every thought flew right out of her head. Her hands lifted to touch his shoulders all on their own while she fought with the rest of her body to keep from rubbing up against him. He moved closer, blatantly inhaling the scent of her skin as his lips gently explored the soft contours of her face. The kiss that wasn’t quite a kiss had her practically melting. Damn, it was so erotic, she barely felt the chill in the air as her body warmed from her scalp down to her pinky toes. She wanted him. Badly.
    Justin gently rubbed his nose against hers. His nostrils flared as he inhaled her natural scent. She smelled like allspice and ginger. Spicy, sweet. He liked it. He rubbed his lips against her cheek, brushed over her mouth and nibbled along her jawbone. She wore hardly any makeup, skin so baby smooth he could stand there and rub his cheek against hers until she tired of him doing so.
    He worried her diamond stud with his teeth. After endless moments of bathing in the sensual fog that was Delaine, he managed to string together a few words against the tempting lobe of her dainty little ears. “May I kiss you?” he whispered against her skin.
    Unable to gather enough air to speak, Delaine mouthed the word yes, almost desperate to feel his mouth moving against hers. Her head screamed, Hurry up and kiss me already! She couldn’t tell if it was her, Sapa or the both of them. Strung so tight, her whole body hummed with the effort it took to stand there and look like a woman halfway in control of herself.
    By the time he finally got around to it, she was ready to grab him by the collar, rise up on her tiptoes and lay one on him. She’d never had this kind of physical reaction to a man. Neither had Sapa, so beside herself, if she purred any louder in Delaine’s mind, she was sure even Justin would be able to hear it. Oh lord, she almost hoped he would say something stupid to ruin the moment. Give her an excuse to shut down and bow out. All this stomach fluttering was just too much.
    Justin played it out for as long as he could, but now he couldn’t wait another second to claim her lips. He slanted his mouth tenderly over hers but couldn’t hold it there. It just wasn’t enough. Pulling her body flush against his, he deepened the kiss like they were in a private room with nowhere to go but to bed. When she began to move her mouth under his, his arms tightened around her until she was wrapped completely within the cocoon of his large body. He groaned brokenly when she eagerly opened for him, allowing him full access to her lovely mouth. He tasted, teased and then plunged deeply, entangling his tongue with hers. She was delicious, like apples and fine wine. Her ready response made his thighs flex and stomach clench wildly with need. She made him feel…untamed.
    A quiet uh-hem caught his attention. The valets had arrived with their cars. Damn, already? Broke the kiss on a sigh but couldn’t resist another taste or two. His mouth kicked up into a half grin when she smiled up at him, lips parted, and slightly dazed.
    Justin stepped back, admired the sleek machine idling at the curb and caught Delaine’s unabashedly smug expression. She drove a black on black Jaguar convertible. Exactly like his. Yep, the woman had class.
    He pulled open her door and settled her behind the wheel. “Follow me, beauty,” his sensual whisper a promise of things to come.
     

 
    Chapter Four
     
    Delaine followed Justin to a jazz club about a mile from the Duke Mansion. The four-minute drive gave her too much time to contemplate her ridiculous physical reaction to the man. What was it about him that made her want to jump him? How did a man she’d just met turn her on more with a look than her ex-husband ever had with his whole body? This just wasn’t like her.
    Thankful for the few minutes she’d had to get herself together, she managed a small smile when Justin appeared and opened her car door for her. He ushered her into the club with his hand at the
