Night Fire (30 page)
Authors: Catherine Coulter

He kissed her then, slowly, thoroughly. He paused a moment, his eyes on her breasts.

“That sounds vastly romantic, Arielle.”
“That sounds,” she said, “like a long time away. There is much, Burke Drummond, that you must accomplish before breakfast.”
“Yes,” he said, looking at her from her forehead to her toes. “Now hush, for I am a thorough man and have no wish to be distracted.”
“All right,” she said and pulled him down to her.
