“You haven’t answered,” he said. “Why were you waiting for me?”
“Perhaps I wanted to kiss you again.”
Jarvis’s head shot up. Had she just said what he thought she said? “Kiss me?”
Olivia nodded.
“I do not think it is a good idea,” he croaked.
“Why not?”
Because you’re soon going to be betrothed to another man.“You don’t even know me.”
“I know enough.”
Jarvis looked away. He did not expect Olivia to be so impetuous. Neither did he think she’d be this forward with a gentleman. Was she the same way with Bradshaw? Perhaps with any man she fancied, which, of course, excluded Jarvis.
“You do not know anything that matters.”
“Then tell me.” She took his hands in hers. “Tell me your name.”
Jarvis shook his head.
“I can tell you my name. It’s Olivia.”
Jarvis smiled. Of course, she couldn’t see it for the cloth covering his face.
“Now, you share something about yourself. Anything. I just told you my name.”
Jarvis couldn’t take it any longer. He couldn’t tell her anything, but she wasn’t about to let it go. He needed to act. So he did the first thing that came to his mind.
He carefully untied the cloth covering the lower part of his face.
Olivia rejoiced the moment Jarvis took off the cloth from his face. Finally! He was going to open up to her.
Instead, he leaned in and kissed her.
Olivia froze as his warm lips covered hers. Her entire body tensed, and her mind panicked. Jarvis ran his hands down her arms, and Olivia took a deep breath, relaxing.
“Kiss me,” he whispered against her lips.
Olivia swallowed, then leaned into him and put her mouth over his lips.
Jarvis smiled, then opened his mouth over hers and licked the seam between her lips.
The tingly feeling originating in her lips spread along her body and settled between her legs. She moaned, and Jarvis plunged his tongue inside.
Olivia lost the ability to think. Her entire body arched in an attempt to feel more of him. She felt tingly all over, and the only thing that could soothe her was his touch.
Jarvis removed the covers between them and covered her body with his. His hands were all over her body, making her skin feel like it was on fire.
Oh, Lord! Jarvis is touching me!The panicked thought entered her mind as his hands ventured lower, raising her nightgown and grazing her naked thighs.
Olivia wiggled, feeling self-conscious. Nobody had ever touched her like this before. It was mortifying but also exhilarating to feel his touch on her bare skin.
Her body was too sensitive, and she wanted to remove the ghastly nightgown. She always slept naked for this exact reason, and she wished she could be naked now, too.
Except she didn’t want Jarvis to see her naked. As it was, she felt too embarrassed in her semitransparent nightgown. Was she pleasing to look at? She doubted it.
