Drake’s Lair
His hands soothed her gently, though she strained against them. His tanned skin smelled of musk salted with sweat, and sweetened with brandy drunk recently. It was a pleasant odor, very male, that went to her head and made her giddy. But surely not--that was from the shock.
She gave a start. All that lay between her nakedness and the well-muscled body that had suddenly gone rigid against her was the thin nightgown. Her heart leapt, and her tiny fists defended against whatever the turgid pressure of him was doing to her private regions.
"Let go of me, you great lout!" she shrilled, battering him severely. "I’m quite able to stand on my own."
His hands fell away, and she swayed. Her hopelessly trembling knees betrayed her. It was as though they had turned to jelly, but she was determined, and when he shot his arm out offering support again, she took a step back out of his reach.
He didn’t pursue her. Instead, he froze staring, his hooded eyes raking her from head to toe. It was several moments before she glanced down toward what he was staring at so intently. Backlit by the fire, her nightgown had become transparent. He could see everything. Her breath caught in a strangled gasp, and she threw her arms across her body in a vain attempt to hide all her charms at once. Views: 21
