.And an houri is someone who would give me my heart's desire.Will you, my angel? My brave, incorrigible angel."She ignored the barb and his pointed questions, so she could bend over the seat and find the little boy who had disappeared almost the very instant Alexi sat down beside her."Need any help?" His hand rested possessively just below the small of her back.She moved her hips, trying halfheartedly to dislodge his hand, while she successfully gave the boy the candy.Alexi moved his hand lower, squeezing gently."No." She gasped, sitting back indignantly after giving Alexi a warning scowl.His hand sneaked around her waist, then higher, until she felt the warmth of his fingers below the rounded curve of her breasts.He caressed the underside slowly.She jerked with the sensation."Alexi!" She panicked."I want to taste you right here," he whispered, his ringer touching her nipple through the fabric of her shirt."You'll taste better than strawberries and cream."The warmth of his words and his touch engulfed her, simmered deep inside.She wanted him to deliver on his promise."Devil," she whispered, then poked his chest with her forefinger."I shall scream."He shrugged his shoulders indifferently."Ah, but you love my attentions." Beneath her jacket, his thumb passed over her nipple, once, twice."And, my darling, you wouldn't want me arrested, because then you'd have to do without me."She did love his attentions--and everything else about him--and that was the crux of the matter.They'd arrived in Cheyenne only to find that his personal rail car had been demolished two weeks earlier by an engine that had raced out of control.The promises of sensual bliss he'd made to her as they rode during the day and slept chastely in each other's arms on the ground during the night could not be fulfilled.Ever since the bad news, he'd been alternately in a foul mood then a teasing one.One minute he couldn't keep his hands away from her, the next she'd find herself alone and Alexi off pacing somewhere."I love your attentions only when you're nice." She breathed deeply, willing sanity to return."I'm always nice." He moved closer, his body shielding her from any eyes that might be directed their way.He tossed his greatcoat around her shoulders, hiding her from any lingering eyes."Let's go for a walk.I know just the place."She looked into his eyes, and the heat and the desire she saw there swamped her.Moistening her lips, all she could do was nod.He pulled her to her feet and let her pass in front of him.His hands resting on her shoulder, he guided her to the end of the car and outside, where the wind whistled and the iron wheels roared as sparks flew heavenward.They were alone, isolated from the rows of sleeping passengers.Only the endless miles of empty prairie surrounded them.In less than a second she was in his arms, his cloak around them shielding them from any prying eyes.His mouth crushed down on hers, his tongue prodding, searching for entrance.She allowed it, desired him more than life itself.All the while, his free hand languidly slid up her dress and across her bare thigh.His callused fingers were abrasive against her inner leg.The caresses was practiced and intimate.The contact promised so much."Alexi." She squirmed and tried to dislodge his hand.She had not dreamed that he would be so daring.He wouldn't be denied."Hush.There is no one here except the two of us.""But Alexi."Nor, it seemed, would he allow her to run from him."I want to pleasure you.""Alexi…" She couldn't think."This isn't a good idea," she finally got out.As he taunted and teased her--and as the evening darkened--his caresses became bolder.He would have his way; she knew that.She' d given up trying to control him or command dominance.Yet she often spoke her mind.He would scowl then he would soothe his anger at her outspokenness with passion."Ah, sweet concubine," he drawled softly next to her ear."Allow a starving man a few comforts of home and let me see to your pleasure." His hand moved upon her stomach, making her shudder and want him more than anything she could imagine."Please.Alexi, there are people just inside that door.They could come out here just as we have done." Her heart pounded and she could barely breathe."Everyone can see us.""No one will step through that door.I will not allow it.It is dark and you are completely hidden from anyone's view, even mine." His eyes smoldered with sensual promise."Close your eyes and pretend my mouth is here, where my hands are.I'll do that to you soon.I'll kiss you right here." His hand moved inches, delved intimately."And here." His lips touched her ear; his breath, hot and erotic, feathered across her neck.Adept fingers flicked open buttons on her shirt then the ribbons of her camisole.Sensually, flesh against flesh, he stroked the valley between her breasts, teased and taunted in ever smaller circles without touching the hard, budding crests.The moon shone in all its splendor through a scattering of clouds, and the stars twinkled brightly.The world was asleep."I can't think.Alexi!" She breathed his name, the words short and staccato.She couldn't tell him she wanted him to stop.She couldn't lie to him.One of his hands teased the crest of one breast, the other caressed feminine secrets beneath her skirt.She could not deny him."Open your eyes," he said."Touch me.Feel my passion for you." He set her hand against his arousal.For a few long seconds she could not respond
