“I haven’t asked you for anything yet.”

“Then go, before ”

“Before your desire becomes as great as mine?”

“Aye nay I donna know. I canna think straight when you look at me like that.”

“Then why not admit you want me?”

“’Tis not wise. You’re going to wed Lady Kimbra. She despises me. You should let me leave before the Hanover learns I havena been disposed of according to his wishes.”

“You want me to let you go so you can run to the Gordon chieftain?”

“Nay, I will go somewhere anywhere but to Tavis. He lost my regard when he asked me to never mind, ’tis over and done with.”

Damian was silent a long time, then he said, “I will consider your request.”

“When can I leave?”

“When I decide the time is right.”

He grasped her shoulders and pulled her against him. His voice held a desperate note. “You don’t understand, do you, sweeting?”

“What am I supposed to understand?”

His voice was taut, as if stretched to the limit. “That no matter how hard I try to stay away from you, I find myself being drawn ever closer. Lust is a strange emotion. I’ve been smitten before, but never like this. I’ve always prided myself on my self-control, until you came along. What happened to me, Elissa? Has your old nurse put a spell on me?”

“There is no such thing,” Elissa scoffed.

He shifted, melding their bodies together. “Can you feel how much I want you?”

Her breath hitched; desire pounded through her. He was already swollen and hard. Her resolve melted as she fell headlong into his passion, letting it fill her until there was nothing but raw need throbbing through her.

“You shouldna be here,” she whispered tremulously.

He gave her a wolfish grin, then captured her lips, moving his mouth passionately over hers. Elissa tried to tell herself she didn’t want this, but the lie stung her tongue. Dimly she recalled Nan’s words earlier tonight, after she’d denied that she carried Damian’s bairn.

Will ye be able to say that tomorrow with the same confidence?

Not if Damian had his way tonight, a small voice cautioned. The warning was like chaff in the wind as Damian’s mouth and hands made a mockery of her resolve. She wanted to feel him close to her, wanted to savor every dazzling, exciting moment while she could, before reality intruded. Her mouth clung to his; her arms crept around his neck, needing more than mere kisses.

She responded eagerly, holding nothing of herself back. The urgent pressure of his body against hers made her feel gloriously alive. His kiss deepened; she responded with a moan of surrender. She wanted him inside her now.

Damian ended the kiss; she clung to his lips, breathless, dazed. He regarded her solemnly, his voice raw with feeling. “There’s no place I would rather be at this moment.”

“I’ll never forgive you for doing this to me.”

He bunched her nightdress in his fists and raised it slowly upward. “Doing what?”

Her heart slammed against her ribs. “Making me want you.”

She raised her eyes to his and saw naught but his raw need.
