Holding her wrist in the cradle of his palm, he reached up with his other hand to touch the wild mass of her hair. Hair the deepest darkest red, reminding him of ripe black cherries.
How long had he resisted the temptation of her? It felt like a thousand years.
Almost there and her eyes caught the movement, flared before she jerked backwards.
‘Finn. Let go of me. Right now.’
Distantly he heard the words, the quiver in her command, and knew they held no heat. Control slipped from his grasp and he fingered the stray lock tumbling over her shoulder.
Pure silk. Hot enough to singe. Fire burning on a dangerous scale.
Ignoring her sharp gasp, he corkscrewed the thick wave and tugged. Hard. Being rough. Too rough. But that was what she did to him. Severed his control. Fed his wildness. Even as the thought of hurting her fisted his heart.
‘Fiiiinn…’ she warned, as her chest rose and fell in rapid, mesmerising waves.
Familiarity rattled her. Always had. After the last time he’d touched her, however innocently, she’d avoided him for four years. Clever girl, she was.
Not once had he seen her embrace her father and he’d never noticed her with a lover. It couldn’t possibly be through lack of interest. Whether they would admit it or not, every guy on every team wanted a piece of her, Jake Morgan in particular carried a huge crush. But they always kept their distance. Prewarned? he wondered. Or did none of them have the courage to take her on?
There was a story there. One he’d pay any price to discover. One he would never know.
And that, he realised, was his answer. Or at least he told himself it was.
The charm he’d been born with, the charismatic beauty he’d wielded like a golden gun since he’d been old enough to deduce the fact that it got him out of many a sticky situation, would be the one thing—the only thing—to drive her away. Back to London. Out of sight. Out of mind. Free from the claws of temptation.
It wasn’t as if he could do any harm. Despite every word that fell from her delectable pout, she felt the same exquisite thrill of attraction he did. Hated it just as much as he did.
Decision made. It was bye-bye, Miss Seraphina Scott.
May the gods forgive him for what he was about to do.
He unleashed his desire and went in for the kill.
