Gideon could see his comment had caused Lydia confusion and some hurt. But the sexual tension between the two of them was such that he knew he had to defuse the situation, or he would once again take Lydia in his arms and kiss her. This time, he had no idea whether he would be able to stop himself from taking it further.

The aching throb of his engorged cock and the tight drawing up of his balls beneath warned that he wouldn’t.

“Do you have another color you would prefer?” he continued determinedly. “Green, perhaps?” He could picture curtains the same moss-green color as her eyes. “Or possibly peach.” He glanced at the gown which so complemented the rich color of her hair and pale complexion.

Then he wished he hadn’t, as his gaze was immediately drawn to and then captured by the creamy swell of her breasts visible above the round neckline of that gown. Soft and tempting breasts that a week ago he had caressed and fondled while he suckled on her pale pink nipples until they became as fat and red as strawberries.

Dear God, so much for his wish to defuse the situation!

And his hope that his maturity and control might keep Lydia at bay.

It seemed he only had to be near Lydia again to be so completely physically aware of her the mere sight of the plump tops of her breasts was enough to render him hard and wanting.

Even swallowing the saliva now flooding his mouth sounded loud in the otherwise stillness and quiet of the room. “I should go.”

“Why should you?”

He winced. “Because if I do not, then I am going to commit an even bigger folly than the one I did a week ago.”

“You consider kissing me to have been a folly?” Her cheeks were suffused with color.

The glitter in her eyes told Gideon that reaction was caused by temper, not embarrassment. “I did not mean to insult you—”

“Didn’t you?” she challenged.

He released a heavy sigh. “This…physical awareness between the two of us is the last thing I expected.”

“At least you acknowledge that is what it is.”

His jaw tightened. “Doing so does not change the fact I do not know how best to deal with it, other than trying to ignore it.”

“Has that been successful for you this past week?” she drawled.

“Not in the least,” Gideon admitted before turning away. “And because of that, the very last thing I should have done was come to your bedchamber this evening and then remained here alone with you after your companion has gone to her bed.”

Up to now, Gideon had been doing his best to ignore the presence of the bed in the room, but now simply mentioning that piece of furniture, even though it was in connection with Lydia’s companion, was enough to draw his attention to the comfort of the large four-poster. The pink drapes at its corners and matching bedcover would have to go too, but for the moment, all Gideon was aware of was the temptation that bed represented to his rapidly slipping self-control.
