Had he really felt her tongue briefly, tentatively, stroke his skin? Every desire he had tried to control during their sojourn in the cave was running wild. "Dinna do it, Revan," he muttered to himself even as he smoothed his hand over her thick, unbound hair. Leaning back just a little, Tess stared up at him. "Dinna do what?" His eyes were a stormy gray, and the look they held stirred her blood as much as his hands. She placed her hands on his chest, lightly caressing its smooth, taut breadth.
