softness as he dazzled the most intimate secrets of her with his hand, while he kissed the curve of
    her shoulder hungrily.
    „My woman,“ he breathed.
    Jessica wrapped her arms around his neck. „Yes. Yes, Lucas!“
    He shifted his weight, coming tightly against her softness as he covered her length with his own. Jessica gasped
    as she felt him slowly, inevitably fill her completely. The thrusting impact of him made her mind swirl in a sensual
    vertigo. Her body accepted the invasion eagerly.
    He locked them together and held them both unbearably still for a long moment as if savoring the experience to the
    utmost. And then, as if he could no longer restrain himself, Lucas moved against her, establishing a primeval rhythm
    that captured her body and chained it to his own.
    Jessica gave herself up to the thrilling pattern of his lovemaking, her body responding joyously on all levels. She
    wrapped him close, letting him make them as one being. The coiling tension in her loins made it difficult to breathe as it
    tightened unbelievably. Her eyes squeezed tightly shut; her world revolved completely now around the man above
    her. Past and future were unimportant. Only this shivering, explosive need to satisfy and be satisfied counted in this
    tiny, enthralling universe.
    He was losing himself in her. Jessica knew it and gloried in the knowledge. She wanted Lucas as tightly bound to
    her as she was to him. Together they obeyed the quickening beat of their passion until the ultimate conclusion came
    flashing toward them, engulfing both before they knew exactly what was happening. It was a sweeping, shattering
    sensation that seemed to explode the universe around them into bursting fragments of light and power.
    Through the shimmering, convulsive finale, Lucas held her as if he would never let her go, her name a muffled cry
    on his lips that was both an endearment and an exclamation of masculine triumph and satisfaction.
    Down, down they floated, their bodies still tightly locked together as the aftermath of their passion made it
    impossible to move for timeless moments. Slowly, eventually, reality returned there on the floor of the desert canyon.
    The soft gurgle of the stream, the quiet sounds of the night, the even breathing of the man in whose arms she lay, all
    impinged on Jessica’s sense of awareness. Tentatively, she shifted beneath the heavy weight of him, her eyes opening
    languidly.
    As if her small stirring were the catalyst needed to pull him back to reality, too, Lucas raised his head from her
    breast to gaze down at her softened, vulnerable face. The silver moonlight glanced off the roughly hewn planes of his
    cheek and jaw and his iron-gray eyes seemed to drink in her features with a deep possessiveness.
    Gently, Lucas raised his hands to cup her face. It seemed a long time before he found the words he wanted.
    „Things won’t ever be the same between us again. You know that, don’t you, Jessie?“ he finally grated heavily.
    „Yes,“ she agreed very quietly. „I know that“
    It was the truth and it was shattering. She had given herself to this man completely. And for no other reason than
    that he had reached out to take her! He had wanted her and had claimed her as if she were his by right Even as he
    rolled reluctantly to one side and helped her stumble awkwardly to her feet Jessica began the mental tirade she knew
    she would be castigating herself with for a long time to come. But nothing could change what had happened between
    them tonight As long as she was a part of his small tribe, subject to his leadership, Jessica knew she would be his.
    She winced as her bare foot encountered a small rock and men she submitted to being dressed by her lover. No,
    she thought dazedly, not my lover. The dominant male in the herd. I have given myself to the male who holds the most
    power in this corner of the world. What did that make her?
    Lucas said little as he finished getting both of them dressed and then he
