Chapter Eight

The voices faded away until they were no more than a distant hum punctured by the occasional screech of laughter. Marianne lay still, hardly daring to breathe and hoping the extra ale he had consumed might make him sleep. When he stirred and turned towards her, she knew that was not to be the case.

“Marianne,” he said quietly, his hand going to the covers she held up to her chin.

When he tried to ease them away, she tightened her grip until her knuckles turned white.

“I have no wish to fight you Marianne, but our marriage is not legally binding until we have mated.”

She shot out of bed, standing to face him. “Then we will say that we have consummated the marriage, who will ever know?”

He moved to sit on the edge of the bed. “It will be known, Marianne. And I will not lie.”

“Please,” she said hoarsely, afraid she would cry.

“I do not understand, most women find me attractive in some way. I have experience in pleasing women, and it is not as though you are a maid. You have had a husband before...” He looked at her suspiciously then. “Did you persuade your first husband not to consummate your marriage?”

Marianne knew she had to protest, if that rumour got out she would not legally be Lady Marsh, and the King could strip her of everything.

“No. We...he...that is why I have no wish to lie with you.”

“I still do not understand.” He rose and came to her, placing his hand on her shoulder. “I will not hurt you.”

His hand began to move, stroking her as though she were a small frightened animal. If she had not been so tense she might have felt something stir inside her, but all she felt was fear.

“Please,” she whispered.

He lowered his head and his lips met hers, so soft so gentle, searching for a way into her locked body. His tongue brushed her lips, pressing to be allowed in, and unconsciously she yielded to him, giving him access to her. Slowly his touch eased her fear, her body responded, a warmth filling it until the ache between her thighs grew to a dull throbbing need.

“There, was that so bad?” he asked, when he broke the kiss.

She shook her head, but could not meet his eyes. Once again, she felt like a child, unable to explain these new feelings, and not knowing what she was supposed to do. His hand slid from her arms and traced the swell of her breast, briefly touching the stiff little peak that suddenly became the centre of her world.

His thumb moved back across it, and she swayed at the feelings that invaded her body. The old Lord had never touched her like this. Was this the way a man was supposed to touch a woman? He lowered his head and his mouth covered her nipple, his teeth grazing it making her cry out in shock.

“You see, Marianne, I can teach you so much pleasure. Lie with me, let me awaken you.
