It was as if her body, her senses, had shut down completely. There was no sight, no sound, no touch, no smell. Only fear. Paralyzing, heart-stopping fear. Then animal instinct took over and she began to fight for her life. Wildly, Harmony clawed at the hand pressed over her mouth. It was becoming difficult to breathe, and the more she struggled the tighter the hand’s grip became. Harmony felt herself being pulled closer and closer to a lean, hard body.

She took another sip. “That’s it. ” Anthony rose and refilled their glasses, and Harmony found herself in an increased state of wonder and disbelief. She had been kidnapped, and was now being served an excellent brandy from the hand of her kidnapper. They were going to have dinner and a bottle of wine. It wasn’t real. Couldn’t be happening.

Then Anthony’s fingers brushed hers as he held the bottle over her glass and Harmony had a whole new problem to worry about. The sensation at the origin of the touch was like the first taste of the brandy on her tongue.
