Chapter Eleven

He had kissed her. He had kissed her as if he wanted to fuck her. Which he did. As soon as possible.

As Michael watched Aria scurry about Thornfield Grange directing his staff in the hanging of greenery, he kept coming back to the inevitable conclusion that he needed to bed Lady Arabella Whitmore as soon as possible. And because of that, he must be as mad as her cousin claimed Aria was. For bedding her would be akin to playing with fire – at least if that kiss was even a tiny indication of the passion that sparked between them.

He hadn’t expected that Aria would be so passionate in her response to his kiss, but Michael supposed he should have been. He had seen her watching him with those seductive eyes of hers. She might have been an innocent, but she was far from ignorant. She might not have given much thought to bed sport in the past, but she knew what went on between a man and a woman. And she wanted that intimacy – with him.

Whether it was out of gratitude or true desire that she wanted him, Michael could not say, but it also did not matter. He wanted Aria just as much. If not more. So he would have her. When the time was right. At this point, he had at least until Christmastide and possibly longer to decide when to bed her. Though if his overly randy cock had any say in the matter, he would take her sooner rather than later. Not that he had any objection to such a thing. He doubted Aria did either.

She had pulled back from his kiss in the conservatory with wide eyes and heaving breasts, obviously just as aroused as he was. Had Aria been another sort of woman, Michael had no doubt that she would have led him straight to his bedchamber and allowed him to have his way with her. But she was not that sort of woman. She was also still recovering her health and it was evident that while her passions had been stirred, her body was still a bit weak.

Michael was no fool. He knew they had sat back down on the conservatory bench because Aria’s legs would not support her. She had only been out of bed for a few days and she was still rather weak. Her leg injury was healing but she was hardly ready to undertake a full day’s worth of activities. Then again, had they not returned to the bench, he might not have kissed her and that would have been a true pity – for he had wanted to kiss her from the first and was thankful he had finally been given the opportunity.

He also knew that Aria believed she was seducing him. Oh, she hadn’t said that, certainly, for she was too much of a lady. However, he could tell by her choice of words, the things she had said and the way she had moved that she wanted to seduce him.
