"With my knife, of course. You seriously mean you didn't think of that?"

"You have a knife?"

"I have a knife."

"With you now?"

Morgan thought of the pistol she'd left inside, on the chair. "Not here, silly. Back there. With my pistol."

"Only you would bring a knife and a pistol to a romantic assignation." Ethan chuckled softly. He took hold of her hand, pulled them both up onto their knees. "And the woman wonders why I waited f o r her to come to me rather man the other way round. A gentleman caller could get his head blown off."

"You're laughing at me," Morgan said as, bent at the waist and holding hands, they made their way to his open window. "Wasn't it you who said we might encounter some problems tonight, that we should be prepared?"

Ethan slipped inside his room and, his hands now around her waist, lifted her down beside him. "Prepared, yes. Prepared to cancel our plans. I never realized you'd take my words as a warning to arm yourself, imp. Although your determination flatters me. Are you so anxious to be ruined?"

Morgan placed her palms against his bare chest, where his buttons had fallen open, then slid them up and onto his shoulders. "Are you so anxious to ruin me?"

Morgan's smile was small and somewhat sad. "Very pretty. Was that to soothe your conscience, Ethan? I' m not asking for anything more than what we'll have here tonight. What we've been moving toward from the beginning. Please, just give me tonight. Give us both tonight."

He wanted her, wanted her so badly. But she spoke as if this was their ending, not their beginning. He needed all of her, and he needed her forever. Even when he'd tried to tell himself that what he'd felt for her was based on their obvious physical attraction to each other, he'd known there was more. Much more.

Once he'd possessed her, buried himself inside her and taken them both to the heights, could he let her go?

Not as the earl, not as a gentleman, not as someone bound by the strictures of society.. . but as a man. Could the man in him ever let her go? Never.

So he said what had to be said, even if that meant he'd never have her. He didn't know what the words he would say meant, but he knew that she would.
