rising again and looked away, breathing hard. There was no
way that he was going to do this again.
    With a
determination that he had never known that he possessed, he reached down and
pulled up first her panties, then her jeans, trying his best not to look at
her. Once he had her jeans snapped again, he breathed a sigh of relief that
half the job was done. He looked at he breasts, wondering how he was going to
get her bra back on without touching her. He felt his desire rising to an even
higher level and had to turn away to gain control of himself.
    When he felt
he had enough control, he knelt beside her on the bed, pulling her into a
sitting position. His hand brushed her breast as he pulled the bra into place
but he gritted his teeth and continued his task. He quickly discovered that it
was much easier to undo a bra than to put one in place.
    but he
eventually managed and lay her back down. He pulled her shirt closed and
quickly buttoned it, then cursed as he realized that he had buttoned it wrong.
He unbuttoned her shirt again, lined up the buttons and buttoned it again. When
he finally finished, he breathed another sigh of relief. He fought the urge to
stroke her cheek again and kiss her; that way led to real trouble.
    Chris rose
from the bed and walked to the wall, which was as far away from her as he could
get. He was searching the wall for a hidden door when he heard Kelly call his
name. He froze. Now he was going to have to tell her what he’d done.
    “Chris, is
that you?” Kelly asked.
    Chris
swallowed hard as he turned. “Yes,” he answered quietly.
    She was
sitting on the edge of the bed, gazing at him with an expression that he
couldn’t name. “Where are we?”
    “I don’t
know.” He didn’t move, afraid that if he moved closer to her, he might repeat
his disgraceful actions.
    She rose,
quickly crossing the room to where he was standing. She slid her arms around
his neck. “Well, if I have to be stuck somewhere I’m glad it’s with you.”
    Chris was
surprised both by her actions and her words. Even so, he slid his arms around
her waist; he couldn’t seem to help himself even though he knew that it
probably wasn’t a good idea to do so. He didn’t resist as she pulled his head
down and began to kiss him.
    He felt his
desire starting to rise again but, since she didn’t seem to mind, he wouldn’t
either. Maybe she won’t mind that I raped her, was his only thought before he
abandoned himself to the kiss. He pulled her tightly against him and deepened
the kiss.
    “Take me
now,” she whispered huskily in his ear a few minutes later.
    He raised
his head, his mind suddenly clearing. He looked down into her green eyes for a
moment before reaching up and pulling her arms from around his neck. He
frowned; there was something definitely wrong here.
    Kelly
pouted. “Don’t you want me?”
    More than
you can possibly imagine, was his thought as he held her arms at her side. He
took a deep breath; he had never imagined that doing the right thing could be
so hard. “What’s wrong with you?” he whispered.
    “Nothing.
I’m just finally letting my feelings for you show.”
    He sighed,
wishing that it was true. “Kelly, think for a minute. This isn’t you. Why are
you acting this way?”
    “I want you
to kiss me.”
    “No.”
    She broke
free of his hold and reached up to pull his head down she that she could kiss
him again. He held himself rigid so she couldn’t reach his lips, grateful for
his six-foot height. He finally managed to grab hold of her arms again and
turned her around so that her back was to the wall; it would be easier to hold
her there.
    She looked
at him, tears in her eyes. “I know that you sleep with anyone who is willing. I
guess I’m not pretty enough for you.”
    “It’s not
that, Kelly,” Chris answered through gritted teeth. “There’s something not
right here and I’m not doing anything until I figure out what it is.”
    Kelly
started to cry and Chris was moved to
