"It was lonely in here a while ago,"
she said softly. The gardenia-petal
lids lifted for an Instant and hia
breath caught in his throat. “Did
you hear me singing? That was the
way 1 felt. ‘Blue as the Night’. But
now it is nice in the firelight with
you very close to me. Just the two
of us—a million miles from the rest
of the world.”
Her voice was like velvet. She was
pressed close to his side now. Her
lingers kept up that slow exciting
movement along Ins bare arm. it
soothed him and yet it induced a
strangely dangerous languor that
held him lightly reined.

touch. A strange girl of lure and

quality in her stirred a hitherto un*
known mood and caught him sud

emotion. His pulse beat like a voo

he hated her! For tire first time In

overpowering desire to hurt, a wom

her. She belonged to him. She was
his possession. Then let her make

body into the curve of his embrace —
Her red lips whispered against his
throat, “Val. listen to me. darling.
