Here she was, all flushed and breathless and ready for him, even asking him for it. Dante groaned as his need for her, still unsatisfied, knotted into a ball and almost doubled him over. He fought himself not to lunge at her. She was inexperienced, probably more afraid of the act than she was of escaping in the dead of night on a rope. He thought of Edgar Dermott touching her and anger coiled his muscles, curling his fingers into fists. Was it he who made her afraid of what should have been wonderful? He was certain the release he brought her with his mouth was the first time she had ever experienced such pleasure.

“I’m going to teach you how to enjoy a man’s body first.” Dante’s silky promise made her belly spasm. “My body. Stand up.”

Gianelle obeyed, but squeezed her eyes shut when he began to lift her soaking gown over her head. “Do you want me to close my eyes too?” he asked her, careful to keep the sudden rush of emotion he felt for her out of his voice. She nodded her head and he smiled, feeling as if his heart were melting all over his ribs.

“Put this on. It’s dry.”

Gianelle opened her eyes and took the tunic he offered her. “Thank you for closing your eyes, Dante.” Her voice was a sweet melody to his ears, calming his otherwise roiling emotions. She was this appreciative for such a tiny thing. Imagine if he gave her everything he had?

“Done.”

Merde! She couldn’t have looked more tempting if she were completely naked. His tunic hung past her knees, the sleeves dangled over the tips of her fingers and she yanked them up, looking away from the heat in his gaze. Knowing she was naked beneath that thin muslin made him want to drag the hem over her thighs and impale her to the settee. He clenched his jaw to quench the fire she sparked in him. He had to go slowly, control his desire. He wanted to show her that sex was something she could grow to love. And he couldn’t show her if he leapt on her and cleaved her in half. And if the excruciating, straining ache beneath his trousers was any indication, cleave her in half he would.

When he slowed his pulse back to some semblance of normalcy, he touched her. He reclined on the settee first, bringing her with him to rest atop his body. He wanted her this way to help her feel like she was in more control. He circled her waist with one arm and tucked her honeyed hair behind her ear with his free hand.
