Indy lay awake, unable to sleep.
What had just happened? All of her resolutions, all of her promises broken.
Apparently when she saw Raven strip off his clothing, all bets were off.
She’d turned her dreams to reality in the most wanton, shameless way imaginable.
What exactly had they done? She’d certainly never heard of, nor imagined, such an act.
What would one even call such a thing? Simultaneous ministrations? Double the pleasure?
His cock inside her mouth, while he licked her intimate places. Truly depraved.
She wanted to do it again.
She wanted to feel him inside her body, and not only with his fingers, or his tongue.
She loved him. There was no other explanation for this madness.
She loved him, she wanted him, and he made her a fool. While she’d bared herself completely, he’d remained in control of his emotions and his secrets.
Shite. Balls. Damn his topaz eyes! Why must she love him? Why couldn’t she remain impassive?
She rolled onto her side, curling around a pillow. Tomorrow she’d spend the day alone. She needed space to breathe and time to think.
Raven had too much time to think as he crouched in the darkness.
The crenelated wall of Le Triton’s fortress rose before him, piercing the night sky like the spines along the back of some mythological beast.
Four guards patrolled the perimeter of the property. They passed at regular intervals, stopping to exchange a few words before resuming their diverging paths.
He’d seen two more guards atop the walls. No doubt there were at least a dozen guards in total. Le Triton would employ no less.
The main entrance was watched by a gatekeeper whose lamp was still burning. These were no ordinary servants. They were trained, lethal operatives.
Attempting to scale the wall, or enter the fortress by force, would be foolhardy in the extreme.
He must wait for Sir Malcolm’s signal and rendezvous with the attack team. He’d give them the details he’d gleaned and they’d form a plan. He was confident that Malcolm would contact him by tomorrow afternoon.
Then, Raven’s job would be to solicit the invitation to enter the Le Triton’s house as his guest. The Wish Diamond was his entrance fee.
And Indy his enticement.
Tomorrow the game would commence.
He sat back on his heels, remembering their night of passion. The sight of her with her hair tumbling around her shoulders and a purple diamond glittering between her mauve-tipped breasts.
He would remember the sight for the rest of his life. And he would remember the sound of his name on her lips. The exquisite touch of her fingers along his jaw.
The softness of her lips. The silk of her hair brushing across his belly.
When he lay dying, his last thought would be of her, of the heaven he’d known on earth.
The balm of her smile.
The temple of her eyes.
