She was so soft. Full of goodness! So inviting.

Innocently enchanting! Something promising existed between the two of them and he was going to have to walk away.

Reed hesitated, torn within.

She fit his hand perfectly, little more than a handful. She arched her back, molding herself against him. “Reed.” His name on her lips, followed by a moan, lit a fire in him.

“Goldie,” he breathed, trailing his mouth over her chin, down her neck, and to her chest. Like a drowning man, he inhaled her essence. Clean, warm, vanilla-scented woman.

Saying goodbye was all wrong. If he’d met her under different circumstances—if he wasn’t on the precipice of utter ruin… She could have been his.

He would have courted her properly. He would have given her everything she deserved.

Instead, he would give her this. Or was he fooling himself? Was he taking it for himself?

This kiss.

“You’re beautiful, Goldie. Never doubt that.” He leaned forward, and laved his tongue over the sensitive flesh before capturing it—sucking her in and smiling when she exhaled a fluttery sigh.

Pleasuring this innocent young lady was wrong, but it was also right. It was as though the two of them had been discussing this dance since the beginning. Neither could walk away until they’d finished it.

Her fingers threaded through his hair as she melted beneath his touch.

“Reed.”

He pulled her legs across his lap and slid his hand under her gown. Yesterday she’d worn practical half-boots. When she’d climbed into the hackney, he’d gotten a glimpse of woolen stockings.

Today her slippers were delicate and her stockings made of silk. He stroked his fingertips up and down the length of one calf.

“You don’t know how many times I…” She trembled. Was she embarrassed?

“You thought of this?” Reed finished for her.

She nodded into his neck. “Last summer… I grew rather fond of you.”

Reed’s breath caught. Was she going to change her mind?

But she was right. She would lose everything. It wouldn’t be fair to make her give it all up. “What do you want, Goldie?” he asked instead.

“This. I just want this.”

He walked his fingers higher on her leg.

“This?”

She nodded again.

“Look at me, sweetheart.” This had nothing to do with him marrying her. This was pure, unadulterated attraction.

He would not seduce her into changing her mind. Reed clenched his jaw.

“Yes,” she said. Her legs parted in a timeless invitation.

“When you find this husband you’re going to land.” Reed stroked the silk of her stockings. “Be sure he makes you feel special.”

She stared at him silently, her mouth parted as though she had something to say.

But nothing came out.

Reed inched up to where her stockings ended and delicate skin, softer than any silk ever made, beckoned him to keep exploring.

Goldie kept her gaze locked with his. “Yes,” she said. And then… “How?”

“Let yourself feel,” he said. Reed nudged her thighs wider. Finding delicate curls, he slid his fingers along her folds. He didn’t need to ask if she liked this; pleasure flushed her face and her eyes glowed. She licked her lips, her breath hitched, and his fingers were soaked with her arousal.
