Chapter 13

MARCUS HAD WANTED to slowly make Jess want him. Instead, he was the one who couldn’t seem to get his fill of her. No matter how many times their lips met and their bodies came in contact, it wasn’t enough.

It would never be enough.

She had told him he could do whatever he liked. He knew they couldn’t live out most of the fantasies that whirled in his head until they were wed and in bed.

But he could give her a taste of what that would be like—and, mayhap, satisfy himself, as well.

He bent, sliding his hands along the sweet curve of her hips and down to her calves, to where her tunic fell. Today, she wore one of hunter green, a sharp contrast to her deep amethyst eyes. Marcus grabbed the edge and pulled it swiftly up, forcing her arms to rise as he pulled it over her head and tossed it aside. He could hear her breathing, already ragged, anticipating his next move.

Stepping so close that their bodies touched, he felt the spark between them. The first time it occurred, Marcus had been surprised. Now, he understood something magical connected them and he expected it each time they came in contact with one another. His hands glided up her hips, the hemp undertunic rough against his palms. When they wed, he would dress Jess in nothing but smooth silks and the finest of wools. She needed something gentle against her satin skin.

Unless it were his hands on her.

He wrapped an arm about her, securing her to him, as his free hand sought her breast. He kneaded it, wishing he could strip the undertunic from her but not daring to do so. Marcus sensed the tension coiled within her and thought she might flee at any moment.

Small steps, he told himself.

Continuing to play with her breast, he brushed a flat palm across her nipple several times, feeling it spring to life. Jess moaned softly and pressed against his hand. He used his thumb and forefinger to toy with the nipple, teasing it to a peak as she continued to make small sounds in the back of her throat. Pleased, he did the same with the other, knowing she enjoyed it.

Marcus had been inside the tent before and guessed her pallet lay slightly to the right. Backing her up, he eased both of them to their knees. Jess’ arms went around his waist as he kissed her deeply, continuing to massage her breasts. He lifted her and set her down, feeling around, discovering they had landed on her pallet. She stretched her legs out underneath him as he hovered over her.

He could take her. Here. Now. He was already harder than a plank of wood. That wasn’t his plan, though. He needed her to want him enough so that she would agree to wed him—without any talk of love. Marcus intended to show Jess just how passionate her nature was. Already, she kissed better than any woman he’d known, learning the lessons he taught her and expanding on them until she was now a master of the art of kissing.
