Chapter 11

The moment his mouth touched hers, Clara experienced a pleasure so keen it was almost like pain, so intense it was almost unbearable. The press of his lips was light, and yet, she felt it in every part of her body. From fingertip to fingertip, from the bottom of her feet to the crown of her hair, it seemed as if every cell and every nerve ending she possessed was awakening to this new experience.

Her first kiss, she thought and closed her eyes, a move that ignited other senses. She became aware of his scent—a mixture of sandalwood and castile soap and something else, something deeper and earthier. She heard the tick of the clock on the mantel and the thud of her own heartbeat. She felt his warm palm cupping her cheek, his fingertips caressing the nape of her neck, his forearm brushing against her breast. In some vague corner of her mind, she knew it was all terribly improper and she ought to stop it, but she could not move. She could only feel, as the sweetness of it all washed over her and through her, becoming more potent with each tick of the clock. When his lips moved against hers and his tongue touched the seam of her closed lips, she stirred in agitation, giving a soft moan against his mouth.

He pulled back a fraction, his lips brushing hers in a teasing caress. He lifted his free hand to slide his arm around her shoulders, and as his fingertips ran lightly down her spine, any notions of stopping this wondrous experience went out of Clara’s head and vanished into space. When he pulled her closer, she came willingly, gladly, her arms wrapping around his neck, her sound of assent stifled by his mouth capturing hers again.

This kiss was more ardent, more demanding, his lips urging hers to part. When they did, his tongue entered her mouth—a shocking thing, and yet, as he tasted deeply of her, the pleasure within her deepened as well, bringing heat, and the sweetness of the first kiss gave way to a new sensation in the second, something hungry and wild, something almost desperate.

His tongue pulled back, and driven by instinct, she pursued. As her tongue entered his mouth, the strange hunger in her rose even higher, grew even hotter. This was the most intimate thing that had ever happened to her, and yet, strangely, it wasn’t intimate enough. She pressed her body closer to his, her arms tightening around his neck, and suddenly, she was falling forward and he was falling back. As their bodies sinking together onto the settee, Clara felt an exultation unlike anything she’d ever felt before.

He moved beneath her, making a rough sound against her mouth as if surprised, and who could blame him? Women, she knew well enough, weren’t supposed to be so brazen. And yet, he didn’t seem to mind, for he broke the kiss only long enough for both of them to take in air, and then, he was kissing her again, his tongue in her mouth and his arms tight around her.
