Why, as her body responding to him like this? she wondered helplessly as he peeled away her top to reveal the warm curves of her breasts

She tried to will her body not

to react to the warmth of James’s breath as he bent his head towards her

‘No!’

Even as she uttural denial and twisted her body desperately fro her want to be released froe of Ja and intensifying sensation of that possession as he subdued her attempts to break free of hiainst her body

Lost in the sensation caused by Ja the sensitive flesh of her breasts, Poppy was unaware of the fact that he had unfastened and removed her skirt until she felt the sudden coolness of the air-conditioning against her bare skin, her only covering the sle of her cotton briefs

James still had her hands pinned above her head, and as he released her breast and started to unfasten his shirt Poppy turned her head to avoid looking at hiht of the satin heat of his naked skin against her oas doing to her, and as she did so she inadvertently caught sight of her reflection in theas she stared transfixed at her iaze

Was that really her, that creature with the dark, tangled mane of hair, the full, swollennipples, her skin so creaainst the coverlet of the bed, her spine arched, her body stretched out like so?

Even to her own eyes there was so about her alement of her limbs that positively flaunted her sensuality, her sexuality, she recognised in wide eyed shock, the white triangle of her briefs sohtly parted as though as though

‘What are you looking at?’ she heard James ask as he pulled off his shirt and stepped out of his trousers and leaned towards her, his i in a sainst the wave of shocked excitement it caused her

‘Ah,’ he said softly, ‘so you like looking at yourself, do you, Poppy? You like watching whilst—?’

‘No,’ Poppy protested, her face burning as she heard hih and saw the way he stretched out his hand and slowly ran his fingertips along her skin,her shiver and tremble in helpless response

‘Well, re you eat your words,’ he reminded her softly ‘Would you like that, Poppy?’ he added, so gently that the words slipped up under her guard ‘Would you like to knohat it feels like to have a ainst your body whilst he?’

His hand was covering her sex now, not touching or caressing her, sie of it, was enough to accelerate the pulse which had been slowly throbbing there ever since be had first taken hold of her—throbbing in a deep, fierce ache so intense that she felt sure that he must be able to feel the vibrations as they shook her helpless body

He was naked now, his body darkly powerful in contrast to hers, his skin like the taut, warle killer

The urge within her to reach out and touch it, to touch hiertips tre as they finally came into contact with his body

The fierce shudder that ripped through hi straight up into the dark heat of his, her breath co faster between her half-parted lips as her body responded instinctively in its recognition of the arousal of his

For some reason his arousal shocked her Shocked her and excited her, she acknowledged, unaware that her eyes were betraying her e other than the heat and power of hiainst hers and took hold of her, sht have wanted to make

Whilst her body shivered its pleasure in his ar, opening, herin the taste and feel of him

In the distance Poppy could hear a sound—a soft, keening cry of desire and urgency that she didn’t recognise as hers until Jahly, ‘Now tell me that you don’t want methat you want my brother

‘Look, Poppy,’ he co it so that she was forced to look at her reflection in the mirror—at their reflections in theshe had done so, she had arched herself against hiht of one of his between them, to accept it and

Poppy shivered as she saw the way her flesh clung longingly to his, the way her whole body silently betrayed its yearning need

‘No No, this isn’t what I want,’ she protested in a panicky whisper ‘This can’t be what I want You aren’t what I want’
