walked over and picked up her suitcase. She went over
and laced her fingers around what she thought was the doorway to the bedroom.
    “It’s just a closet, the bedroom’s this way,” he said as
he crossed the floor to another door on the other side of the room.
    She followed him with her suitcase. When she entered
behind him, and spotted the large queen-sized bed, she knew she must be crazy. She
had to be to even go within five feet of a bed with him.
    Just as well, she walked over to the bed and hoisted her
suitcase up on it before she opened it. “Turn around and look the other way,”
she ordered.
    “What in heaven’s name for?” He sounded irritated and put
off by her request.
    “Just do it.” She felt a little embarrassed.
    When she was completely certain his back was to her, she
quickly unpacked her bras, panties and tampons. She stored them neatly away in the
top drawer of the dresser. “You can look now,” she said as soon as the task was
done.
    “What was such a big secret I couldn’t look?” He had a
grin on his face that made her feel uncomfortable.
    “What do you think?” She wasn’t about to give him a
direct answer.
    He took a peek inside her suitcase. “Your bras and
panties?” Damn it, why did he have to be so nosy?
    “Yes, if you must know,” she said, flushing. She didn’t
like him or any other man knowing her personal business.
    “You don’t think I’ve seen bras and panties in my
lifetime?” He had a devilish gleam in his eyes. She could tell he was enjoying
himself. Too bad it was at her expense.
    “I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of them, but I know for a
fact you haven’t seen mine and that’s the way it’s going to stay.” She hoped he
didn’t go snooping in the drawer now.
    “I wouldn’t be so sure.” He acted so sure of himself. He
wore a smug expression on his face that irritated her.
    “What do you mean? I think invasion of privacy is a
little beneath you, Blade.” She knew she shouldn’t be taunting him, but she was
enjoying herself too much to stop now.
    “Alright, you asked for it.”  In one swift move, he had her
suitcase and clothes off the bed and scattered across the floor. Before she
knew what was happening, Blade was on top of her. What did she get herself
into?
    He was kissing her with a fever she never experienced
before. It was as if he was branding her as his own with every flame he ignited
in her. Would she ever be able to let another man touch her in this way after
this? She doubted it.
    She kissed him back, matching his hunger and desire. His
hands began to explore her body, slowly moving upwards until they were roaming
expertly over the slopes of her breasts. Panic began to set in. Did she really
want him to quit? Part of her wanted him to go on forever, but she knew she
needed to do something.
    She needed him to stop before things went too far, before
she found herself to be just one of the many women on his list to him and the
rest of the world. She shoved him hard. “Stop it!  With behavior like this,
it’s no wonder the activities director quit.” That got his attention. She felt
a loss so powerful she wanted to cry as soon as he pulled away.
    The passion in his eyes flickered before turning to
anger. He got up and began picking her clothes up off the floor. “You think
what I just did with you, I did with her too?” She began to tremble with a
mixture of emotions.
    She could hear the anger in his voice. “Her and every
other woman you meet.” She knew she was taking things too far now, but she
wasn’t in the right state of mind to stop herself. His kisses did that to her.
    He whirled around to face her. “Why do you always think
the worst of me? What you and I experienced on your bed just now doesn’t happen
every day and not with just anyone, either. Stop trying to cheapen what just
happened between us.” There was no denying the anger in his eyes.
    “You really expect me to believe you? I bet you say the
same thing to all
