Though Niall released her legs so she could stand once more, he refused to let go of her, not yet ready for that. He couldn’t believe he’d taken her like a whore against the tree, here in a garden where anyone might find them. He couldn’t believe she had let him.
But he’d do it again without hesitation. Because it was Bree. His, at last.
He brushed kisses over her cheeks and eyelids, basking in the contentment of having her after all these years.
She stirred in his arms.
“What was that?”
“What?” He drew back to look at her. “What we just did?”
“No.” She colored fetchingly. “What it . . . did to me. I . . . I had the strangest sensations. Like I might faint . . . or fly or . . . something.”
Uh-oh. “Pleasurable sensations?” he asked warily.
“Oh yes!” When he began to chuckle, she added hastily, “Not that I haven’t felt something . . . close to that before, but not—”
He cupped her cheek. “I take it that Trevor never made you come.”
“ ‘Come’? Ohhh, that’s what you meant when you said, ‘Come with me.’ You meant that feeling.”
“Yes. When a man ‘comes,’ he . . . er . . . puts his seed inside you. When a woman does, she feels those things you felt. Or so I’m told.”
“Seed?” Panic crossed her face and she pushed him away, going off a little distance so she could straighten her clothing. “Oh, Lord, you could have put a child in my belly!” There was just enough light from the streetlamps for him to see her desperate expression. “You said there were ways to avoid that. Can you—”
“I’m sorry, sweeting—any method of that sort would need to be arranged beforehand.” Swiftly, he buttoned up his breeches and trousers. They were obviously not going to renew their sensual interlude. “I didn’t come here intending to do as we did. But you were married to Trevor for a few years before you bore a child, so I doubt that our one time—”
“That’s what men always say.” She stared him down. “Then they prove to be wrong, and next thing you know, they’ve gotten a woman with child and they’re running away as fast as they can.”
“I wouldn’t do that, damn it!”
“You did it before.”
“Not after giving you a child, for God’s sake! And I had good reason for leaving, no matter what you think.” He walked up to grab her by the arms. “I’m not having this argument now, when we just shared the most magical moment of our lives.”
She gazed at him, her face softening. “It was magical, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, it was.” He smiled at her. “We should do it again.”
Now looking distinctly wary, she drew away from him once more. “I don’t think that’s wise.”
“Why not?”
“Because I can’t be your mistress, Niall.”
“I’m not asking you to be my mistress.” He stared at her. “We could marry. Turn this into a real betrothal. I need a wife, and you—”
“I don’t want to marry you!” she cried.
