Trace had heard her

Without him, sometimes she feared that she would be lost

And that scared her to death

“Make love toout in that same hoarse, husky tone

His hold tightened on her

“I need you,” Skye told hi, and she wanted him to banish the fear that twisted within her

“Skye…”

Her hands rose up Her fingers sank into the thickness of his ht black hair, and she pulled his head toward her Her lips ry Desperate

She licked his lips Licked his tongue

They were in bed She was naked, tangled in the sheets She needed—

“I’ll give you anything you want, you know that,” Trace said, biting off the words against her lips Then he yanked the sheets away fro with muscles, and he was alive

His fingers slid down her body Parted her legs His fingers stroked her Eased up and—

His mouth trailed down her neck He kissed her throat Licked her sensitive flesh

But Trace’s hands caught her legs and pushed them back down

No, she wanted him
