In Like A Lyon – Amy Sandas

But he suspected it would take more from him to attain it. Clearly, his decision to give in to his desire to touch her had not been the correct choice. Though he’d reveled in the silken softness of her skin and the way she’d seemed to melt beneath his touch for just a moment, his boldness had brought a swift end to their evening and had taught him a valuable lesson.

If he were to get what he wanted—what he felt himself yearning for and striving for while under her command—he would have to possess better self-control and not give in to his lustful urgings to behave with her in the way he normally would with a lover. No matter how difficult it would be. He closed his eyes with a groan as he recalled with shocking clarity the feel of her velvet gloved fingers, soaked in wine, against his tongue.

The texture and taste. Most astounding though, had been her eyes. When he’d looked up at her—with her fingers in his mouth and her wrist in his hand— he’d been astonished to meet a honey-brown gaze so deep and rich that it seemed to glow with amber warmth. There had been surprise in her shielded stare. Surprise and what he could only hope was a desire that matched his own. Once he’d seen that, he hadn’t been able to keep from discovering more.

He wanted to know the feel of her. The taste. Her slim leg had been smooth and warm beneath the glide of his palm. If he closed his eyes, he could hear the rough catch in her breath when she finally decided he’d taken too much liberty with his questing fingers. His heart had jolted when she’d so abruptly pulled back from him. He’d been so tempted to rise to his feet and lunge after her. Grasp her around the waist and pull her into his body so she couldn’t leave him there again.

Wanting. Needing.
