The moment fell between them like a ripe fruit. She felt a shock in him that mirrored the shock inside of her. He had not planned this. She had not imagined this. I am naked, after all. I am plastered against him. It is not amazing that a man should notice. He was not the first man to push her against a wall and shove his interest in her direction. Versailles had been a viper pit. Men with power believed they could take anything they wanted. Many of them had wanted a fifteen-year- old girl. She had avoided dark corridors. If she pushed him away, he would let go. His hands were ready to open and set her free. Whatever else she believed, she knew this. He wanted her very much and he would let her go. The hard, hot, animal insistence against her belly filled the center of her mind. A curious silence took possession of her. The busy niggling of thought faded away. There was only feeling. What had been fear transformed to an explicit, earthy wanting. She tightened and throbbed. A heady, sweet, buzzing invaded. Doyle's chest rose and fell in deep, even strokes. The little motion of his breathing was a caress to her skin. The callused palm he held on her neck slid downward. When his hand got to her bottom, he brought her an inch closer. Pressed her to him. He waited to see what her answer would be.
