Christien pulled her to him in a tight hug. She melted into him, leaning her body against his, all of his dips and angles, the hard muscles and warmth fitting into hers. She closed her eyes and inhaled his scent. Man, horse, leather, sunshine. His rough tunic scratched her cheek and she rubbed her face against it. Christien’s hold suddenly became something more. Less exuberant, more tender. His arms cradled her instead of simply holding her, his hands moved slowly up her back, his fingers exploring.

“Madelaine,” he murmured, his voice husky.

“Mmm.”

She wrapped her arms around him, letting her hands explore as his did. His back was roped with tight muscles that flexed beneath her fingers. He was all sinew and strength.

She pressed her thighs to his, luxuriating in the strength of him. If she were strong like Christien she wouldn’t have to worry about fighting Lucien or her husband.

She tilted her head up to find Christien’s silver eyes looking down at her, sparking with longing and need. His lips parted, little puffs of breath fanning her cheek. She touched those lips with the tip of her finger, memorizing the softness. Her stomach clenched and a heaviness developed between her legs. A restlessness overtook her and she stood on tiptoe, pressing her lips to his.

At first he didn’t respond, then something broke loose inside him and he groaned. Cupping the back of her head with his large hand, he urged her forward, his mouth opening, his tongue touching the seam of her lips, prodding them open.

In the past, she’d been disgusted when her husband wanted her to kiss open-mouthed, but now she wanted Christien inside her in any way she could get him. She opened eagerly, hungrily, sucking his tongue in and causing him to moan. The sound vibrated through her, making her move her legs to ease the pressure between them.

The rigid outline of his erection pressed against her belly. Just one time she wanted to know how it could be between a man and a woman who loved each other. She’d heard the maids whisper and understood it could be so much more than what she’d experienced. She wanted that with Christien.

But he pulled away and took a deep breath, holding her at arm’s length. “We must stop.”

“Why?”

“’Tis not right.”

“I want you to show me how beautiful it can be. I want to see the beauty, Christien. I want to know it’s more than pain and degradation. That it’s more than being controlled and humiliated.”

He closed his eyes and groaned. His arms still held her at a distance but they were shaking with the effort. “I would like nothing more than to show you how beautiful it can be. But I cannot.”

“I see.” She looked away, embarrassed she had asked. Mortified he had rejected her.

“Madelaine. Love. Please do not think I don’t want you. You have already witnessed the proof. I want you very much, but there is nothing I can offer you. You are married to a brutal man who will kill us if he discovered our transgressions.
