him. She swallowed her tears and lifted her chin, smiling at him. I like that idea. Making love to you all
over the house. Would you turn on the Christmas lights? I love miniature lights like these.
Matt plugged in the lights for her. His house was dark and quiet and a bit on the cool side. He d never
bothered with heavy curtains in the living room because he had no close neighbors, and the bank of
windows faced the sea. Kate dropped her purse on the nearest chair and kicked off her shoes. It s nice
to come home. Just for tonight, I want to think about Christmas and not some awful thing coming out of
the fog to hurt everyone. She looked up at him, her large eyes sad. Do you think we ll manage to get
one night together, Matthew?
I don t know, Katie. I hope so. I m going to check the house and downstairs, and I ll be right back.
He didn t think he could sleep, not even holding her in his arms, until he checked the sand outside for any
peculiar footprints.
That s a good idea. I ll make us up a bed. You don t mind if we sleep out here by the tree do you?
Matt looked around the huge, spacious living room. The miniature lights winked on and off, colors
flickering along the walls and the high ceiling. I d like that, Kate.
He circled the house, checked the rooms beneath the deck and the beach for any signs of intrusion. He
had the feeling the enemy was as fatigued as they were. He glanced out to sea. How about giving us a
break, buddy, he murmured softly. Whatever has you all upset, Kate had nothing to do with it.
Above his head the skies opened up and poured down rain. Matt grinned wryly and hurried back to the
house. Back to Kate. The gas fireplace was lit, the logs burning cheerfully. On the mantel were several
lighted candles. The scent of berry permeated the air. In the flickering lights, he saw Kate, lying naked on
the sheets, her body beautiful, sprawled lazily on the covers while she watched the lights of the Christmas
tree. His breath rushed from his lungs, so that he burned for air, just standing there in the doorway staring
in surprise at the most incredible Christmas present he could imagine. That was how he thought of her.
His Christmas present. He would love this time of year forever.
Matthew. She turned over, smiled at him. Come lie down with me.
He could see the real Kate Drake. On the outside, she seemed flawless, perfect, out of reach, yet she
was really vulnerable, and as fragile as she was courageous. Kate needed a shield and he was more than
happy to be that shield, for her. He could stand between her and the rest of the world. Give me a
minute, Kate.
Kate turned back to the tree, watching the lights blinking on and off, so many colors flickering across the
wall. It was heaven just to lie down and rest. To relax. More than anything she loved to feel Matt s
heated gaze on her. He made her feel beautiful and incredibly special. He was a large man, and the feel of
his hands on her body, the way his body came alive at the sight of her, was a gift. A treasure.

Kate lay with the sheets cool on her skin and the lights playing over her body. She imagined his hands on
her. His eyes on her. Thinking about him made her grow hot with need. A small sound alerted her, and
she looked up to see him towering over her. For a moment she couldn t breathe. She drank him in. His
strong legs and muscular thighs. His amazing erection. His flat stomach and heavily muscled chest. Finally,
his eyes. His eyes had turned smoky, seductive, and now they smoldered with intensity and heat. You
take my breath away. It was a silly thing to say, but it was true. She patted the blanket beside her. She
wanted to touch him, to know he was real. To feel him solid and strong beneath her fingertips.
I m supposed to say that to you. He stretched out beside her, gathered her into his arms to hold her to
him. I want to lie here with you for a very long time.
She rested her head on his shoulder, fitting her body more closely to his. I wouldn t mind staying here
for the rest of the winter, locked away in our own private world. She stretched languidly, pleased to be
able to relax. To have him holding her with such gentleness.
Matt knew she was tired, and it was enough to hold her in his arms, even with his body raging at him and [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
