words.
“You’re welcome.”
    Sabrina thought about what he’d said earlier, about having her kiss him for the first time on her own. She put her plate down and got up on her knees. With the lightest touch, she kissed him then pulled back. When he didn’t move, she became bolder and kissed him again. Sabrina remembered how he had nibbled on her lips, licked them sensuously and she tried it out on him. The effect was exactly what she had been hoping to do to him. He reacted just as she did. He groaned a moment before his arms when around her and he pulled her down to the ground, his broad shoulders blocking out what remained of the sunlight as his hand cushioned her head against the hard desert earth.
    She moaned softly when he took over the kiss and she allowed her hands to move over him, explore his shoulders, his arms and the amazing muscles in his biceps. She unbuttoned the first few buttons of his shirt and slipped her hands inside, reveling at the feeling of his warm skin against the palm of her hands.
    The feeling of his hands under her shirt made her inhale sharply but she didn’t want him to stop. She wanted more, she needed to feel his hands covering her and touching her. She pulled his shirt out of his jeans and placed her hands flat on his chest, loving the velvety smoothness covering the steel of his muscles.
    “Sabrina,” he groaned and suddenly his hands were touching her stomach as well and his mouth was covering hers in a ravenous kiss. But the heat was too much and she pulled back, terrified of how much she wanted him. When his mouth moved lower, nibbling at her neck, her ear, her shoulder that had somehow become uncovered from her blouse, she arched against him, her eyes closed and her body shivering from the heat his lips were generating.
    He moved once again, his knee nudging her legs apart. Sabrina, mindless with the unknown, didn’t understand initially. Then she felt him between her legs, felt his erection against her thigh and the desire she felt was too much. The feelings she’d been experiencing only a moment ago instantly froze inside her.
“Sid, stop, please,” she called out to him, wriggling free from his embrace. “I can’t!” she gasped, terrified of what she was feeling, what he could do to her.
    Sid instantly pulled away and looked into her eyes. When he saw the terror there, he gritted his teeth but fell backwards, his hand covering his eyes as he lay back against the hard earth.
Sabrina pulled away, pulling her arms around her shoulders and trying to control the feelings that were ripping through her system.
     
“We’d better get out of here,” he said suddenly. He instantly pulled himself to a standing position and started gathering up their picnic.
    Sabrina helped him, but her fingers were shaking so badly she wasn’t much help. And she felt too miserable and confused to start up a conversation. Each time she looked at him, she noticed the hard set to his handsome jaw and wished she could get the relaxed Sid back. But she didn’t know how.
    He packed the picnic into the back of the helicopter and they both got into their seats. Sid flew the aircraft with silent efficiency while Sabrina sat huddled in her seat in a mass of misery and embarrassment. She couldn’t believe that she’d gotten so scared of something wonderful. In her mind, she knew that Sid would never hurt her. The fact that he’d stopped immediately as soon as she asked, was evidence of his control. But when her body tumbled along like that, she just wasn’t sure what was happening. She was out of control and it scared her.
    Back at the hotel, Sabrina was ready to simply walk out and go home, knowing that Sid probably didn’t want anything else to do with her. He was used to females who knew how to play the game. She was just a silly virgin who didn’t want to get burned by a man who could easily set her body on fire but didn’t know how to react to the flames.
“Where are you going?” he demanded
