123 " She still could not believe what he had said to her and that kiss… well, it had been everything a first kiss should have been; passionate, sweet, and overwhelmingly sexy. Just thinking about it made her feel weak. "

CHAPTER EIGHT Toby wasn’t sure how long she had been awake, staring at half of a pillow with the other side of her face buried in it. Only one eye was able to open. She blinked, having no idea where she was and finally lifting her head to look about. Still, she did not recognize the place. It was a larger chamber, dusty, with a broom and a pile of debris in one corner. The fire in the hearth was faded to hot cinder, radiating some heat into the room.

132 " He remembered lusting after her then, but it was nothing compared to now. There was so much more involved in what he felt for her that simple hunger. She was very quickly embedding herself in his heart as well as his mind, and he had no way of knowing how to slow the progression. "
