about it and just accept the way things are between us," he murmured against the warmth of her skin. "There’s nothing wrong with two people getting very lucky unexpectedly."
    Before she could summon her thoughts for a rational protest, his teeth had closed carefully on one nipple, sending electric waves through her. The seductive hand traveling along her thigh reached the warm juncture of her legs and she closed her eyes tightly, knowing he must be aware of the heat he was generating in her.
    "Honey, you’re practically melting in my hands," he breathed with beguiling satisfaction as his fingers closed briefly over the feminine heart of her desire. "Don’t you realize I must have all of you? I have to know what it’s like to lose myself completely in your body. I’ve never ached so badly for a woman in my life!"
    Kalinda writhed, arching herself against his hand and felt the instant response of his own body.
    Trembling, she began a sensitive, questing path down his side until she reached the barrier of the jeans.
    Restlessly, deliciously, she slipped her fingers just inside and heard his hoarse reaction.
    "Please touch me," Rand begged, even as he began to fumble with the clasp of her white trousers. "I need to feel your hands on me. So soft, so exciting."
    Unable to resist the urgent demand in him, Kalinda slowly undid the fastening of his jeans. She felt the trembling in him and knew a womanly power she had never known before. It was somehow very
    important and wholly satisfying to know she could make this one particular man respond. As her senses whirled dizzily some vague instinct told her that this was the only man in the world whose response counted.
    With delicate, tender caresses she explored the hard, fully aroused male frame. He reacted to the butterfly touches as if they were glowing lasers. When she sank her fingers into the muscular buttock, she heard him call out her name with a fierceness that excited her beyond reason.
    But even as she sought to inflame him further, Kalinda was slipping rapidly under the spell Rand was working on her own body. She felt the possessive spread of his fingers on her stomach and turned her head into his shoulder with a sigh of need when his hand went lower.
    "You can’t respond like this to me and still be thinking of that other man," Rand groaned huskily, his mouth on the silky skin of her stomach. "You can’t! I won’t let you!"
    "No," she whispered brokenly. "I’m only thinking of you. I can barely think at all!"
    "That’s the way it should be. Lose yourself in me, sweetheart, just as I’m losing myself in you."
    Kalinda felt the waves of desire wash over her, knew a surging excitement she’d never experienced and slowly common sense fell aside.
    With a deep sound of pleasure and anticipation, Rand moved, rolling onto his back and pulling Kalinda down across his chest. She blinked as her equilibrium swam momentarily and then reacted to the hot invitation in his eyes.
    Dropping passionate little kisses along his shoulder, Kalinda pushed aside the sport shirt Rand wore.
    Recklessly she wound her fingers in the hair on his chest, tugging gently.
    "Vixen," he muttered enticingly and tightened his grasp on her hip until she gasped from the curious pleasure-pain.
    "You’re a menace to the male of the species, do you realize that?" he charged on a husky note of impassioned laughter.
    "No," she denied vehemently, her light-colored hair falling loose to swirl across his chest as she dipped her tongue into the pit of his firm stomach. "I’m not normally like this," she added uncomprehendingly.
    "I’ve never felt quite like this. You do something crazy to me, Rand Alastair."
    His hold on her became at once soothing and even more demanding as he heard the honest
    bewilderment in her words.
    "The feeling," he growled, "is mutual My God, woman! To think we could have gone for the rest of our lives not knowing this sensation! If nothing else, I shall have to be grateful to
