Chapter Six

What was she doing? She should get up and walk away, not stay in bed kissing him. But she’d been wanting to taste him, to feel his mouth on hers for so long.

And it was not as if they were total strangers. She’d nursed him for almost three weeks. He had not told her his family name yet, but did it matter? She was no innocent girl out in her first Season. If she succumbed to his advances, she knew exactly what she was doing.

Touching him felt so good. She loved the little moments that allowed her to stroke his face, hold his hand or check the bruises on his chest. Even the ugly gashes on his head were tolerable because they meant that she could be close to him.

She’d taken so many liberties already, what did it matter if she yielded to him completely? He obviously wanted her and she desired him as she’d not desired a man in years.

As she drank from his lips, she moaned in pleasure. He was a sweet wine that she could not get enough of.

When he cupped her bottom, she could feel the heat of his firm hands everywhere. They slid upward, skimming between her legs for the briefest moment before continuing on. She wanted it, wished he would linger there.

She was wet and the tantalizing kiss only made her want more from him.

His hands gripped her waist and she felt so soft under their strength. What would it feel like to have those hands on her every day? To be cherished by this man, who emanated power, even as he recovered from injury. What would he be like at full capacity?

His hands cupped her jaw and she melted inside, but then he surprised her by gripping her hair and commanding her to yield. That only spurred her lust and she took his mouth fully, sliding her tongue along his, wanting a fulfillment only he could offer her.

“Mmmmm.” She pressed her chest fully against his, loving the friction. Her nipples responded eagerly, going tight and rigid.

She rotated her hips until she could feel his erection. Clenching her fingers into his shoulders, she steadied herself as she rubbed against him.

His mouth took hers and this time, she was very aware of the difference. Her kiss was tender, exploratory. His consumed, drowned her deep in the waters of desire and there was nothing to save her.

What had happened? A moment ago, she’d felt in control. She tasted and sampled him, all the while knowing that if she wanted to, she could pull away. But this, this was something she’d never experienced before.

Could she retreat? Did she even want to?

He made the decision for her, easing apart until she could open her eyes again. They were nose to nose now and as she looked into his brown eyes, she trembled. Ragged breaths were the only sound she could make.

She dared not speak. That kiss had laid her soul bare and she could not voice the dark needs that had been exposed.
