If she were connecting the fragments of this encounter to form a lasting memory, she would focus on small details—the faint stubble along his jawline that pricked at her cheek, how his hands remained tight against his sides, moving slightly sometimes, as though he wanted to touch her but had forbidden himself to do so.
She felt no such qualms. His body was firm and solid and warm beneath her questing hands.
So warm.
She wanted to find a bed and curl up against him like a kitten. A bed would be nice. A nice bed with soft sheets.
A feeling of warmth inside her body, centered between her thighs. Heat and wanting. A melting sensation in her belly. She couldn’t quite catch her breath.
She should have ended this kiss long ago, but his hands still remained at his sides and her new goal in life was to feel his hands on her bare flesh.
She was softening and he remained so stiff. He didn’t wrap his arms around her or whisper sweet things in her ear. He kissed her almost punishingly. She wanted passion from him, she would coax it out of him.
At least she could tell that his body responded. She could feel him hard and thick, pressing against her through all the layers of clothing separating them.
“MissPenny,” he moaned. “Wilhelmina.”
She liked the sound of her name on his lips.
“How did you feel when you were watching me in the window, Wilhelmina Penny?” he asked.
She licked her lips because they’d gone dry as dust. “Hungry.”
“And how did you feel when you saw me stroking my...” he stared into her eyes, “cock?”
“Your...?” She was in over her head. She should make a run for it.
“Cock,” he said again, the consonants like little explosions. “Do you call it something else? A bold lady such as yourself who holds dukes at pistol point and spies on them during private moments must have a word for everything she sees.”
“Erm... manroot?”
The ghost of a smile, nothing more. What would it take to make this man laugh? She really wanted to know. She was discovering so many new goals tonight.
“Charmer?” she suggested.
“Absolutely not,” he growled. “Charmer makes it sound like he’s a dandy dressed in green-striped trousers and a yellow waistcoat who twirls his moustache and uses a quizzing glass.”
“So it’s a he?” she asked.
He tilted his hips forward, bringing her into more intimate contact with the body part in question. “Most definitely. And he likes bold ladies who spy on him.”
“He appears to be fashioned on a grand scale. Not that I have much to compare him with. Some classical etchings. Some disappointing statuary.”
“I have a big cock. Is that what you’re trying to say?”
He kept repeating the word.Ah.He was trying to frighten her into running away.
“You should know that I’m not easily frightened, Your Grace,” she said bravely.
“Please, by all means, call me Drew. We’re intimates now, since you’ve seen my—”
“Cock.” There, she’d said it.
“Very good, MissPenny.”
She held her breath as his fingers skimmed across the edge of her bodice. He dipped his fingers lower and she shivered.
Bodice. Letter. Hidden between her breasts.
