If sin had a flavor, it would be the taste of his mouth. Slow, sensual strokes of his lips, the gliding of his tongue against hers.

She should stop him, came a distant thought. She wasn’t this woman.

But her body wouldn’t let her. Her skin flushed, burning under his touch. Her very bones melted from the feeling of his lips on hers. The kiss lasted so long her head began to spin. Her breasts ached, and her nipples hardened. She laid her hands on his hard, muscular shoulders, the warmth of his body making her hotter than that fire behind him.

He smelled of manly musk and woodsmoke, of sandalwood and vanilla. She could taste the port on his tongue, and his own delicious taste that she couldn’t get enough of.

Soon, she couldn’t breathe, and when he pulled back, his own chest rose and fell quickly. His eyes were dark and glistened with hunger…with longing…for her. The thought made the floor slip from under her feet.

“Emma,” he said, his voice a low rumble. “Tell me to stop, and I will. But I want very much to show you what it would be like to be with a man that puts you first. Puts your pleasure first.”

She swallowed hard. A man who put her pleasure first… That was a novel idea. Sir Jasper never did anything that felt good. His kisses felt like he wanted to perform a medical examination in her mouth with his tongue. And when he was inside her, it hurt more than anything else, and all she could think about was how long it would take until he finished and she could be free.

But with Sebastian…she wanted more. She never wanted that kiss to finish. Her pleasure…she never thought intercourse could be pleasant. Except, the very touch of his fingertips against her skin brought a jolt of sweetness through her. And when he’d washed her with the sponge that first night, his touch was so sensual, she’d felt like leaning her head back against the bathtub, closing her eyes, and moaning.

So she had two choices.

She could keep putting everyone else before her as she’d done when she’d married Sir Jasper. Sir Jasper, who’d trapped her in a fraudulent marriage. Sir Jasper, who slept with other women every chance he got and did not even deny it. Sir Jasper, who’d sold her to a strange man to punish her and teach her a lesson, to control her.

Or, for once in her life, she could be selfish and allow herself one night that would be all about her. She could reclaim the power she had allowed Sir Jasper to take from her. For one night, she could pretend that she could love and be loved and that there was no one to control, manipulate, or punish her.

Sebastian was giving her that choice.

And then she knew what she had to do. She wouldn’t have any regrets. Because even though Sir Jasper was her husband on paper, he wasn’t in any other sense.
