Chapter 11

The library door closed with a soft thud behind Tobias as Jane stood frozen in place. God in heaven. What had possessed her to act as though they were in La Maison des Plaisirs Sombres? She’d clearly shocked Tobias with her behavior. On the heels of that observation was the realization she’d excited him as well.

Jane closed her eyes as she remembered how she’d placed the door key between her breasts, and the manner in which Tobias had retrieved it. A hot wind streaked across her skin at the memory. She had sought to be the dominant one by ordering him to kiss her, but she was no longer convinced she’d succeeded in her attempt. Tobias’ touch had burned its way deep into her soul to a place she never thought any man could ever reach again.

The moment he’d plucked the library key from between her breasts, Jane had fully expected him to make a hasty retreat. Instead, his desire had engulfed her like a fire raging out of control. Wild and passionate, Tobias’ kisses had been unlike any caress she’d ever experienced with Barnaby. With each persuasive touch of Tobias’ lips and hands, she’d lost her ability to think straight. Her complete lack of clear-headedness could have been no more evident than when she’d caressed him so brazenly. As Lady Mystère she’d brought him to climax with her hand, but this had been different. Tonight, it had been the respectable Lady Jane Grisham who’d stroked him with such shocking self-assurance that he’d gone rigid with shock.

There was no reason why Tobias should have expected his future wife to be experienced, and when she’d taken him in hand, his surprise had been immediate. Her hand tingled as she remembered the heavy, velvety-smooth feel of holding Tobias in her palm. He’d eagerly rocked his body against her hand, and she knew her touch had pleased him.

But her exhilaration at his reaction to her caress had been a short-lived sensation the moment he’d turned away from her. His rejection hadn’t surprised her. But never in her lifetime had Jane ever expected him to overlook her past. A past her father still took the time and patience to remind her of on a regular basis. Tobias had done more than forgive her transgressions. He’d forgiven her sins without even knowing what they were.

Jane slowly crossed the floor to sink down into one of the large, reading chairs situated in front of the library’s fireplace. A small blaze burned in the hearth, but its heat could not compare to the fire Tobias had aroused in her tonight. Not once, but twice, his kiss had pulled her toward a vortex of sensation that emphasized how little self-control she possessed where he was concerned. With each incendiary kiss, his touch had stirred to life emotions she’d thought long dead. Emotions layered beneath the old wounds of her scarred heart.

Despite the passage of time, they still had the power to hurt. Images of the past flashed through her mind.
