PLEASE…please now,' she framed brokenly, tormented by the burning heat of an excitement that felt too much to bear.
He came over her and into her in swift movements. With a sinuous shift of his hips he positioned his long, powerful body and sank into her inner warmth with a low, melodious growl of sensual pleasure. For a split second fear pierced the veil of her excitement and her inner muscles clenched hard round his swollen shaft. His golden eyes caught the momentary look of concern and unease she couldn't hide, and then his hands closed round her hips and he drove into her again with hard, sure, sensual force, as if he knew the intensity of her need. The feeling of pressure low in her belly increased until all she was conscious of was the remorseless intrusion of his strong body into hers, and the ravishing, irresistible force of a physical stimulation so extreme it came close to pain. Tingling sparks of her impending release shot through her stomach and she writhed and gasped, her body arching as the most intense orgasm gripped her and sent wild sensation flooding through her in an uncontrollable and explosive tide.

He looked levelly back at her, and a lump of dismay formed in her throat as she read the challenge in his appraisal. The silence lay like a claustrophobic blanket, threatening to stifle her ability to breathe. A whoosh of alarm ran down her spine like a cold warning hand.
'What's wrong?'
Alexei sat up. Brilliant golden eyes rested on her with all the extraordinary force of his fierce personality. 'I'm amazed you have the nerve to ask me that—you lied to me and you know how I feel about lies…'
