Chapter Thirteen

Miles smiled as he pulled slightly away. “I knew properly kissing you would be worth every ounce of retribution you might heap upon my head,” he murmured and framed her face with his hands. Thank goodness he’d removed his gloves before gaining the library. Defying convention was worth the ability to touch her bare skin. He wiped away the remaining streaks of tears on her cheeks. Her lips were every bit as soft and plush as he’d thought, and though the tears discomfited him, he wished to banish them and cajole her into a better mood.

“The only vengeance I’ll give is taking another,” she answered in a voice as breathless as his while standing on tiptoe to indeed claim his lips as she’d warned. Just as she’d done in the British Museum, she kissed him with abandon, but this time was different. This time wasn’t fleeting and neither was it in parting. When she ended the embrace, her breathing had elevated, but her smile was as bright and cheeky as ever. “You, Miles, are highly kissable. No wonder the marchioness is angling for your attention.” That throaty, velvety voice reached out and grabbed him.

“Georgiana can go hang for all I care.” His pulse pounded loud in his ears and his cock sprang to life with a renewed sense of purpose. How was it in less than a handful of days he’d managed to let her captivate him so perfectly? “I much prefer the adventure you represent.” He crushed his lips to hers and spent the next few minutes acquainting himself with every inch of her mouth. When he probed the seam of her lips, she opened for him and he took full advantage, slipping his tongue inside and fencing with hers. A hint of the wine she’d had with dinner urged him onward.

Emmaline moaned. She pressed herself closer to him, never breaking their connection. He slid his hands to her back and moved them down until he cupped the rounded curve of her buttocks. She faltered. “Please don’t stop.” Her voice sounded so small and vulnerable, his chest squeezed.

“As if I could,” he murmured and lifted her into his arms. I’ve gone mad. There was no other way to explain what had happened to him; he didn’t give a jot to the fact their privacy here could be interrupted at any moment either. Three steps took him to a table that ran flush against the back of a sofa. He deposited her on it, regardless of the few trinkets that crashed to the floor, then drank from her lips again and again. She met each kiss, mimicked every thrust and parry of his tongue, mirrored each nip and nibble until his heartbeat raced and his breathing shallowed.

And it wasn’t enough. This woman who’d beguiled him and tempted him since the night he found her in his library continued to tease him, and now his day of reckoning had come. He wanted her, plain and simple, and here she was, more than willing.
