A Woman's Touch

how I love you.“
    Sprawled on top of his hard length, her legs trapped between his, Rebecca cradled Kyle’s face in her palms. „I love you,“ she echoed softly. „For ever and always. Nothing you could do would ever drive me away from you.“
    „Becky.“ He snagged his fingers in her hair and brought her face close to his own. His mouth was tenderly ravenous, asking for complete surrender even as he silently vowed his own, unconditional capitulation.
    Their clothing was discarded in slow, lingering movements and then dropped casually over the side of the sofa.
    When the last of it was gone, Kyle ran his hands down Rebecca’s bare back. When he reached her buttocks, he gripped her tightly. Then he lifted his thighs against hers, letting her feel the hard, aroused male flesh.
    „I’ve been wondering,“ he rasped as he kissed her throat, „how you felt about kids.“
    Rebecca stroked the black hair back off his forehead. „I’ve heard Stockbridges always have sons.“
    „That’s a fact.“ He kissed the hollow of her shoulder and probed gently into the warmth between her legs.
    „Just like Ballards.“
    „The thing is,“ Kyle said, kissing her shoulder, „Ballard has already got a head start. But I figure if we get moving on the project, we could catch up.“
    Rebecca laughed softly. „I refuse to let you get me pregnant just so you can compete with Glen Ballard.“
    Kyle’s eyes glowed with green fire. „Then how about if I get you pregnant so I can watch you get soft and round with my baby?“
    Rebecca caught her breath. „You think you’d like that?“
    „Lady, I’d be willing to kill for the privilege of getting you pregnant.“ He began to ease her legs apart.
    „Kyle.“
    „Is that a yes vote?“
    „I… Oh, yes.“
    „Let me inside,“ he whispered urgently, his hands guiding her until she was positioned directly above his waiting manhood. „All the way inside. I want to be a part of you again. I’ve been so lonely at night without you.“
    „Yes,“ Rebecca breathed again. She was trembling with the passion that flowed over her in hot waves. She touched him wonderingly, her fingers gliding through the rough hair on his chest.
    „Now, baby. That’s it.“ Kyle thrust slowly into her, at the same time pulling her down so that she took the full length of him. „Becky.“
    She moaned softly as her body instinctively tightened around him. „I love you, Kyle.“
    „I know,“ he said thickly. „Don’t ever stop, honey. I’d go off the deep end if you did. I need you so much. I love you so much.“
    Rebecca felt the warmth of the fire on her skin, and it seemed as though it were a caress. It supplemented the heat of Kyle’s body and the flames of his passion. Her head whirled with the dizzying sensation and she lost track of everything around her, except for the strength of the man who held her.
    Then she felt herself growing so tight she thought she would shatter.
    „All the way, baby,“ Kyle urged, his own body as taut as a bowstring. „Let it go all the way. Take me with you.“
    She clung to him breathlessly as the glittering shards of release spun outward in a glowing spiral. Kyle was with her every step of the way, calling her name as he followed her into the mist.
    And when it was over and they lay quietly together, Kyle was silent for a long while. His eyes were narrowed with contemplation as he gazed into the fire. His fingers moved lovingly in Rebecca’s hair.
    „It’s nice to know I won’t have to depend too much on the Stockbridge luck in the future,“ he said at last.
    „What are you going to depend on?“
    „You.“ He turned his head to look at her.
    Rebecca thought she would melt all over again under the intensity of his gaze. „I’ll always be here for you, Kyle.“
    She smiled. „Even if you do slip back into your dragon ways once in a while.“
    „No chance of that,“ he assured her cheerfully. „I’m a reformed dragon.“
    „Sure you are. That’s why you kidnapped me from the office this afternoon, right?“
    He grinned. „You should have seen the expression on your face when I showed up at the door and you knew your time had run out.“
    Rebecca propped herself on his chest, her chin resting on her folded hands. „Actually, I thought it was kind of romantic.“
    „Not bad for a guy who has trouble relating to women, huh?“
    „Not bad at all,“ Rebecca agreed. She slid her palm down Kyle’s stomach to the rough thicket of hair
