"Bella?"
Cal's eyes had turned steely gray. "I've been standing here in the dark
watching the plain because I can feel those coyotes out there...somewhere. I'm
afraid I've made a mistake bringing you out here.
Bella looked out through the window into the black night. "Have you seen
something?"
He reached up and took hold of shoulders. "No. But I don't need that to
know they're out there." He squeezed her shoulders, as if to push her away.
Instead his fingers massaged...caressed. Aroused beyond belief, he said, "Go
to bed."
But his hands stayed where they were. Too close. Too intimate.
Bella threw her arms around his neck. "Take me there."
Staggered, his blood was racing. He leaned against the kitchen counter to keep
himself steady. But he didn't have a chance to think about it.
"Take me," she whispered in his ear. "I know you want me. Take
me now."
