CHAPTER NINE

ELSBETH’S HEART STOPPED beating at the impact of Amadeo’s lazily delivered words.

Eyes hooded, he lowered his face closer to hers and her heart kick-started back to life, the beats so loud and fast they were nothing but a deafening burr.

‘Will you let me see you the way I let you see me?’ he whispered before dipping his face lower still so the tip of his nose brushed against her cheek and his warm breath melted into her skin. Her nightdress was now bunched at the top of her hips.

She was helpless to stop the quiver that rippled through the whole of her body, and groped desperately for coherent thought.

The palm of his hand slipped under the ruched silk and flattened against her back. Slowly he eased them both upright until Elsbeth sat facing him, trembling, the whooshing in her head a hot roar.

Fingers dragged through her hair, hooded green eyes seeming to drink her in. He leaned in closer. Her breath caught in her throat and her eyes closed as his lips pressed against hers, as fleeting as the touch of a feather, his hands slowly moving down from the back of her head to her shoulders and down her sides to where her nightdress was gathered.

Pulling his face back, his eyes locked back onto hers and then, bit by bit, her nightdress was pushed over her belly and breasts. She lifted her arms. Silk fleetingly caressed her neck and face and then, for the first time in her life, Elsbeth was naked in front of a man, shaking, her heart beating so hard he must be able to see its ripples through her chest.

A finger gently lifted her chin.

She’d never been so scared of what she would find in Amadeo’s gaze, terrified too of what she was feeling, how deeply her desire for him ran, trapped in every cell in every part of her body.

She forced herself to look at him. The dim glow of the bedside light cast his face in the shadows and plains that turned his features from mere drop-dead handsome to heart-breaking, and Elsbeth fought even harder to keep the essence of herself intact and not fall into the heady promise of the lie in his eyes, however desperately she wanted to believe the hunger she was reading in them was for her.

This was what her mother had warned her about, the day when a man’s ardour was stronger than normal.

When it was over, she would still sleep alone.

He palmed the flat of her back again and, with the same care as when he’d pulled her upright, lowered her back down so her head rested on her pillow. Then, with infinite care, he laid himself between her legs, elbows resting either side of her head, cocooning her with his body and the sheets he’d pulled up to his shoulders.

It was the romantic scene she’d longed for on her wedding night.

The weight of his erection brushed against the top of her thigh. The tips of her sensitised breasts brushed against his chest.
