wouldn’t kill you.”
      “I am just fine with the way I am.”
      She didn’t give up.
      “Well, maybe you are, but I think you would be amazed at how good it feels to let go sometimes. Unwind.”
      “Is that so?” he asked with raised eyebrows.
      “Are you volunteering to show me how to, Victoria?”
      A shiver ran down her spine. Oh boy would she. Then an impish thought crossed her mind. She looked at the water hose on the sink. Should she?
      “I could teach you a few things,” was her suggestive reply.
      “And just what did you have in mind?” Drue returned the challenging question.
      Was he really playing this game with her?
      Before he had any idea of what she was doing, Tori grabbed the hose and sprayed Drue straight in the face, lukewarm water soaking him.
      “You could cool off for starters and not get so irritated about the little things.” She said laughing whole-heartedly watching water drip from his face.
      Drue went very still.
      In a controlled tone he said, “Victoria I am warning you…”
      He didn’t get any further. Tori proceeded to spray the front of his shirt down to the crotch of his jeans laughing all the while.
      Just as she turned to put the hose down Drue grabbed for her and pulled her against him, the hand and the hose pinned between them.
      Her laughter died in her throat when she looked into Drue’s stormy green eyes. Turbulent and intense she knew she was in trouble.
      “You’re playing with fire, Victoria.” he ground out. “I told you this afternoon you should remember what happens when you strike a match.”
      He brought his lips to hers then with a demanding, penetrating kiss. Tori dropped the hose and her arms snaked around his neck and sifted through his hair.
      She felt such a need ignite inside her it couldn’t be ignored. She needed to be closer to him to feel his body against hers.
      Tori returned his kiss with a passion she didn’t even know she possessed. Never had she experienced such exploding desire. She was on fire from the inside out.
      His tongue probed the inside of her mouth touching and tasting in wild abandon. Tori felt the counter behind her as Drue pushed her back against it. She felt too his response to her against her leg through the restraining material of his jeans.
      His hands moved down her sides to cup her bottom in his hands and lift her against him as his quest continued.
      He lifted her to the countertop where she wrapped her legs around him holding him tighter to her.
    As if of their own accord her hips were grinding into his erection. God but he made her wet.
      A moan escaped Tori at the sensations spreading through her. Never had any man made her feel the way Drue did. She was sure she was one of the few twenty-four-year-old virgins left in the world and didn’t have much experience to draw from, but his touch was exquisite. She loved the feel of his mouth on her and his hands trailing her body. She returned his passionate kisses with fevered need.
      Just as quickly as he had started, Drue stopped just as suddenly.
      He stared down at Victoria incredulously, his eyes dark with desire.
      Off-balance and wanting his lips back where they had been, she tried to pull him back.
      He pulled away and took a step back.
      “Drue?” she questioned as she gently brushed his cheek.
      He started at her touch as if she had burned him and released her from his hold.
    He might as well have slapped her. The pain would not have been nearly as bad as being rejected like this.
      She turned her back to him facing the kitchen sink and stared out the window as tears welled in her eyes.
      I will NOT cry. I won’t, she lectured herself.
      “Victoria, I am so sorry.” Drue started very solemnly.
      She couldn’t take it. Why had he stopped? Why had he even started something?
      She knew he had felt what she was feeling. She had felt his reaction to her. They hadn’t done anything wrong. It
