RADCLIFF GROANED AS he pressed Justine closer to his heated body. Her softness. Her warmth. His cock instantly thickened and pressed against his trousers. He wanted her. And it wasn’t his cock that wanted her. It was him.

Her mouth moved more forcefully against his, and he found himself wanting more. His hands shook as he rubbed her hips with his hands, inching higher and higher. He wanted to explore more than her mouth. He wanted to explore everything that had been borne unto her, and he didn’t care if all of London watched.

He pushed away the evening coat draping her, exposing the velvet softness of her creamy shoulders. His palms rounded her bare shoulders and moved toward her neck. A shiver escaped her.

Cool emeralds grazed his fingers, interrupting the sensual journey he intended to make. Emeralds that had once touched his mother’s own neck. Emeralds that did not deserve Justine. He would buy her a new set of jewels. Jewels that had been untouched or tainted. Much like her.

He blindly undid the clasp, his lips still devouring hers without pause. He felt her stiffen as he slowly removed the heavy jewels.

To his disappointment, her gloved hands abandoned his nape and pushed at his chest, asking him to desist. He released her mouth, without really wanting to, and stared down at his new desire, this dream. He fisted his mother’s emeralds in his right hand, the stone biting into his palm.

She hesitated, her hazel eyes searching his face. “I thought you said they were mine.”

He smiled, knowing full well what she was thinking, and dangled the commodity with the hand he’d freed from her. “They belonged to my mother and they don’t deserve you. I intend to buy you a new necklace. One worthy of you.” With that, he tossed the emerald necklace up and over toward the fountain where it splashed out of sight.

“Bradford!” she exclaimed, losing the softness he was just getting to know. She whirled away and scrambled over to the fountain, frantically peering left and right, searching for wherever the jewels had landed in the bubbling water.

He chuckled and approached. If he didn’t put an end to it, she’d most likely climb right in.

Radcliff grabbed hold of her waist again and spun her back toward him. “Let the damn fountain keep them. Come. I am not done with you.”

Lowering his lips, he slowly slid his tongue down across the soft, graceful curve of her throat, further down toward the exposed upper rounds of her perfect, full breasts. “Take it as the greatest compliment I will ever bestow upon you. I never respected her. She betrayed my father for a moment of pleasure she could not even admit to until long after his death. A moment of pleasure which resulted in the birth of Carlton.”

Her chest rose from a sharp intake of breath. “I…never knew.”

“Now you do.” He swallowed. “Allow me to touch you.” His hands slid across the smooth silk of her gown and up toward those velvetlike voluptuous mounds.
