Nicholas gave her a rueful smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. By the saints, he’d gladly let the lass win every game if only she were there to play him each night.

It wasn’t fair, of course. Desirée had come into his household out of desperation, not choice. Given the choice, she’d certainly never have picked a lawman for company.

Besides, she had a promising future ahead of her. She was young and beautiful, charming and witty. What bachelor of honorable means wouldn’t pursue her like a hound after a vixen?

Nay, she would leave him. Maybe not this week, if he were lucky, but soon. Still, she was right. There was no point in sobbing in his ale. He might as well enjoy her company while she was here.

It was pleasant company indeed.

The saucy maid raised an enticing brow and dipped a spoon into the custard. She lifted it to his lips, and he took a bite, closing his eyes to savor the taste.

“Mmm.”

It was rich and sweet, as smooth as velvet. He opened his eyes to tell her so, but the words caught in his throat. Desirée was staring at his mouth, and there was unmistakable hunger in her eyes. He lowered his gaze to her lips, which were parted in a smile, and for a wicked moment, he wondered if they tasted as sweet as the custard.

Before he could do something he might regret, he took the spoon from her and scooped out a generous portion of custard to share with her, slipping it between her lips.

It was too large a bite, and she laughed as it oozed out between her teeth. But the taste made her moan softly with pleasure, and that sound, as innocent as it was, sent a rush of desire into his loins.

With a scheming grin, she grabbed the spoon and dished out an enormous bite. He shook his head, but she advanced anyway. “Open wide,” she teased.

Unable to resist her wicked challenge, he complied, and she shoved the overloaded spoon into his mouth. Custard seeped out the sides of his mouth and dribbled down his chin.

She laughed and leaned toward him to scoop the spill from his chin with her finger. Then she popped her finger in her mouth, sucking off the custard.

He nearly groaned aloud. Did the naughty lass know what she was doing? Or was he so starved for a woman’s attentions that he’d melt at the slightest provocation? He swallowed down the custard, licking a bit of honey from the corner of his mouth.

She must have glimpsed the lust in his gaze, for she suddenly froze with her fingertip still at her lips.

They were so close, inches apart. He could see the candlelight dancing in her green eyes, smell the subtle fragrance of the rain on her hair, feel her soft breath. He need only ease forward a little to capture her lips with his own.

It was such a temptation. Her mouth would be yielding, he knew, and she would taste of honey.
