to his throat。
Intoxicated by its musky scent； she freed the knot of his tie and
released the front buttons of his shirt。 Her sigh warmed him when her
hands slid over his flesh； but his moan prevented her from going on。
He pushed his hands into her hair。 〃Look at me！〃 His eyes were hot with
desire。 〃Do you know what I want； Chloe？ I want to feel you。 I want to
know every inch of your body。 Half measures never worked for me with
you。 I need to be inside you。 Can you accept that？〃 His gaze flickered
over her flushed features。 〃Will you hate yourself tomorrow？〃
The question took her by surprise。 She didn't want to think about
tomorrow。 Her eyes filled with the tears of a deep； emotional yearning。
〃I don't know what I'll feel tomorrow； but I know what I want now。 I
know what I need。〃
〃Why now？〃 It was another surprise question。 〃Eleven years ago it was
rebellion。〃
〃Not rebellion。〃
〃Then why？〃 he asked more gently。
She took a deep breath。 The scent of his skin gave her strength。 〃Yes；
you were different。 The other men we'd known had been handpicked。 Our
brothers were as fussy as our parents。 But there was more for me。 You
were new。 Refreshing。〃
〃A challenge？〃
〃Maybe。〃
〃Do I challenge you now？〃
〃Yes； but that's only part of it。〃 Need loosened her tongue。 〃The pull
is there； just like it was eleven years ago。
