CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Marialena
I wonder if my inexperience will show.
I wonder if he likes that.
I wonder why I care, but I do.
Iâve fully prepared myself to close my eyes and think of England, to endure my duty by distracting myself. I can never love a man like Salvatore. I wonder, at times, if I could ever love any man after what Iâve seen and how Iâve been raised. Iâd have been content to be single for the rest of my life rather than try to be someone Iâm not.
But here I am, prepared to undress him, because I canât seem to keep my mouth shut and I apparently donât know whatâs good for me.
My hands shake as I reach for his suit coat. That has to come off first, Iâm thinking. I lift one sleeve, give it a tug, and he helps me by shrugging so the jacket falls into my hands. The sheer weight of it surprises me, but I guess it makes sense. Layers and layers of fabric, and heâs a big guy.
âArenât you hot under that?â I ask. âI would be stifling.â
âWhy donât you help me take them off, then.â Those blue, blue eyes of his grow molten.
âThatâs a good idea, sir,â I say teasingly, but Iâm only pretending to be brave. Iâm scared as a little church mouse that once I undress him, heâll devour me. Iâm not sure Iâll survive. Itâs what men like him do. Itâs why people like me canât fall for them.
He could wrap me in his arms and there wouldnât be one speck of Marialena left showing, heâs that much bigger than I am. I take a quick moment to admire the bulging breadth of his shoulders, the corded muscle visible even under his shirt, even the little vee of white where his shirt falls open. Somewhere along the line he lost his tie, which is fine by me because I know heâd only use it as one of his many tools anyway, and he doesnât need any more help.
Fingers still trembling, I reach for the buttons on his shirt.
âThese look a bit easier than those ridiculous ones you had to work with,â I mutter.
He only gives me a casual shrug. Iâm stalling for time, of course, and trying to hide the way my hands shake when I get closer to seeing him unclothed.
One button. Two. Three. By the fourth, the shirtâs looser, and I can see the tan skin above the white cotton T-shirt. On impulse, I lean in and brush my lips across the very top of the tee, where his naked skin shines like bronzed metal. If he has any reaction, he schools it well.
I return to unfastening the buttons. The fifth button, then the sixth come undone. The rest of his shirt is tucked into his pants. Now this is where things ought to get interesting.
Iâm going to have a little.
I lower myself to my knees in front of him, peering intently at his belt buckle as if thatâs
