Chapter Seven

Hartwell didn’t hesitate. He leaped from the settee with the grace of a wild jungle cat, grabbing her and hauling her to him so fast he knocked the very breath out of her.

Ah, but the reward was worth the shock. He kissed her. With such depth and delicious exploration she capitulated rather easily, not that she’d ever fight him. He wound his strong arms around her waist and crushed her close. Splayed his large hands across her back, the hot press of his fingers burning through the many layers she wore. She rested her hands on his chest, stroking the silky fabric of his waistcoat. He groaned at her touch. The primal, masculine sound made her shiver in awareness.

The man could kiss, and kiss well. He might lack in social skills and behave as if he were being tortured when amongst a crowd, but on a one-on-one basis?

Hartwell was absolutely divine.

He nipped and sucked at her lips and tongue, his hands winding a gentle exploration, mapping her body with methodical skill. They skimmed along her waist, over her hips, slid to her bottom, eliciting tingles wherever he touched. She wasn’t as brave, keeping her hands firmly on his front, though she did allow herself to stroke him everywhere. Marveling at the hard musculature of his form, the heat of his skin scorching her through his clothing, she couldn’t help but notice how different he was from her husband. Pomeroy had been older and slight, almost frail, especially near the end. Hartwell, on the other hand, was so virile and strong and masculine…

He broke the kiss, his lips drifting down the length of her neck, wet and hot as he panted against her skin. She clutched at him for fear of melting into a puddle at his feet, her breath coming in shuddering gusts as he continued to blaze a path with his lips down her neck, her shoulder, his mouth nudging away the fabric of her gown, revealing more and more flesh.

“Camden,” she whispered, running her index finger down the center of his waistcoat, following the line of buttons. For all her earlier bold words, she was suddenly acting like a virginal miss. How she wanted to undo each button. Wanted to strip him of his clothing and see if he were as muscular as he felt. Most of the men who moved amongst society were soft. Many wore padding on their shoulders to increase their bulkiness.

Not Hartwell…Camden. He felt hard everywhere.

Everywhere.

The word echoed in her mind and she slipped one button from its slot. Then another. And then another, until every single button was undone on his waistcoat. She spread it wide with both hands, pushing it and his jacket from his shoulders and down his arms so they both fell to the floor with a gentle swoosh.

“Are you undressing me, my lady?” His velvety voice was laced with amusement as he lifted his head to study her.

She returned his stare, blatantly reaching for his perfectly knotted cravat and slowly, carefully she unwound it from around his neck.
