hands clasped between his.
    He released her hands and brushed away the bangs draping over her eyes, then lowered his hands to her waist and pulled her closer.
    “Where were we?” he drawled. His mouth moved back over hers, soft, warm and ever so inviting.
    Jaynee melted under Jordan’s touch, wondering how this man had escaped every other woman. His tongue slid across her lips, parting them, then slowly circled her tongue. Electricity soared through her under his embrace. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself closer. His lips were urgent, making her want more. She lowered her hands to his chest and began to unbutton his shirt.
    Unexpectedly, he moved his hands from around her waist and gathered both of her wrists. He pulled her hands to his chest, effectively stopping her progress.
    Her mind raced, had she done something wrong?
    Jordan’s lips slowed as his mouth progressed the line of her jaw to her ear. “Not tonight, my love,” he whispered through delicate kisses. “Not until you can give me all of you, heart and soul.” He pulled her closer and caressed her hair. His warm breath saturated her neck, sending chills down her spine.
    The emotions that raged through her terrified her. Giving away her body was easy; she couldn’t give up her heart. Never again. Why was he doing this to her?
    “Jaynee, I don’t want to scare you, but I have feelings for you. I don’t kno w how this could happen so fast, it certainly hasn’t ever happened before. But I am willing to follow through if you will open up.”
    What was he implying? He mentioned feelings but also said “my love”. Warmth overflowed her veins again, and she was positive her heart would pound through her chest. For the first time in years, she wanted to trust someone, wanted to believe. Dare she succumb, knowing he would shatter her sanity? She didn’t possess the strength to resist nor did she want to. But would he get up and leave the moment she disclosed her past?
    “Where would you like me to begin?” Her throat was so dry; her words came out in a raspy murmur as if she hadn’t spoken all day. “How much do you want to know?”
    “Everything.” He leaned back against the arm of the couch and stared into her eyes again. “You’ll have to give up all your demons; I have too much to give. You will have to empty yourself completely to make room for my love.” Jaynee looked down to her lap, and once again, Jordan lifted her chin, forcing her to look at his steel-blue eyes. “I have waited for you all my life, Jaynee. I didn’t believe it was possible, but I believe now.” He took her face between both hands as if to give testament to his words. “I have been struck. Not by the proverbial love-at-first-sight or Cupid’s arrow, but by something more powerful.
    “From the second our eyes met, electricity soared through me, and somehow you became the center of my universe. Nothing else seemed to matter. I wasn’t looking for this. I tried to get up and leave the restaurant the moment it happened, but I couldn’t, even when you turned me down. But the funny thing is…I saw it in your eyes yesterday, and I see it now. You felt it too, didn’t you?”
    How could she deny him? She was hesitant, but she needed to be truthful. “Yes, but it’s simply not possible—”
    He grasped her shoulders and pulled her closer, cutting off her words with a kiss that demanded everything. His mouth enveloped hers, making her want more. Once again, though, he pulled back too soon.
    “You did experience it?” Jaynee nodded, her head spinning from the kiss he’d planted on her. He sighed. “Thank God, and you’re not going to dismiss me as if I’m some kind of maniac?”
    “No…” She gulped, knowing he meant well, but positive he’d leave. “But you still want to hear my story?”
    He nodded his head with a little tilt. “Yes. I want to take it from you, but only if you are ready.” He brushed her hair back away from her face
