his heartbeat matching the racing speed of her own.

She would never forget the horror of her marriage to Jason, but she had a feeling that no matter what the future held, making love to Cameron would brand him in her heart from this day forward.

Chapter 9

Cameron felt as if he’d entered a dream world. All rational thought had escaped his brain the moment he’d kissed Mary. Now with her naked body pressed against his he was lost in her warmth, in her sweet scent.

As their lips clung together he filled his palms with her full breasts, loving the way her nipples instantly rose in response and she gasped in pleasure against his mouth.

On some level he knew what they were doing was wrong, that the timing was off and they’d never even been on a date. There had been no courtship and yet he couldn’t imagine how something that felt so right could be wrong in any way.

There were no thoughts of crimes or criminals, no disturbing visions of the dead as he moved his mouth along the curve of her jaw and down the slender column of her neck. She grabbed hold of his hair, and his tongue slid across one of her turgid nipples, teasing the tip with gentle flicks.

“Cameron,” she whispered his name as he captured the nipple in his mouth, loving the taste of her. There was no question in the single word that escaped her lips, just a sense of wonder that made him want to please her like no man had ever pleased her before and never would again.

With this thought in mind he set about to drive her insane with desire, to make her body sing beneath his slow caresses and soulful kisses.

They moved together as if they’d made love a thousand times before, and Cameron had done so in his dreams for years. He knew her taste, the feel of her silky skin against his hands, the whispered sighs of delight that escaped her with each touch.

What surprised him was that she gave as she received, eagerly stroking his skin, pressing her lips against his throat, his chest. He couldn’t get close enough to her and she seemed just as insistent.

The desire he felt that was already at fever pitch only rose higher when she encircled his hardness in her hand. He gasped and held his breath, afraid that by her intimate touch it would all end before it had truly begun.

He strained against the need for his own release, wanting nothing more than to part her legs, enter her and finish whether she was with him or not. But he wasn’t going to do that. He wanted her with him all the way.

Instead of focusing on the sensations she wrought in him, he slid his hand down the flat of her stomach, along her inner thigh and found her moist center with his fingertips.

Instantly her fingers around him slackened as she arched up her hips to meet his feathering touch. A low moan escaped her lips, and he moved his fingers faster, wanting her to reach her release, needing her to completely shatter before he took her.

She grasped the sheets on either side of her, her eyes fluttering as she shuddered with her climax. It was the sexiest, most amazing thing Cameron had ever seen and immediately he moved between her thighs, needing to bury himself in her heat.

She welcomed him, grabbing his buttocks to pull him in closer, and as he sank deep within her he felt as if he’d finally come home. For several long moments he didn’t move, but remained perfectly still, with the warmth of her breath on the underside of his jaw.

He wanted to stay frozen in this moment, buried deep inside her and her gaze holding his with a sense of sweet wonder. But he couldn’t help the primal needs of his body, his own need for release. He pulled his hips back and stroked back into her in a slow rhythm that had her gasping his name with surrender.

Faster and faster he moved against her, her fingernails raking erotically across his back as his own release built closer and closer.

His climax overwhelmed him, and he stiffened against her, crying out her name. They remained unmoving, still engaged with him holding the bulk of his weight on his elbows.

“I should bring you good news more often,” he finally said.

She laughed, the joyful sound wrapping around his heart. “Oh, Cameron, that was amazing and you’ve given
