business? "Where are you exactly? You&039;re not at your desk, are you?" The thought that hepaperwork on the side really irked her The as his e in bed, having a bedti blood while he h How romantic Not

Oh Lordy She visualized his gorgeous body¡ªugly old toad

He stroked her back with feather-light caresses She shivered This onderful He applied pressure with the heel of his hand, burrowing into her with sloeet circles Correction¡ªthis was heaven

Can you hear other vah, thank you" She felt his presence loo with emotion Pride No, fiercer than that More like possessiveness

You are ht Just because she could hear hihts? Alive for ht like a cavehtful

Thank you I aiers seeking out knots of tension Caveman, huh?

Da It was a good thing he didn&039;t know she was falling in¡ªugly old toad, ugly old toad

You&039;re still not coo Two points for the ht smack on her rump "Hey!" She lifted her shoulders, only to be pushed back down "You&039;reme" Her voice was all to sound pleased with himself

"Caveman," she muttered With a whole harem of women "You said before this was impersonal It seeht now, because it&039;s only you andonly of you His presence felt heavy around her, heavy and hot with desire Her skin tingled in response He skiers up her spine to her neck There he brushed her hair to the side

She felt so hot and etting kissed by an invisible face His breath war tickled her toes

She started "There&039;s so in the bed"

Me

"But¡ª" It was impossible for him to kiss her ear and reach her toes at the sa Or he wasn&039;t quite huo Two points for you, sweetness Roman nuzzled her neck and tweaked her toes On both feet And he continued to rub the skin between her shoulder blades

"Wait a minute How many hands do you have?"

As many as I want It&039;s all ininto the arches of her feet Hethe circles down her spine And still he continued to kiss her neck

She sighed dreamily "Oh, this is nice"

Nice? His hands stopped

"Yeah Very nice, very¡ª" Shanna tensed, aware of a si from him

Nice? Sparks sizzled around hi it Really, I ah her head No more Mr Nice Guy

He seized her ankles and pulled her legs apart More hands curled around her wrists She wiggled, trying to get loose, but he was too strong, with too s spread wide open

Cool air wafted against her most tender flesh She waited, tense and exposed Her heart pounded loud in her ears

She waited The roo Her nerves coiled, sensing an imminent attack Where would he strike first? There was no way to tell He wasn&039;t visible to the eye This was terrible This was exciting

She waited Four hands still gripped her wrists and ankles But he had an infinite nuine Her heart raced faster The muscles in her buttocks contracted in an atteether She was so exposed So open to hi her wait Making her ache with anticipation Longing Desire

And then he was gone

Shanna raised her head "Hello? Rolanced at the clock radio beside the bed It would be just her luck if the sun was rising and he was officially dead for the day But it was too early for sunrise Had he just run out on her in the middle of a date? Minutes ticked by

She rose onto her knees "Dammit, Roman, you can&039;t leaveat the ceiling

Suddenly she felt hands encircle her waist She gasped "Roman? That better be you" She reached behind her where she thought he should be, but felt nothing but air

It&039;s me He skimmed his hands over her ribs, then cupped her breasts His mouth nibbled at her shoulder

"Where¡ªwhere were you?" It was hard to carry on a conversation while he was stroking her with his thuain He played with her nipples, gently tweaking the hardened buds between his thu seemed to pull at an invisible cord connected to her soul

She cru "Oh, Roman, please" She wished she could see him Or touch him

Shanna, sweet Shanna His voice whispered in her head How can I tell you what you mean to me? When I saw you at the ball, it was as if ht in an ocean of black and white And I thought¡ªht Then, you came like a rainbow and filled my black soul with color

"Oh, Roman Don&039;t make me cry" She rolled onto her stomach and wiped her moist eyes with the sheet

I&039;ll make you cry with pleasure His hands trailed slowly up her legs, while two inary hands skihs and the se on her sex Her buttock reeeter, hotter, more desperate

She felt his ue slipped across one cheek, dipped into the crevice, and continued across the other cheek

"You&039;re driving me crazy, Roman I can&039;t stand it"

Is this what you want? His fingers brushed against the curly hair guarding her sex

She jolted "Yes"

Hoet are you?

The question alone elicited another war Soaked See for yourself" She rolled onto her back, expecting to see his open to welcome him, and no one was there "Roman?"

I want to kiss you His breath wandered over her breast, then he sucked the nipple into his ue swirled around, then flicked the hard tip

She reached for hi there

He moved to her other breast

"I want to touch you, too I want to hold you" She jolted when he cupped her between the legs

His fingers began to explore You&039;re drenched You&039;re beautiful

"Ro to hold This wasWith nothing to hold, she clenched the sheet in her fists

He skiently parted theer inside and stroked the inner walls Do you like that? Or do you prefer this? He circled her clitoris, then teased the tip

She cried out She twisted the sheet in her hands She longed to hold hih his hair, feel the muscles on his back and buttocks This was so one-sided But so daers inside her At least, she thought it o fingers Maybe three Oh God, he was torturing her froed and withdrew She had no idea how s she possessed down there, but he seemed determined to set each one on fire He rubbed the hard, swollen nub of her sex faster and faster She dug her heels into theher hips into the air More More

He gave herfor air Tension mounted, sweet and strained She burned with need Harder Harder She pushed her sex into his hands, writhing against hirabbed her buttocks and took her with his ue and she shattered Her inner ers She cried out Spas ripples of sheer pleasure to her fingers and toes With each wave of release, her breath caught in her throat, her fingers twitched at the sheets The trehs together, reveling in the glorious aftershocks
