When Ace’s lips descended on Emily’s again, she knew this kiss wasn’t going to end. Not for a long time.
He loved her.
He’d asked her to move to the north of England with him.
Suddenly, she tapped his shoulder. “Wait.”
“What?” he asked, lifting his head.
“Does this mean that we’re to be married?”
He gave her another glowing smile. “Of course it does. Unless you think Ken will deny me?” He stiffened against her. “I’d not steal a man’s sister, Emily, no matter how much I wished to.”
She shook her head, joy bubbling inside her. “He’ll support the suit of a marquess. I’m sure of it.”
Ace lowered his mouth again, kissing her before he whispered against her lips. “In that case, I’m going to thoroughly kiss the woman who is about to become my wife. And when I’m done kissing her lips, I’m moving onto several other areas of her body.”
Her breath caught but she didn’t respond as he did exactly that. He kissed her mouth, then her cheeks, her forehead, down her neck, his lips sliding along the high collar of her dress.
And when he reached for the row of tiny buttons down her dress, she arched into him, beyond ready to remove some of her clothing.
He made quick work of several articles, making certain to kiss all the skin that became exposed with each layer that was removed.
A few of his items came off as well. His neck cloth, jacket, vest, boots, so that by the time he’d lifted her to carry her to the bed, she was in nothing but her chemise and him in his shirt and breeches.
But it still wasn’t enough.
She wanted more of his skin. Pulling on his shirts, Emily managed to get the garment partially up his torso even though he was carrying her, but as he placed her on the bed, he finished the job, pulling the garment over his head.
The sight of his rippling torso made her gasp, and for a moment she just stared. This man was hers.
She sat partially propped on her elbows, her legs dangling over the side of the bed. Emily expected him to cover her body with his but he didn’t.
For a moment he just stood there, drinking her in.
And then he reached down, lifting her ankle with a gentle hand until he’d brought it all the way to his lips. He placed a gentle kiss on the inside, the brush of his whiskers adding a slight scratch that only seemed to heighten her pleasure.
But he didn’t stop there. He kissed a trail up her calf and over her knee, making her shiver with pleasure as his tongue licked and his teeth nipped at every sensitive spot along the trail of his mouth.
Slowly, he pushed the hem higher until he’d reached her inner thigh.
Her breath came out in short gasps, pleasure pulsing through her with every touch as heat pooled between her legs.
And when his mouth brushed her most sensitive parts, her hips bucked from the bed. Never had she imagined that a touch could bring such pleasure and as he repeated the movement, she found his second pass even better.
But he didn’t stop there. On and on he went, kissing her until she could barely stand it, her head thrashing from side to side as she anchored herself by fisting one hand in his hair and the other into the blankets on the bed.
Finally, she broke apart with a cry of pleasure and relief, her body spasming with her finish.
Ace was up in a second, stripping down his breeches and then tugging off her chemise.
She might have been embarrassed but she hardly had a moment as he came down on top of her, their skin rubbing together in the most tantalizing way.
The tip of his manhood pressed against her thick folds but she didn’t shy away. Instead, she wrapped her legs about his waist, opening herself up to him as much as possible. This was the man she’d wed. The man who would be hers for the rest of her life. There was nothing left to fear.
