Evan felt her oncoming climax and fought his own. His heart pounded so hard and fast he worried it might explode. Still, he couldn’t stop what was happening. He couldn’t resist or deny her. Whatever this lady wanted, she would get from him—even if that meant taking his life. He avoided her for two weeks, two long, agonizing weeks where he could think of little else. This moment should have come as no surprise, not when he felt so connected, so close. Instinct told him she felt him just as deeply, but experience had taught him not to believe such wayward emotions. It was easy to mistake the connection he felt with others as reciprocated when it was not. To her, he was still a stranger.

Josselyn tensed, her mouth widening in a silent scream, as her release ripped through her body. She was so beautiful, so delicate and soft, that merely looking at her left his limbs tingling and numb.

Evan continued to move, helpless against the waves of passion. This was it—the moment of truth, the moment when he could find death in her arms. Suddenly, he too stiffened, frozen above her as his body released into her. A painful surge gripped his chest and he held his breath, waiting for the end even as the pleasure of it washed over him.

Death never came and he was left in the aftermath of pleasure. Relieved and feeling a little silly now the scare was over, he dropped forward, trapping her beneath his larger size. He nuzzled her throat briefly before rolling onto his side. Cradling her to him, he gentle brushed back her hair.

“What does this protection mean?” Evan asked, wondering exactly what it was she asked of him.

Josselyn maneuvered her head onto the crook of his arm, studying his face. Lightly running the tip of her finger over the slope of his nose, she said, “We share a bed, the tasks of daily life. I help you however you need, whether it is physical release or simply to talk. I will keep your house and traditionally manage any servants, though you don’t have any. You will protect me from other men, help me to understand this new time.” Her fingers skated along his jaw, tracing the folds of his muscles until her hand rested above his skittering heart. Her tone lowered and a wave of seriousness washed over him. “And you help me find Jack. If he’s still alive, I will confront him and find a way to extract my vengeance. After, I will give you half of any fortune that has not already been plundered from my home. I’m assuming jewels are still a viable currency.”

“Revenge is a hard way to live.” Evan covered her hand with his.

“You, better than anyone, should understand I cannot just let it go. He took everything from me. If he is still alive, he should not be allowed to live a moment longer.”

And there it was. Her reason. She didn’t choose him because she wanted him and only him.
