will probably shrivel me.”
    “What do you mean?”
    Robert chuckled. “Never mind, my innocent angel. I’ll sit in the water so my privates aren’t exposed.”
    Angelica opened her eyes when she heard the splash of water as he sat down. She couldn’t suppress a bubble of laughter when she saw him sitting in the stream and smiling at her.
    “Your turn, angel.”
    Angelica stood slowly. She dropped her skirt and pulled her blouse over her head. “Please close your eyes until I’m sitting in the water,” she said. “Your watching me disrobe makes me feel—”
    “Embarrassed?”
    “Quite.”
    Robert closed his eyes. He’d assumed she would wear her chemise, but if she was willing to strip down to nothing, he wasn’t going to stop her.
    A long, silent moment passed. He heard her wade into the water and then plop down beside him.
    “ Sacred sevens ,” Angelica cried. “The water doesn’t cover—”
    Robert opened his eyes. Her perfectly rounded breasts with their pink-tipped nipples rose above the water.
    She moved to shield her breasts from his view, but Robert stayed her hand. “Let me see your beauty,” he said, his voice husky.
    “I’m not beautiful,” Angelica said, but dropped her arms. She stared at him through disarming blue eyes, large with wonder.
    “You are incredibly beautiful,” Robert whispered, lowering his head. He covered her mouth in a gentle, persuasive kiss.
    Angelica relaxed against him and surrendered to him.
    She’s ripe for me, Robert thought, slipping his right arm around her shoulder. He slid the tip of his tongue across the crease between her lips, which parted for him. He kissed her lingeringly, his tongue exploring the sweetness of her mouth.
    With his left hand, Robert caressed her breasts. He ran his fingers across her nipples and teased them into aroused hardness.
    “Your nipples are sensitive, a sure sign of a passionate nature,” he whispered, hearing her ragged breathing. “Do you like my touch, angel?”
    “Oh, yes,” Angelica said on a sigh. She reached up and caressed the hand that was bringing her such pleasure.
    “Lady, you are exquisite,” Robert said, standing and lifting her into his arms.
    Noting her dazed expression, Robert kissed her again and then carried her out of the water. Gently, he placed her down on a blanket of grass and lay down beside her.
    Robert circled her nipple with one long finger. Then he dipped his head and kissed her again.
    Pausing a moment to gaze at her expression, Robert knew the angel in his arms was neatly caught by these new, exciting sensations. Her nipples hardened beneath his gaze, and he leaned down to catch one in his mouth, making her moan.
    “What are you going to do?” Angelica asked in a breathless whisper.
    “I’m going to taste your beautiful breasts,” Robert answered thickly, and flicked his tongue out to tease a nipple. He slid his hand down the length of her silken body to caress the inside of her thighs, whispering, “I’ll make you quiver for me.”
    Angelica moaned and turned in his embrace, his touch and his words making her senses reel. Her young body on fire, she was powerless to resist. For the first time in her life, she experienced the incredible sensation of masculine hardness touching her feminine softness.
    “You are wet for me, angel,” Robert said, sliding his finger to her dewy pearl. “I want to join our bodies and make us one.”
    Robert kissed her thoroughly, stealing her breath away. His hands caressed her flesh while his lips moved down the column of her throat and beyond. Catching a nipple with his mouth, Robert suckled and nipped and licked it. Then he lavished the same attention on its mate, igniting a throbbing heat between her thighs.
    “I want you,” she breathed.
    “Spread your legs for me,” he whispered, his lips returning to hers.
    Without hesitation, Angelica did as she was told. Robert kissed her and inserted one long finger inside her.
    She moved in surprise,
