So he could save her instead of himself

She groaned when he lifted his head And her gaze was a dark stor as he reached down between them to free himself from his exercise trousers

Khaled thought he ht die anyway and soht, he didn’t much care

“And where does this fall within your chilly little concept of ht there in her gaze, as open and as perfect as she was The love he’d thrown back in her face, her deep hurt, and her own un to pretend this is nothing but procreation?”

He slicked hih her heat and watched the burn of it shiver through her, fighting back his own shudder as the flah

“Behave,” he gritted at her as if he was in control of this, of her, of his oild response, “and this will be your reward Disobeybut a memory”
