Chapter 17

Eliza awoke to someone kissing her neck.

Today, though, it was not Willy.

“Good morning,” Hugh murmured, his hands skating up and down her arms. “I can tell you’re awake, Lady Hastings.”

She tried to stifle her laugh. “How can you tell that?”

“Because I’ve been making free of your body for some time now, learning every little thing that makes you twitch and sigh and moan.” His hand settled around her breast, his thumb stroking roughly over her nipple. “As your husband, I ought to know these things.”

That explained why her heart was already racing and her skin felt hot. Eliza stretched and realized with a shock that her nightgown was up over her hips—and even more, that her husband was naked. No sooner did she move her legs than his slid between them, his own strong and hairy and so much bigger than hers. It was startling, and arousing, and so shocking, she said the first thing that came into her head. “Where’s Willy?”

His chest shook with silent laughter. “He whined to go out some time ago. Bernard took him to the kitchen.”

“Oh.” Eliza wished she weren’t such an idiot, to mention the dog when her husband was making love to her. “Thank you.”

“I had to throw him off the bed last night.” His hand slid down her belly, right between her thighs. Her pulse went wild. He was making free with her body, and she was feverishly anxious for him to do it faster and harder. “I don’t want to begin our married life by making rules, but that is one: the dog sleeps in his bed, and I sleep in mine.” He nipped at the skin below her ear. “With my wife.”

“If you insist . . .” His fingers probed boldly between her thighs and Eliza parted her legs in invitation.

“I do.” He groaned, his mouth open against her neck, as he pushed one, then two fingers inside her. “My wife,” he repeated, with a strange emphasis. Eliza sensed something was off, but he spread her legs with both hands and tormented her until she couldn’t think, let alone speak.

She was almost ready to explode, begging him in a voice she didn’t even recognize, when Hugh finally turned her over. His face dark, he moved above her and thrust home with such force her body spasmed and she gave a little cry of release. He curled one arm behind her head, his muscle as hard as iron, and began moving, driving hard and deep. Eliza thought she would faint—she couldn’t breathe, she couldn’t see anything but him, and he was riding her so furiously she had to curl her legs around his hips. He growled at that, kissing her until she saw stars, and finished with a shout, his head thrown back.

“My wife,” he rasped. “Forever.”

Eliza spread her hands on his bare chest, heaving and damp with sweat. Her heart was so full of love it ached. She pressed her lips to his skin. “And you’re mine, forever,” she whispered tenderly.
