She could have no idea what she was currently doing to him. For he didn’t believe she was that cruel, to torture him on the highest order. He knew that while she wasn’t a lady in title, she was one in every other way. He shouldn’t take her on the sofa, as a one-time event. It wasn’t right. It wasn’t done.

But the way she was looking at him, with such pleading on her face, was his undoing. He asked her once more if she was sure, and the glare she sent his way said more than words.

He was sunk.

He buried his hands in her long, silky dark tresses, which rippled over his fingers like water. He tasted her once more before dipping a finger into her lush folds to ensure she was ready for him. It took him but moments to rid himself of his trousers and her of her dress and chemise, leaving nothing between them. He positioned himself between her legs, finding her arching up toward him, more than eager.

“Are you ready?” he asked in a guttural tone, and she nodded, one of her long, soft hands coming up to cup his cheek.

He guided himself into her slowly, but she lifted herself up toward him so that they were joined much swifter than he would have imagined.

“Rebecca!” he moaned her name at her sharp intake of breath, but when he pried his eyes open, hers were clear and free of pain.

“I’m fine,” she said.

Yet he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure?”

“If you ask me that one more time, I am going to punch you myself,” she threatened, and if he could have laughed, he would have, but at the moment he could do nothing but focus on keeping himself in control.

He was trying to give her time to adjust to him, to stretch to fit him, but when she began moving, he was lost. He began to pump into her in a rhythm as old as time itself, though Valentine didn’t think it had ever been so perfect between a man and woman before.

Knowing he couldn’t keep himself from finding fulfillment much longer, he reached down between them and began to stroke her until she was trembling around him, squeezing him even tighter than she had been before.

He just managed to pull himself from her before expending himself onto his shirt next to her. Replete, he had only enough energy to sink down onto the sofa next to her, drawing her into his arms. She lay her head on his chest, and he lifted his jacket to place it over top of her.

Guilt began to creep into his soul.

“That was poorly done of me,” he said, looking around them. “Your first time should have been on your marriage bed — or, at the very least, on a bed, for goodness sake. I am sure that is what a proper duke would have done. I, however—”

“You are magnificent.”

He snorted. “I would hardly say that is a fitting description.”

“Were you on the other side of this encounter?”

“I suppose not.
