Chapter 16

I LOST MY sense of time, standing in that archway with Nathan’s lips on mine.

The kiss that was at first soft and gentle became more, and I pressed closer to him. He stroked the back of my neck and I wanted him to wrap his hands in my hair. I wanted to rip the pins out and let my hair loose.

Laughter floated down from the hall and he drew me away with a whisper. “Come with me.”

He led me to the back of the shed. Right at the back, in the dim light of a single bulb, was an old cloakroom. It was clean and small, but empty other than the hanging racks, a bench, and a chair.

Nathan grinned. “They’re all wearing their coats tonight.”

I rubbed my arms as the warmth of his body left me.

He gave me a crooked smile. “Caroline, I don’t believe it. You came with me. Why haven’t you pushed me away already?”

“Because I’m not going to.”

To prove my point, I closed the door and pulled the chair under the handle.

He waited. The look on his face was scared, vulnerable, in stark contrast to his strength, but it didn’t stop me.

I ran to him and kissed him, stretching up on tiptoes to reach his lips as my hands reached under his jacket, tugging and pulling on his shirt. When I touched his skin, my hands stayed for a moment, soaking up the feeling of his warmth. He crushed me to him, kissing me until I was dizzy and my knees were jelly.

He held me tight. He whispered, “Caroline, if we do this, you can’t have a hair out of place. Do you understand? Because you’re going to have to go back in there afterwards and there’ll be trouble if anyone even suspects. Your family is…”

I could hardly breathe, but I cut him off. “I know.”

Then, as I stood there with my legs buckling and my head swimming with the scent and feel of him, I laughed. “But we don’t have to worry about your clothes being out of place.”

I kissed him on his mouth and his cheeks and then under his chin. I tugged on his shirt buttons and pulled them apart, and I kissed his chest too, as he shut his eyes and let me. My hands touched every part of him I could reach, clothed or unclothed, and I reveled in this sense of freedom, my head filled with it. I wanted to do this in the sunlight, under an open sky, when I could see all of him and shed my own clothes.

He caught my hands and held them in his. “Come here.”

He pulled me over to the bench and sat me down. He kissed me gently in the dim light. His mouth trailed down my throat to the edge of my dress, and the breath caught in my throat. He never stayed in one place long. Not long enough to crush or mark my clothing.

But my chest heaved and when his fingers brushed my inner thigh, I tugged at his clothes, perplexed for the first time.
