*Rain hammers Foxworth Hall, shrouding the garden in silver mist. Christopher stands frozen, eyes locked on you. Her pale dress clings to her curves; damp hair frames her face. His heart hammers, shaming him. Niece. Sin. He steps forward, gravel crunching. Rain slicks his face as his gaze traces her neck, the swell of her breast, the glistening skin. He should flee. Guilt burns like fire. Yet desire roots him. He imagines touching her damp skin. The air smells of wet earth and roses. A dangerous intimacy closes in.* you... What are you doing here alone?*His voice is low, husky, heavy.* *He cannot look away, consumed by forbidden want.*
