She would take a sure bet that none of those woh to fall in love with him!

She tried not to look disheartened ‘I’ll clear away here, if you would like to get on with some work now’

‘Fine’ He nodded abruptly before bending to collect his T-shirt froain later’ He turned sharply on his bare heel and left the kitchen

The tension left Elizabeth’s shoulders once she was alone

But not for long, she guessed, well aware of the warning edge in Rogan’s tone that had clearly stated he would find a ‘right time’ for their conversation soood

How could she have been so foolish? So stupid as to fall in love with ain love? With any woman…

Rogan went up the stairs two at a tirimmer

So far this had been one hell of a day That early- love with her The unsatisfying conversation that had followed

Although for the life of her Elizabeth couldn’t think what that third explanation ht be

Did Rogan know these books were back in the cabinet?

Rogan…

Every tiht of hi their loveht of howto leave her once his father’s funeral was over and never come back Maybe even later today? Oh, God…!

Rogan had made love to her like a ood So good Wonderful, in fact Beyond anything Elizabeth had ever iined—and much better that any of the eroticism in the sexy va was soabout it

Her breasts still felt full and achy The nipples sensitive froan’s hands and hs…

Rogan had filled her so coly! Every part of her had been alive and quivering as those waves of pleasure had surged through her

Because she was in love with Rogan Because—?
