Chapter Fourteen

“Yes, my lord, it was a lovely dinner party, was it not?” She directed her comments to her lap.

Jason put his finger under her chin and lifted her head. “It was lovely, and you know that is not what I wish to speak of.”

He glanced away and then and cleared his throat. “We got off to a very bad start.”

She raised her eyebrows. “Is that how you define it, my lord?”

“All right. Let me say that again. I acted like a jackass at our wedding, and I want to make up for it.” He bent his head to study her. “Please, Olivia, let us start again.”

Her eyes flashed with anger. “There is nothing to start, you have requested an annulment, and I have signed the notification papers.”

“Forget the annulment, Olivia. I said there will not be one and that is the end of it.”

She huffed her opinion, and looked out the window at the black night.

Jason studied her in the darkness of the carriage. Taken separately, her features were not remarkable, but together they portrayed an intelligent, beautiful woman. With a stubborn chin. He never doubted in a contest of wills who would win, and the upcoming clashes excited him. As a matter of law, he could demand his husbandly rights. But when he brought Olivia to his bed, it would be with her consent and desire.

The thought of her complete surrender, of her tresses flowing over them like a silk curtain as she rode him and called out his name at her release brought a sweat to his brow, and an uncomfortable tightness in his breeches. He shifted as the carriage drew up to the Lansdowne House and the driver jumped down.

“Just give us a minute.” Jason reached to close the door the driver had opened. He turned to Olivia.

“Excuse me, my lord, it grows late, and I am tired.” The wariness in Olivia’s eyes brought him no pleasure. He didn’t want her afraid of him.

Relaxing his rigid stance, he gently moved her head toward him and cupped her face in his hands. “We didn’t have a proper kiss at our wedding.”

“I do seem to remember you missing my face by several inches,” she whispered.

He smiled and lowered his head. He lightly touched her lips with his, and then brushed them back and forth. When she didn’t resist, he pressed harder, coaxing her lips open with his tongue. She gasped and he slid in, his tongue exploring all the recesses of her mouth, leaving him no doubt she had never been kissed like this. He eased her body closer, feeling her breasts crushed up against his chest. She smelled of lavender and aroused woman, and he couldn’t get enough. Her mouth was nectar he sipped from, could become addicted to.

His lips left hers to nibble on her earlobe “I want you, Olivia,” he said in a soft voice, “as my wife, in my bed.”

“No, my lord, I have other plans.” She pushed him back, her voice shaking. Her chest rose and fell as she took in great gulps of air.
