Read an Excerpt

Looking up, she saw a challenge in Nicholas's eyes. He took her shoulders in his strong hands, and slowly drew her to him.

She thought to push him away, but instead her fingers grasped his shirt.

His mouth swooped down, and his lips captured hers. As his arms wrapped around her, she melted into him.

A fierce heat rose up in her. Her hand moved up his chest and over his collarbone to his corded neck where she could feel the strong beat of his pulse.

His tongue teased her lips for entry. She felt a momentary quaver, a sense of alarm, at the knowledge that in his arms she lost all control. Then her mouth opened. As the kiss deepened, her pulse echoed in rhythm with his. A throbbing began in her loins, and she heard herself whimper. With fear? Or pleasure?

For she felt both. His kiss consumed her, as brushwood in a fire.

His hand came to rest on her breast. His fingers teased her nipple until her breast felt swollen and aching. Shock gave way to pleasure. She inhaled the warm familiar smell of him, of man and horse and coffee as his hand continued its exploration. Cradling her head with one hand, he pursued the kiss with more fervor. His other hand moved downward over her buttocks, kneading and pushing as he held her against the hardness at his groin. A frisson of alarm ran through her as she remembered the stallion and the screaming mare.

Katherine stiffened.

Nicholas groaned and set her from him.

With a shaking hand, she brushed a lock of hair from her face. She gulped and touched lips still tingling. Her words came low and labored. "I think I understand."

He looked at her, the planes of his face made harsh by the firelight. A mockingsmile touched the corners of his mouth.

"No, you do not." He shook his head. "'Twas just the beginning of it."
