His ego wanted to say yes, but his bank account guar­anteed he could not with certainty

Rachel was different and the rage of his arousal reflected his body's reaction to that truth He could not doubt her She came to him without any promises, without any conditions

And he would ret that choice

Without any warning, Rachel found herself on her back, a sexually voraciouswith his need to possess above her A position that had caused her only terror in the past turned her on to the point of recklessness now and she tore at his shirt, yanking it from the waistband of his pants

His big body convulsed when her hands encoun­tered hot, hair roughened skin

"You like that," she said with helpless wonder
