His new bride had actually eaten very little of the sumptuous repast he’d ordered,

and he sensed that her nervousness mixed with anticipation was the problem. The air in

their lovely hotel room fairly radiated with it.

He hadn’t exactly eaten his normal share either, guilty of allowing his own

eagerness for what was to come to outweigh his usually healthy appetite. In fact, just

watching her daintily chew and swallow her food had given him a throbbing erection.

She was still technically a virgin, he reminded himself as he folded his napkin and

set it aside. But, she was also initiated, a treacherous voice in his head whispered.

Catherine had undoubtedly taken the most pleasurable liberties with her young body.

And the thought of that—of Catherine’s undeniably talented tongue plunging

between the soft, weeping folds of his new wife’s warm sex, made him stand up abruptly.

“Are you finished?”

“Yes,” her reply was hushed, her eyes lowered.

But she trembled when she stood.

Looking into the blue depths of her eyes, he asked softly, “Are you afraid?”

“Catherine said it would hurt.”

“Ah--well, so it does, I’m told, but for only a moment, just as I take your

maidenhead. It’s over quickly.”

Her cold fingers tightened against his as he took her hand. “It’s light outside,”

she protested, “not even noon.”

Amused, he led her toward the bed, knowing that the strict orders he’d given that

they shouldn’t be disturbed would be followed. “People consummate their passions at all

hours, Serena. The curtains are drawn, no one will see us.”

“They do?”

He loved the slightly breathless quality of curiosity in her tone, the hint of

underlying excitement. Instead of protecting his pretty daughter from the temptations of

the world by locking her away most of her life, Rayne contemplated, the duke had made

them such a mystery that she was intensely interested. “Yes, they do. Shall I help you

undress?”

“I--” a falter caught at her voice, “yes, I suppose. We have to do this, don’t we?”

“Oh yes,” he told her softly, “we most certainly do.”

Her dress was overtly modest and the truth was, he was dying to see what lay

beneath those layers of concealing cloth. With swift fingers he undid the fastenings of

her gown, lowering it from her shoulders, hooking his fingers in her chemise and taking it

with his anxious hands. Just as insistent with the rest of her clothing, he ignored the

furious color in her cheeks and stripped it away, leaving her nude before him. “Your

hair,” he murmured, realizing his voice sounded husky and thick. He freed the thick

mass, letting it cascade across her creamy shoulders.

She was perfection; young, firm, full and soft, all veiled by a curtain of amber

waist-length curls.

His erection—already at full mast, lengthened, strained against his breeches.

Lifting his bride in his arms, he carried her to the bed, nestling her body against the ivory

sheets, savoring the sight of a naked woman and satin superimposed. Slowly removing

his jacket, he watched her as she lay there, her gaze following his every movement.

Unbuttoning his shirt, he shrugged it from his shoulders and reached for the fastenings on

his pants.

Her gaze, so very blue, widened in alarm when she saw his swollen shaft spring

loose.
