Reggie’s first kiss had been quick and sloppy, stolen from her then fifteen-year-old self by the village innkeeper’s arrogant son.

The second—and ones to come after—had all been delivered by a cad who’d promised her forever. They had been no less sloppy, only tinged of spirits and syrup from the sweets he’d had a taste for, and she’d despised every minute of it but yearned for the promises he’d made.

She’d waited for the end of each embrace . . . just as she’d waited for the fulfillment of those false promises.

Broderick’s hands at her neck both cradled and commanded, angling her to receive him, opening her to a whole new universe of sensation and feeling. Each stroke of his lips over hers, his tongue against hers, set her core to throbbing.

It had never been like this.

It had always been distasteful and dirty and empty . . . until this.

Until Broderick.

And she wanted the moment to go on. She wanted to explore passion as she’d never before tasted it.

Moaning, Reggie searched her hands down the contours of his broad, powerful shoulders, lower, exploring all as she went, as she’d ached to. She gripped his arms, the tense muscles bulging under her touch, and she reveled in his hunger for her.

Broderick broke the kiss, and she cried out at the loss of that heat, but he was already moving his lips to the corner of hers, caressing the curve of her jaw, over to the sensitive place her lobe met her nape.

“So soft,” he rasped against her, his breath a sough upon her hot skin that sent her pulse hammering . . . And then he found the spot where it beat with desire for him. Broderick lightly nipped and suckled, trapping a groan somewhere in her throat, and the sound of it emerged as a wanton plea.

He pressed himself against her, and even through the fabric of her brown skirts, the heat and length of him throbbed. “Broderick,” she panted, dropping her head back.

His mouth found hers again, and she surrendered to the hungering she’d carried for this man for ten years. She licked the hard seam of his lips, tasting him as he’d done her.

He gasped, and she, gripping his thick, loose golden curls, brought his mouth back to hers.

The wanton she’d been accused of being, and for which she’d been shamed in the past, she now reveled in what it was to feel passion.

Broderick dragged up her skirts, and a cool blast of night air slapped at her, a balm to the fire he’d kindled within her. He caught her leg and dragged it about his waist, deepening the press of him against her core. She moaned, but he swallowed that entreaty, sinking his hands in her hips, his fingers possessive in their hold.

“Reggie,” he gasped, laying her down, stretching her open.

Her head collided with the chamberstick, sending the piece tumbling. It broke in an explosion of noise, glass, and hot wax, shattering the moment and splattering her skirts.
