bedroom, coming to an abrupt halt when Gabriel caught her arm, pulling her back against his chest.
    “What?”
    His smile sent a chill down her spine. “Even though you haven’t given me that clit yet, those hands are mine, as well as those fingers. You can’t use them to masturbate.”
    Furious that he’d outmaneuvered her, she lifted her chin to glare at him. “Are you trying to piss me off?”
    “No, I’m just trying to get you to take this seriously. I always took you for a woman of her word. You never play games and you mean what you say. That’s what I want from you now.”
    “I never go back on my word.”
    A muscle worked in his jaw, need darkening and narrowing his eyes. “All or nothing, Kelsey. Decide right here. Right now.”
    Kelsey rubbed her thighs together against the overwhelming ache that had her pussy leaking even more moisture. Damn, he turned her on . “No expectations, right?”
    She wanted to make it clear that she wouldn’t expect more after the week was over.
    Gabriel inclined his head, his expression closed and distant. “If that’s the way you want it. For now.”
    She thought she saw a glimmer of hurt in his eyes and figured she must have imagined it. Lifting her chin, she met his gaze squarely. “That’s the way it has to be.”
    His eyes narrowed. “Anything else that you want to negotiate?”
    Glancing at his lips, she licked her own, fighting the clawing need to have his mouth on hers. Scared at how intimate one of his kisses could be, Kelsey nodded, swallowing heavily. “And no kissing, right?”
    Gabriel didn’t seem at all surprised, smiling as he ran his fingers through her hair. “I wondered if you’d stand firm on that. If you mean, no kissing on the mouth, I’ll agree to that for now. I reserve the right to kiss you elsewhere, though.”
    Bending low until their lips nearly touched, he sighed. “Whenever you change your mind, let me know. I can’t wait to have that mouth under mine.” Lifting his head, he raised a brow again, the gesture so sexy, she wanted to jump him. “Anything else?”
    Smiling despite her nerves, and feeling a little more confident, Kelsey grinned and tossed her hair back. “Nope. A week of pleasure is just what I need.”
    A week to immerse herself in Gabriel’s lovemaking and bask in his attention.
    He nodded once in satisfaction. “Good. We understand each other. This week is about discovery and pleasure. Let’s go to bed.” Wrapping an arm around her shoulder, he started for the bedroom. “In case you haven’t noticed, there’s only one bed. You’ll sleep with me, of course.”
    Kelsey had noticed that the room held only one bed as soon as they’d arrived, and the knowledge that she would be sleeping with him had been hovering in her mind all day.
    “I’ve never actually slept with anyone before.”
    Gabriel’s smile lit his features. “One of many firsts together. I’ll cherish it. By the way, darling, you’ll sleep naked.”

    Kelsey fisted her hand on the pillow beneath her head, resisting the urge to shift to a more comfortable position. There was no comfortable position. Lying naked on her side, with the warmth of Gabriel’s body at her back, she couldn’t settle, more aware of her body than she’d ever been before.
    Gabriel’s hand moved up and down her arm, his gentle caress both soothing and arousing. “Relax, Kelsey. I’m not going to attack you.”
    His husky, low tone increased the level of intimacy in the dark bedroom, strengthening the bond between them she fought so hard to ignore.
    “How the hell am I supposed to relax with your cock pressing against my back? How long can you stay hard anyway?”
    Chuckling, he pressed his cock against her bottom and bent to nuzzle her neck, sending more delicious waves through her. “Say the words, Kelsey. Say that your body is mine while we’re here, and I’ll make you come. I want the words from you.”
    She sucked in a breath at his erotic
