vengeance.
    She kissed him with desperation in the beginning then both of them were caught up in a maelstrom of desire, of pure, shimmering sexual heat. They were made for each other and even if neither fully realized the fact, their bodies acknowledged it with a deep-seated, physical wisdom.
    Neither could have turned back even if they'd wanted to.
    His hands spanned her waist and for a moment it surprised him how delicate and vulnerable she seemed. He'd thought Nancy would be more solid, have more substance than this girl who held on to his shoulders and kissed him as if there was no tomorrow.
    He couldn't control his response to her, and for a man who prided himself on control above all other qualities, it frightened him. Aroused him. Seduced him.
    He had to follow her.
    He was lost and he knew it, drowning in her scent, her touch, her lips and tongue, reaching for the buttons on her blouse, unfastening them, pushing the material aside. Cupping the warm flesh of her shoulder, her arm, her breast. Doing away with the lacy barrier of her bra, then sweeping her clothes off her body and pulling her hard against him, her naked flesh hot.
    He broke that first kiss then kissed her again. Heard her moan. Before, completely in control, he might've smiled against her mouth, pleased at such a feminine form of surrender. Now he could barely think as he reached for the fastening of her skirt.
    He slid it off her and didn't care if she ever wore clothes again.
    All thoughts of taking time with her were forgotten. All thoughts of her virginal fears were swept completely from his consciousness. He'd found his other half and all his thoughts centered on making them one, as quickly as possible.
    He made short work of her panties and found her hot, wet and aroused. He rolled her onto her back, slid between her legs and entered her body with a single, sure thrust.
    She answered him silently, eloquently, her body moving against his, her arms tight around his neck, her cheek pressed against his. Then he felt her head fall back, heard her deep, almost agonized breathing.
    He tried to prolong it and couldn't. Too quick, too intense, too much. He heard her cry out, felt her climax. Then he followed her lead.

    He woke later in the night, his arm tightly around her. He didn't have to reach for her as he had no intention of ever letting her go.
    Who'd have thought he'd be bowled over by Nancy Kilpatrick? Burn at her touch? The wholesome, freckle-faced, young co-ed he'd met one afternoon in his office had turned into a sensuous, desirable woman in his bed.
    Life certainly dealt you a surprise every now and then.
    He stroked the silky skin of her arm.
    They made love again and this time it was slow and erotic, then sweet and gentle. This time he felt as if he were giving her a part of his soul. And as he fell asleep with his face against her hair, breathing in her scent, he wanted to bind her to him, make her a part of his life forever.
    He hoped he'd given her a child.

    She couldn't sleep.
    The enormity of what she’d done couldn't be ignored. What had happened between them had been so powerful, so transcendent, that she felt as if she were Pandora and had just completely changed the world.
    He murmured something in his sleep as his arm tightened around her. And though Michaela knew she had to escape and escape now, a part of her wanted to remain with him always.
    She found her blouse with her toes, then her lacy panties, moving her foot gingerly over the articles of clothing. At least he hadn't shredded them as he'd undressed her. If she could only manage to get out of the room, she'd be all right. She could finish what she'd set in motion.
    Can you?
    All through her childhood, her father had told her that actions had consequences. But something had happened to her tonight, something that had made her completely disregard the practical, common sense choices she usually made.
    Straight A's and impeccable behavior
