Chapter Twenty-one

Bishop’s heart thundered as he watched the sharp glint of panic fade from her shimmering gaze. Then she slowly eased one hand from around his neck to slide it along his hair-roughened jaw in a tender, sensual caress before she touched the tip of her finger to the corner of his mouth.

“I’ve dreamed of these lips,” she whispered, her focus following the path of her caress along the curve of his lower lip. “Asleep, awake...they’ve haunted me.” Her lashes fluttered over her eyes, making his chest lurch. Then she took a slow inhale and met his stare. “Bishop.”

Her voice was a breath. A sigh. A vow and plea at once.

It drifted over his skin, lifting the hair on his arms and tingling across his nape, before diving into the very pit of him where it curled up like a cat before the hearth, making a home for itself.

In a rush of movement, he rose to his feet, pulling her up with him.

A husky giggle slid from her throat as she grasped ahold of him to keep her balance within the steady circle of his arms.

“I need you out of this bloody dress. Now.”

She smiled then turned in place. Lifting the tangled locks of her hair, she held them atop her head so he could access the ribbons that crisscrossed her back.

Eyeing the knotted laces with a narrowed glare, Bishop withdrew the knife tucked into his sash. One smooth slash cut through the ribbons and loosened the gown in an instant.

Cailleach’s gasp of surprise blended sensually with the sound of silk sliding against satin as the costume fell heavily to the floor. Another delicate slash of the blade sliced through the laces of her corset, releasing her from its cage to leave her in nothing but a short chemise, her pale stockings, and those damned red garters.

Still holding her hair atop her head, she twisted to give him a little glance over her bare shoulder. The mischievous sparkle of anticipation in her eyes angled sure and straight to his cock.

He made a sound deep in his throat—half primal need, half warning—and her lips parted on a swift inhale.

But instead of inspiring uncertainty or hesitation, his hunger seemed to bolster her confidence. Releasing her hair, she turned to face him. More pins fell from their moorings as her heavy brown locks tumbled down her back. After tucking the knife back into his sash, he delved his fingers into her hair, searching for the remaining pins. While he focused intently on his task, she stood still and self-assured, her hands roaming gently up and down his sides, then over his tense abdomen and up the firm planes of his chest. From the edge of his gaze, he could see her looking up at him with a sultry glimmer in her eyes and a soft smile curving her generous mouth.

The nearly overwhelming urge to pick her up and toss her back onto the bed so he could dive between her slim thighs and claim his place in her heat made his body tense to living stone.
