Shonali paused.
“I couldn’t let it. For a while, it looked as if it might have taken too much from me, that accident. I wouldn’t let it take this, too. So I fought. When I fight, I win. I haven’t won all the way yet. I don’t ride as much as I used to. I will, though. One day at a time.”
“Take me for a ride,” said Adam suddenly.
Shonali looked at him in surprised.
If he’d been trying to seduce her, he couldn’t have said anything better.
Oh, how she did want to take him for a ride!
“You’d trust me to do that?”
Adam smiled, that slow, steady, gorgeous smile that reached all the way to his eyes.
“I’d trust you with my body.”
Ah, that was definitely a come on, wasn’t it?
Feeling more at ease, Shonali walked to him.
“Would you?” she asked, the voice soft and sexy.
He nodded, and this time, she waited for him.
He leaned forward and kissed her. This time, she was braced for the impact.
It still rocked through her, making her feel as if she had lost her footing and was tumbling.
She felt his hands sliding around her back and pulling her closer to him. She went to him willingly, molding her generous curves to the long, lean, hard planes of his body.
When they broke apart, her smile was sexy and slumberous.
“I live upstairs. I’ve got a very comfortable bed,” she invited brazenly.
Why not?
She had learned the hard way that it was important to seize the moment and live exactly as you pleased, hadn’t she?
Right now, she wanted him.
Why would she deny herself that pleasure, the pleasure they both wanted, just because she had just met him?
He had saved her life. Was it possible to know anybody more intimately, after all? She doubted it.
“Shonali, are you sure?”
His hesitation nearly put a damper on things. But she saw the effort it took for him to hold on to that control.
No, it wasn’t easy for him.
Her smile widened.
“Come with me,” said Shonali, and she slipped out of her jacket, leaving it right there on the floor.
Turning around, she led him up to her home.
She let herself in, opening the door and holding it open for him. He walked in, and turned to her.
He didn’t say a word. He just waited.
Shonali smiled again and untied the neck of her dress, letting it drop.
Proud of her beauty, she stood there, wearing only soft silk panties that emphasized her curvy hips, and waited.
“You’re beautiful,” he said, and his voice was deep and husky.

“Come here and show me,” invited Shonali, and with every step Adam took closer to her, it felt as if her body was being taken over by the kind of desire that simply would not be denied.
She watched as he slipped his T-shirt up and over his head, and she licked her lips appreciatively.
She wasn’t shy.
She knew what she wanted, and what she wanted was the man walking towards her.
