Taken by the Earl

Chapter 1

‘Please Marc let go of me, you’re hurting my wrist,’ Claudia gasped out as she saw the furious expression on Marc’s face.

‘How could you Claudia? Do you know how angry I felt when I heard your happy announcement?’ Marc spoke sarcastically. ‘You’re lucky I didn’t deck Oliver then and there, before carrying you out of that hall over my shoulders away till you saw sense.’

‘You wouldn’t have dared, not in front of everyone?!’ Claudia stepped back as she spoke to find that she was practically pinned against the Earl and a large tree behind her.

‘Oh wouldn’t I, just try me again with the absurd stunt you tried to pull today.’

Claudia shivered sensing that the Earl of Lakeworth was indeed capable of anything if he was pushed too far!

‘What have I done that is so absurd, Oliver and I merely announced our engagement,’ Claudia spoke weakly. She regretted her words as soon as she had said them, as she noted that Marc seemed to become even more aggravated than before.

She now knew she had been unrealistic in her hope of Marc calming down after she had noted him storming out of the hall when Oliver cheerfully gave everyone the news they were to be wed later in the month.

I told you that day when we first lay together, when you gave yourself both freely and willing to me......and you cried out my name again and again with pleasure,’ Marc spoke in a rich deep voice as he moved even closely to her, trapping against the tree as he trailed two fingers down her face to her lips slowly, ‘I told you that you were mine, that I would never let you go, did you think it was an idle promise?’

Claudia tried to keep herself from becoming excited as she looked up into his handsome, chiselled face, which included a pair of darkened brown eyes and sensual lips. She tried to stop all the mental images he had conjured up in her mind of them making passionate love together, of their sweaty naked bodies moving against the other with urgency, but no matter how much she tried she just could not stop the feeling of warmth and heat that had started to build in her lower body region.

‘You’re wrong Marc I don’t belong to you, I never have! Please Marc I am asking you to forget all that has previously happened between us, forget about me, find yourself someone more suitable for you than I...just like I have,’ she tried to reason with him.

‘You're more suited to my bastard half-brother......I think
