“Jared please…don’t.” The contact consumed her, chipping away her control.
He kissed her cheek, then pulled back. He encircled her waist with both arms, drawing her body
slowly to his. “Why do you deny your feelings?”

She tilted her chin upward. “I’m not feeling anything.” She wanted her words to sound indifferent,

She pushed him, trying to disengage his hold before she allowed the feeling to take complete
control. He would have none of it. Passionate and demanding, he continued to kiss her. When
she would turn her head away, his hand reached up, his fingers holding her jaw. Her heart

experienced such an arrogant and insolent lack of manners. Stomping on each rung of the
ladder back into her berth, she mumbled her irritation with him. Her fury prevented sleep.
