Chapter 13

The moment Simon’s lips met hers, Lillian realized that this encounter wouldn’t stop until they had made love. But despite her innocence, despite her refusal of his offer the day before, despite all her duties when she came to this estate, she didn’t feel afraid. And she didn’t feel wrong.

No, the only emotion that roared through her as their mouths collided and tongues danced, was excitement. This was her choice and there was no doubt it had been made. There would be no going back.She drank in every moment, memorizing the assault on her senses. He tasted of whiskey and sweet cigar smoke. But beneath it all was a sharp current of male desire. She smelled the same indefinable aspect on his skin, a heated, musky scent that called to her body and made a strange wetness rush between her legs.

His breathing echoed in her ears between kisses, a panting drive of air that merged with her own as the only sound in the otherwise quiet room. But that shared breath was as beautiful as a symphony to her, inspiring feelings she wouldn’t have been able to define even if someone offered her all the gold in the world to do so.

When his arms came around her to drag her against him, she felt the full power of his superior strength, as well as the insistent evidence of his desire. She shivered with the realization that she had done that to him. She had made his body hard and ready and edgy with need.

With a groan, he pushed her backward across the spacious chamber, devouring her lips all the way, until her backside touched the edge of the billiard table. Then he leaned into her, nudging a leg to tangle with her dress between her thighs. She found herself grinding down against him in some ancient give-and-take of pleasure. She reveled in the friction that wanton action created. It was something so focused and powerful, so wicked and yet so right.

The chamber seemed to get hotter, closer, as their lips and tongues merged. And Simon seemed to be getting closer, too, his body curling around her as they arched backward in tandem. Finally she was flat on her back against the top of the billiard table, with his hard body covering hers.

There had never been anything like this pleasure. She was on fire, her breasts tingled and ached most deliciously, her legs trembled as she crooked one knee around his calf, her sheath clenched in a rhythm she had never experienced before.

After what seemed like a sweet eternity, his hands moved. He flattened one palm to her collarbone, hesitating as her chest rose and fell on each fluttering breath. Then he stared down at her with an unflinching gaze. His green eyes were so intense at this short distance that she almost wanted to look away, but she couldn’t, not even when his fingers slid down, dancing to rest between her breasts.

“Simon,” she groaned, feeling she should be shocked by this intimacy, and yet not so.
