Chapter 9
One word. Milly could tell Owen yes…and he’d make love to me tonight.
If she said yes, everything would change between them. She was scared of change, but she also knew that this was inevitable, not because he was her husband, but because she wanted to be with him.
To bloody hell with silly schoolgirl reservations. She was going to do it.
“Yes.”
“Thank God.” He spun her around in his arms and kissed her a second later. She heard the sound of fabric ripping and then her chemise fluttered to the ground in a heap of crumbled silk. She was completely naked.
“So beautiful. Do you know how beautiful you are?” Owen’s rough voice made every part of her lower body burn. She attempted to cover her breasts, but he caught her wrists, holding them away from her body. Milly was afraid to look up at him, afraid to believe his words weren’t true.
“Look at me, sweetheart.” His voice was soft, coaxing, and she couldn’t resist. When their gazes met, she held her breath, startled to see stark hunger and appreciation gleaming in his eyes. He really did think she was beautiful.
“I won’t lie to you, ever,” he vowed. “Now, lie back and let me enjoy you, wife.” That flirtatious smile on his face was sharp with desire and a new flutter of nerves stirred in her belly.
“What about your clothes?” She sat on the edge of the bed, secretly delighting in the sinful sensation of her bare bottom on the sheets.
“What?” He chuckled, his gaze raking down her body, clearly not paying attention to what she’d asked him.
“Your clothes, husband. Off. Now.” She pointed a finger at his chest, waving it up and down to indicate he shrug out of his clothes. “I’m not going to be the only naked person in this bed. We ought to be even.” She waited, raising her chin in a way that would make her appear imperious and convey that she must be obeyed. But she had to bite her lip to hide a smile. It also helped to mask the shyness she was feeling of being completely bare and in his bed.
“Very well, you demanding little creature. She who must be obeyed.” He winked as he shrugged out of his shirt and unbuttoned his trousers.
He’d somehow removed his boots without her noticing earlier, which would make it easier for him to shuck off his trousers. That was the last barrier between them, she knew. Once he removed his pants, this thing would happen between them. Knowing that sent little tremors of excitement and anticipation through her.
When he started to tug his trousers down, Milly was distracted by the fascinating V-shaped muscles of his lower belly that carved an obvious path down to his groin. His hands paused and she glanced up at his face to find him watching her.
“Have you ever seen a man…” He shook his head. “No, of course you haven’t.”
“Seen what? A naked man?” It was easy enough to guess his thoughts.
“You haven’t, have you?” His eyes narrowed slightly in mild suspicion.
