His
eyes shot open when he thought he heard a woman’s voice. He must’ve been
mistaken and closed his eyes again. Damnation, now he was hearing her voice.
“James,
I need to talk to you.”
He
moaned and thought she haunted him, but he answered anyway. “Hmmm, lovely?” He
felt her touch when she shook his shoulder. James grabbed her wrist and pulled
her over him. “You came.”
“I
must speak with you.”
James
fondled the curve of her hip and moaned. “Nay, no talk, lovely. Will you kiss
me? I’ll sleep contentedly if you do.” He gave her no choice when he forced her
head closer and set his lips on hers. A moan escaped him as pleasure swarmed
his already heated body. He forced her mouth open with his tongue and touched
it to hers. By God, the kiss was everything he’d imagined. She squirmed against
him and James kept her from moving away with his hands linked behind her back. She
broke off the kiss and slapped his face hard.
James
sobered briefly and laughed. He rubbed his face of the slight sting. “Aw, lass,
why are you angry? Come, give me another kiss. That was practice.”
She
slapped him again. “Are you drunk?”
He
chuckled knowing if he hadn’t imbibed his face would be afire with the force of
her ire. “Mayhap, a wee b-bit. Aye, mayhap a lot of b-bit.”
“I’d
say the latter. I should leave.” She tried to pull away and narrowed her eyes
when he refused to release her.
James
kept a tight hold of her wrist, for if he was dreaming he wouldn’t allow it to
end. Not this soon. “Nay, s-stay. It’s your f-fault, for being s-so lovely. Aye,
you caused me anguish, for my heart never hurt s-so much. But God, I want you.
Let me.” He tugged the bodice of her gown and exposed her breasts. “So beautiful,
the p-prettiest bosom I’ve ever laid eyes on.” He leaned forward and kissed the
flesh until his lips reached her nipple. His tongue laved at it, and he took it
into his mouth and suckled.
She
gasped and remained still.
He
moaned as pleasure rode his thoughts. “Ah, Emlyn, what you d-do to me.”
James
continued to ply his attention on her breasts and would’ve been happy to do so
for the rest of the night. He returned his lips to her mouth and kissed her
tenderly. Ever since she’d bested him on the field, he wanted her in his arms,
wanted to taste her, and wanted her attention. His dream came true for she lay
against him and returned his kisses willingly. There was desire in her kiss.
“Let
me love you, lass.”
“James,
we shouldn’t. I came here to discuss a proposal.”
“Aye,
but we s-should. Give me this one night and I shall die a contented man.” He
kept her in his arms, fearful if he let her go, she’d vanish again.
“You’re
drunk and I only came here to ask you something.” Her voice was soft, feminine,
and caused him to caress her.
“Ask
m-me anything for I am at your s-service.”
“I
want you to take me with you.”
His
body hummed with excitement, having her next to him, pressed intimately against
his body. “Aye? That’s what I’ve been asking you, lovely. Remove your gown.”
“I
don’t know if I should.” She continued to keep her body rigid.
“You
should. I promise you won’t regret it. You’ve bewitched me, lass, because this
is what I’ve thought of since you pinned me to the ground.”
