…Sharon stopped breathing when her fingers brushed his. They had to get back inside. He was too masculine, too overpowering for her to resist in her present state. Even Myrt's old sedan took on the aura of a solitary wagon on a long-ago starlit plain. Sharon drank more of the strong beverage, then said, "We'd better go in."

Joe took her cup and drained the contents before putting it back into the bag. He did the same with his own, then lifted her chin.

Before she could move, he leaned down and brushed her lips softly.

It happened so fast that Sharon had no time to protest. Did she want to? She merely felt disappointed when it ended so abruptly. She swayed toward him, unbalanced as she was by his kiss.

Joe crushed her to him as a deep moan escaped his lips. For a moment, Sharon thought he called out another woman's name. She was startled by the overwhelming emotions that swept through her traitorous body. Her arms went around him and explored the taut muscles of his back.

Again and again he kissed her, and Sharon didn't want him to stop. His mouth pulled a response from her like nothing she'd ever known. Not even with…what was she thinking?

Confused and shaken, she twisted away and searched for the door handle. Joe reached around her and lifted it easily, then put his hand on her arm.

"Sharon, don't shut me out. What are you feeling?"

His need was strong; she could hear it in his voice.
