Love in the Moon

SHE WAS BREATHLESS

"You are mine, Caneda, and I want you! I want you now!"

As Duc de Saumac finished speaking his lips were on hers and he was kissing her. Now there was a fire on his lips that was like nothing Caneda Lang had ever imagined, and yet although it was so fierce and so demanding, she felt herself unaccountably responding to it.

He kissed her until she was breathless, until she felt as if the room spun dizzily round her, and it would be impossible for her to stand unsupported on her feet.

Then he said, and his voice was hoarse and passionate: "I want you! God, how I want you! Go and get into my bed, my darling. There is no reason for us to wait any longer."
