The kiss had not started out with much promise. It was too full of design to speak to any part of her body other than her brain. She had seen it coming and had braced for it; he was trying to convince her of something, and no matter how pretty his eyes or clever his lips, kissing a woman into compliance ranked barely above beating her into agreement. Mina told herself she favored originality. She was not impressed.

But when he drew away for breath, his eyelashes fluttering against her forehead, she realized that his body was trembling beneath her hands. His broad shoulders, his muscled back, even the tight cheeks of his bum were shaking. She had turned the kiss around on him. Now he stood in her grip.

The thought was like the soft stroke of a finger between her legs. Her breath went from her. I have you. She pulled his head back and kissed him softly, licking the salt from his mouth. If a debt would not compel him to cooperate, seduction would do; she had already resolved on it, and this could be a good test of his mettle. His lips clung to hers and his hand palmed her body, from breast to waist to hip and back again, as though to convince himself she was real.

She pushed at one of his shoulders, nudging him around. It was possible that he didn’t realize her intention; he did not resist her, and after another push, his back was against the wall. The mighty lord of the manor submitted to her as eagerly as a puppy, his hands reaching after her when she pulled back to look him up and down. Muscular, rangy, broad-shouldered, utterly defeated; she wanted to laugh, oh the poor man, she wanted to kiss his brow and pat his cheek. She grabbed his face and kissed his mouth again; all the penny dreadfuls were suddenly making sense to her. She could see why there might be a piquant pleasure in a trembling, unwilling response. Of course he would help her—he’d have no choice, caught up in his need. His hands slid to her bum, tightening against his good sense. In a minute he would regret this very much, and she would adore soothing him for it, Don’t fret, it’s all right, but she had him under her thumb right now, and he would never forget the experience.

“Wait,” he said into her mouth.

“No,” she whispered. And he listened to her. His hand tightened in her hair, and his tongue returned to hers. She said into his mouth, “Touch me,” and felt a triumphant thrill as his hand slid between her legs, pressing lightly through the silk. She had been touched there before, but never compliantly, and it made all the difference; it made her feel powerful, an Aphrodite. She abandoned his mouth for his neck, biting him over the Adam’s apple. Beneath her fingers, his biceps flexed, and his throat worked on a guttural noise. Yes. She bit again, sucking lightly.
