passion.
    â€œPut your leg over my hips,” he whispered.
    As she moved, she realized that she was opening herself to him. She remembered the gleaming, fearful length of him against the stars.
    â€œCase, I—”
    Her voice broke.
    His fingers were teasing her deliciously, unbearably, plucking, caressing, probing the depths of her response. Without knowing it, she began to moan.
    â€œGive me your mouth,” he whispered.
    Blindly she lifted her face to him.
    â€œNow,” he said, against her lips, “give it all to me.”
    His tongue slid into her mouth as his fingers probed the secrets of her body.
    Sarah shivered and would have cried out, but her mouth was ruled by Case as surely as her body was. The knowledge sent a shudder of raw emotion through her.
    It wasn’t fear.
    It was a wild freedom that came from a woman’s certainty about her man. She knew he would protect her while she was helpless in his arms, just as she had protected him when he lay shivering and spent against her breasts.
    Pleasure stabbed through her, arching her like a drawn bow. At the peak of it, Case stroked deeply, increasing the delicious pressure. Then his thumb moved and pleasure shimmered, smoldered, and burst into a fire that ravished her.
    He drank her broken cries, muffling them so that none went beyond the blankets they shared. Slowly, reluctantly, he released her silky, sultry core.
    She protested in the only way she could, arching her hips toward him.
    With a throttled sound he gave her what she was askingfor, whether she understood it or not. He pushed his rigid, hungry flesh into her. When he couldn’t get enough of her that way, he rolled her onto her back and drew her legs up around him beneath the blankets.
    He sank into her completely.
    The feel of her all tight and hot around him made his whole body clench with pleasure and an elemental hunger that shocked him. He wanted her more than he ever had before.
    Distantly Case knew that he should have been afraid of the fiery, living need consuming him; but as it had been for Sarah, at that moment the lure of ecstasy within their interlocked bodies was greater than any fear.
    â€œI wish I had a big feather bed to lay you on,” he said in a low voice. “Are you cold?”
    â€œAll I can feel is you.”
    He looked down at her. Her eyes were closed and her face was taut with what could have been pleasure or pain.
    â€œHow do I feel to you?” he whispered.
    â€œWonderful.”
    He let out a long breath and reined in the savage urgency of his body.
    â€œNow, so there’s no confusion about it,” he said, “put your hand between us.”
    Her eyes opened. Starlight made them a gleaming mystery.
    â€œGo ahead,” he whispered. “Do it.”
    â€œLike this?” she asked, pushing her hand between their chests.
    â€œLower.”
    Her hand moved down to her belly.
    â€œLower,” he urged.
    Her hand moved down again. Her eyes widened suddenly, pure silver in the night.
    â€œYes,” he said against her lips. “Every bit of me is inside you. Still scared?”
    â€œAstonished.”
    She moved experimentally.
    Delicious sensations spread up from where he was so deeply lodged inside her.
    â€œWe fit,” she breathed. “We really fit.”
    â€œGod, yes.”
    He bit her lips delicately and was surprised by the quick, broken rush of her breathing. He knew she had found release just moments before. He hadn’t expected her to want any more sensual play.
    Yet there was no mistaking the instinctive tightening of her body around him.
    â€œI’m going to start moving again if you keep doing that,” he whispered.
    â€œDoing what?”
    â€œStroking me all over, deep inside.”
    Again Sarah caressed him without moving her hips at all. She shivered at the delicious sensations that cascaded through her with each hidden clenching of her body.
    â€œLike that?” she whispered.
    â€œJust like that.”
    â€œBut it feels so good to me. I don’t want to stop.”
    â€œHow about this?” he asked.
    Case moved his hips sinuously against her. He barely covered her mouth with his own in time to muffle her surprised, sensual cry. He twisted against her again and again, exciting her even more with each powerful movement of his body.
    Her nails scored heedlessly down his back and dug into his flexed hips. It set fire to him more than any tender caress
