Chapter Eight
Rage stared at Lucinda for what felt like an eternity before either of them spoke. He had spent a night dreaming of her and a day fantasizing about her, but now that she stood before him, all he could do was memorize each line of her face and wonder at the fact that she had given herself to him so freely and so sweetly.
“Ronan,” she finally whispered and her hand stirred at her side like she wanted to touch his cheek, but forced herself not to do so. “I-I thought you were out with Nicholas for the day.”
He nodded. “We were meant to be, but I managed to convince Stone that he should enjoy having his wife back at home.”
Lucinda smiled, and though it was a smaller version of the bright expression that always so moved him, his heart still stuttered at it.
“Did it take so much convincing?” she asked.
He shook his head. “No. When it comes to Jane, Stone needs little convincing of anything. I suppose I never understood that until…”
He stopped. No, he could not compare the desire he felt toward Lucinda to the deep love that Jane and Stone felt. It wasn’t fair, not to them and not to himself.
“Well, I wanted to see you,” he said instead. “I needed to see you and be certain that what happened between us last night was real.”
Lucinda gasped and took a step toward him. “That is exactly how I felt all day. There were times when I wondered if I had only dreamed what happened in the garden.”
Once the words left her lips, she immediately blushed and turned her face.
He reached out and cupped her chin, lifting until she had to look at him.
“It was no dream,” he reassured her as he drew her closer. “And I have longed to repeat it today, only this time in a bed where I can take my time and pleasure you as you deserve to be pleasured.”
Her lips parted and a tiny sound escaped them, a combination of a sigh and a groan. Then she reached up, cupped his cheeks and kissed him. Her ardor surprised him for the briefest of moments, but then he surrendered to it, slanting his mouth over hers and drinking in her flavor like a man who had been deprived sustenance for days. It was as good an analogy as any, for he felt starved for her, hungry and out of control.
If she sensed that animal nature in him, though, she didn’t seem to mind. She returned his kiss with equal passion, intense desperation that gave him a sense of primal male pride. He had done this to her. He had made her needy and weak. And he could pleasure her until she wept and begged and shattered with relief and release.
He spun her around until he pressed her back to the door and broke the kiss. He stared deeply into her eyes as he ground against her, letting her feel the hard ridge of his erection, tormenting himself even as she gurgled out an incoherent sound of needy desire.
