His grip tightened in her hair. Rachel stared breathlessly up into his intense face, seeing the strength of his concern for her and his angst that she wouldn’t trust him.
He brought his head down for an energy-packed kiss.
The impact stunned her, and an instant later fire melted any thought of resisting. She let him take her mouth and fell into the velvety passion, desire so strong she couldn’t comprehend where she ended and he began.
His kiss eased into a series of gentler, quicker ones.

As he continued kissing her, she answered with equal fervor.
“Tell me,” he rasped.

“I can’t,” she whispered harshly.
