“Lady Marsden… Amelia. Will you come upstairs with me?”
I felt my heartbeat accelerate.
I knew where this was going, didn’t I?
In all of our time together, Will and I still hadn’t been reallytogether. We’d come close so many times… the first time in his townhouse, when I had kissed him in the library… and the second time, in his dressing room after the game of hide-and-seek, when I had wanted him so badly, I ached…
Indeed, we had come very close.
But the most intimate part of Will – the most intimate part ofmyself– was still unknown to me.
I bit my lip, letting myself sink into his blue eyes. He gave me a wicked grin, and then led me up the grand stairs and down an unfamiliar hallway. Finally, we entered a room I had never been in before.
It was unmistakably Will’s bedroom.
Everything was just as I expected it to be. The bed was large and beautiful, the sheets crisp and white, and the moon and stars were shining brightly through the large glass-paned windows.
Will spun me onto the bed, and I felt my feet give out from under me as I fell into a soft pillowy cocoon. I watched him as he removed his cravat, and then unbuttoned every button on his shirt, revealing golden tanned skin.
He pulled the white linen shirt off, the muscles in his arms flexing, and I couldn’t help but stare. He looked like a living, breathing version of the statues of Greek Gods I had seen in the museums… instead of alabaster white, he was the color of the sun.
I had never seen the Lord fully shirtless… not even in our most reckless moments. And even in my imagination, his bare skin hadn’t stirred the same feelings inside me that I was feeling now.
He kneeled on the bed before me, slowly removing my tights and other garments, his fingers sending goosebumps up and down my legs and arms.
I sighed, letting him undress me, waves of anticipation coursing through me.
And then his hands were on my waist… and his lips were softly crashing into my own. An unmistakable need took hold of my body… A need to be one with his. I wanted nothing but to betogetherwith Will.
Like a husband and wife.
He suddenly pulled back from our passionate kiss, his blue eyes wide and vulnerable as he stared into mine.
“Amelia, my darling… my wife. Do you want this?”
I smiled, pulling his body back towards mine.
“More than anything in the world.”
