When he took a step toward her, she fairly jumped back from him. “I need to return to my vigil,” she said quickly.

“Stay put,” he warned.

Defying him, she took another step back. “Really, the doctor will be here soon—” She didn’t get to finish, because he yanked her toward him. She glanced down at the hand that had pulled her forward. He’d grabbed a fistful of the pink lawn chemisette she wore under her low-cut dress, which added pleated ruffles to her neck and modestly filled in her bodice. It wasn’t the first time he

’d done that.

Incredulously, she said, “You did it again! How dare you do that again! Five thousand pounds deducted from your fee for wrinkling my clothes. Now maybe you’ll keep your hands to yourself!” His response was a kiss that wrinkled her toes instead. Margaret didn’t try to stop him, probably couldn’t have if she thought to. But she was too enthralled to do anything at that moment other than enjoy the sensations inspired by his lips and tongue.

Her teeth hadn’t clenched this time. His tongue moved into her mouth as if it belonged there. The fluttering was back in her stomach, too, and even her breasts tingled. A single pulse began to throb between her legs, almost frightening her, but it was so pleasant she didn’t know what to make of it.

She’d gripped his shoulders, was afraid she’d fall if she didn’t, her knees were so weak. But he was holding her firmly to him, both his arms wrapped around her back. And the feel of his big, hard, muscular body was so exciting…

“Are you going to deduct for that, too?” he suddenly asked. “Or maybe add the five thousand back on?”

She wasn’t a flirtatious sort, but she’d just been shocked—pleasantly—so she said something she wouldn’t ordinarily say. “Maybe I will add it back on. That kiss was rather nice. Would you mind doing it again?”

“Jesus, Maggie,” he almost growled before his mouth claimed hers again, ravaging her senses.

He was holding her much tighter now, and heat was starting to radiate between them, so much of it she swore if she wore spectacles they’d be steamed. Never in her life had she guessed that kissing could be like this, could cause such intense feelings…

The cough by the door tore them apart. “The dowager duchess has come to call,” Mr. Hobbs announced without inflection.
