Colin hadn’t meant to react so out of character. Rarely was he the man saving damsels from distress, but in this instance, all he had seen was her face. A look of pure horror had crossed her features when Everett had made his advances, and then an expression of disgust. He would kill the man for touching her.

And then, in a moment of clarity, it had occurred to him. Perhaps she’d welcomed Everett’s advances. The nausea that had washed over him had been so strong, he’d had to pull away, had to say those awful things, or else he’d been afraid he would crumple at her feet.

And now, now that her hands were on the lapels of his jacket, urging him forward, he lost track of all time. Her lips were moving, most likely forming words, but he heard nothing. All he could do was watch as her breath hitched, and then her lips, those delicious lips that he’d dreamt of claiming so many times before, lay across his.

Her kiss was cautious. He hadn’t expected that, not from the woman who was not but minutes ago being seduced or perhaps seducing another man. Warmth spread through him, forcing him to throw caution to the wind as he wrapped his arms around her petite frame and pulled her to himself. His mouth opened to hers, and he very happily allowed himself to become lost once again in Gemma’s arms.

“What the devil!” a muffled voice said from a distance.

Colin couldn’t have cared less. He tugged on Gemma’s lower lip. Blazes, how she was sweet.

“Get off my sister!” A strong hand pulled Colin back from Gemma.

But he did not look to see to whom that hand belonged. No, all he wanted to see was the look of desire on Gemma’s face. Her eyes gave her away, she was just as affected as he, and suddenly he was transported back to an easier time. A more innocent time, where they had been able to kiss, to touch, to dream of a time when they could be together.

“After everything I have done to keep the two of you apart, you still fight me?” The marquess laughed and stood in front of Colin, blocking his view of Gemma. “Do you realize what could have happened? Ruined! You could have completely ruined her!”

Colin’s body turned cold. “Is that not what you had planned for this evening? To find your sister in the arms of a willing man in order to arrange her marriage to a man of your choosing?”

“Well, I—” Van Burge cleared his throat. “This does not concern you, Sir Wilde. Run along.”

“In truth, this concerns me a great deal. You caught your virgin sister in my embrace. That means—” Colin stated, rather boldly, considering the circumstances.

“It means if you have any sense left, you will not speak of this to anyone… ever.” He straightened his jacket and turned to Gemma.

Colin should have warned the man.

But then again, if she hadn’t thrown the first punch, Colin would have had to.
