Mia intended to enjoy herself. She had no idea what motivated her husband, how long he’d remain by her side, and she knew she wouldn’t ask.

But that only spurred her to make certain that all the desires she’d ever dreamed of were fulfilled while she had Cade here. This might be her only chance.

She’d done endless turns around the ballrooms of London, and she’d never experienced a man who delighted her every sense the way he did.

Feeling for her armoire, she opened the door and reached in, pulling out a silky scarf. It was slightly opaque, enough that she imagined it would allow him to see blurry images but no more.

Exactly like her…

She turned back to him, holding the scarf with one hand, sliding her other along its length. She wished she could see his reaction. She rarely wished for sight anymore, but this one time…

While she didn’t get to see his response, she heard it. His quick intake of breath, the way he shifted in his seat. “What are you planning, minx?”

“Minx? I thought I was your little bird?”

He chuckled then. “I did call you that, didn’t I? I think I might have had it wrong.”

She moved toward him. “In answer to your first question, I thought I might tie it about your eyes. Then you can experience the world—or more specifically me—the way I feel you.”

He made a rumble deep in his throat, the sound predatory as he rose from his chair. “You want to blindfold me?”

“It’s a bit see-through...partially translucent. I think.”

He reached for the scarf, and she could see just enough to know that he lifted the fabric to his eyes. “It is.”

“I can see some of you now, the shape of your shoulder, the set of your jaw. It’s the particulars I can’t make out.”

In answer, he lifted the fabric to his face, and she listened while he tied the knot at the back of his head, cinching it tight. Then he reached for her hand, taking it in his. “I just realized I likely should have undressed before I put on the blindfold.”

She laughed as she ran a hand over his chest. “We’ll figure out how to get you out of your clothes, I’m certain.”

He chuckled too, the sound reverberating through her hand. “Right. I’ve an expert here, don’t I?”

Pleasure made her cheeks heat. An expert. People rarely used such terms for her. Sliding her hands under his coat, she pushed the garment over the breadth of his shoulders. “So large,” she murmured. “Do all men have shoulders this big?”

“No,” he answered, a bit of possessiveness lacing through his voice and making her shiver. “Only me.”

“Only you…” Her fingers came to the buttons of his waistcoat, and she undid them one by one. “And your muscles. They are so defined. Not like mine.”

“Other men don’t have those either,” he growled out, hooking a hand about her waist to pull her close.

She clucked her tongue. “If I’m against you, I can’t undress you.”

“Will you touch
