Chapter Six

Tears spilled down her cheeks. Patience swiped them away. She could scarcely read she was crying so hard. James was unhappy with her. He’d accused her of all manner of ridiculous things.

Afraid!

Poppycock!

She wasn’t afraid. Her gaze fell on the words on the page but she stared without seeing. Her mind swept back over the things she and James had done together. She’d, in fact, been quite courageous. She’d dared to share her darkest desires with her husband and last night—she sniffed—he’d thrown it all back in her face.

Even after spending most of the night sobbing, fresh tears emerged and Patience resisted the urge to throw the book across the room.

Instead, she tossed it on her bed, stood and began to pace.

Why was she bothering to choose another passage? James had not invited her to have breakfast with him. He hadn’t requested she bring a book to him today.

No. He’d declared in no uncertain terms that he intended to consummate the marriage tonight. Well, he could do as he pleased. That didn’t mean Patience had to enjoy it.

Her gaze drifted to her bed. Would he take her there—she looked at the carpet—or would he tumble her on the rug as if she were a licentious scullery maid like he’d nearly done last night?

Her heart seemed to rise and pound in her chest at the thought. She could hardly breathe. She couldn’t begin to swallow.

Forcing her lungs to fill with air, she took up the book and then sank into one of the chairs beside the hearth. She thumbed through the pages. She had to show him that she was sorry. She gnawed her bottom lip. Would he want to punish her?

Her clitoris pulsed at the memory of his finger pushing and probing inside her channel the night before. She took a deep breath. Last night, she would have been willing to allow him to do anything to—

To…

“Oh, dear Lord,” she said aloud, her voice but a breath. Realization sank straight to her chilled toes.

Everything they’d done thus far had involved James doing something to her. Not with her. When he’d kissed her, when he’d elicited a response from her, she’d closed herself to him. She’d been unable to participate.

Suddenly, she felt like a selfish dolt.

No wonder he was so frustrated with her. Even though she’d done something previously unthinkable to her last night and had
