Alethea looked around the massive bedchamber Hartley had escorted her to and tried not to feel too intimidated by the signs of wealth and prestige surrounding her. She smoothed her hands down the thin linen and lace nightdress she wore and wondered where Hartley was. They had had a rushed marriage and a fine dinner with Iago, Aldus, and Gifford. Kate had been thrilled for her and busied herself packing all of Alethea’s things to be brought to Hartley’s townhouse. And here she now stood, ready for her wedding night, and no husband. It brought back some painful memories of her first wedding.

Hartley stepped into the room, and his body immediately hardened with need at the sight of his new wife wearing a very thin, lacy nightdress. She stirred his blood as no woman ever had before. He could already feel his body crying out with the need to be inside her.

He stepped up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, grinning at the way she leapt like a scalded cat. The more nervous she became, the more at ease he grew. From the moment he had put his mother’s ring on Alethea’s finger, he had become calm, almost peaceful in his heart and soul.

Within moments she found herself naked and sprawled beneath an equally naked Hartley. A little more of her fear was chipped away at this sign of his desire for her. There was the seed for the love she needed from him. Alethea made herself a promise that she would learn all there was to learn about what pleased him in the bedchamber, and learn it so well that he forgot every other woman he had ever known.

Hartley was so hungry for her that he had to fight for enough control just to stop himself from ravishing her like some untried boy. The only thing that soothed his unease about the strength of his need for her was the certainty that she felt the same for him. He kissed and caressed her, his desire stirred to new heights by the way she tried to return each touch, each kiss, in equal measure. The soft noises she made as her passion soared were sweet music to his ears.

“I do not have the patience to do all I wanted to do on our wedding night,” he muttered even as he began to join their bodies.

“We will have many more nights,” she
