It sounded to Killian as if she had made up her mind to something—to do something—and was determined not to allow anything to make her change it. All of which confirmed to Killian that the decisions he had made few minutes ago in regard to make love with Eve tonight was the right one.

"Could you pull back the bedcovers?" He lowered her slightly so that she could turn back the brocade cover and the duvet, before lowering her completely onto the bed. Her arms fell from his neck as he straightened slightly to look down at her. Her hair was an ebony tumble against the creation silk sheets. "Roll over," he encouraged gruffly as he took the black gently out of her hand and placed it on the bedside cabinet.

"Roll...?"

Killian allowed himself to chuckle softly at her doubtful expression. "Don't look so worried, Eve. My only intention is to unzip the back of your gown, not to force some strange sexual practise on you."

Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she glanced at him over the bareness of her shoulder once she had rolled slightly away from him. "Maybe force wouldn't be necessary."

Killian drew in a sharp breath as he bent down to slowly lower the zip at the back of her black gown. That breath stay caught in his throat as he took in the creamy perfection of Eve's long,naked spine and revealing the top of a pair of her black silky panties.

Killian clenched his hand into fists in an effort to stop himself from touching the creamy length of Eve's bared flesh now so temptingly revealed to him, and a nerve pulsed in his jaw as she rolled over to face him again, allowing him to lower the gown down over her breasts and the slenderness of her waist, curvaceous hips, long silky legs before discarding it completely.

Those black silky panties were the only item she wore—a perfect foil for the creamy naked swell of her breasts. Full and pert breasts,tipped with rose-coloured nipples, which were swelling, hardening under the heated intensity of Kayden's gaze.

Eve was beautiful everywhere—so very beautiful—and in way that made Killian ache just from looking at her.

"Killian?" Eve looked up at him uncertainly. The man's nostril flared as he breathed out deeply before bending slightly so that he could pull the covers gently over Eve's tempting nakedness.

Her eyes widened."What are you doing..?"

Killian sat on the side of the bed, securing those bedcovers beneath her arms as he reached up and smoothed the silky hair back from her temples.

"I would very much like to kiss you goodnight,if that is agreeable to you."

"Goodnight..?"

Killian gave a gentle smile."I believe you have already suffered enough excitement for one evening don't you?"

Eve could hardly call the time she had spent this evening nor bursting dam of emotions! Nor would she compare either of those things to the thrill of just imagining making love with Killian...

"I don't understand."
