Dueling With the Duke (Brotherhood of the Sword)
Page 15
“I do. Very much.” She kissed him then, putting every ounce of passion she had into the embrace. “I cannot believe all the trouble you went to for me. All the books, the house. It is too much.”
“You deserve the very best, my love. I’m sorry I doubted you before. In truth I think I’ve wanted you from the first moment I laid eyes on you, and I blamed you for it.”
She kissed him again. “Shh. No more such talk. We both lived the hands we were dealt. It is all in the past.” Then she linked her hand with his and pulled him to his feet. “Now then, show me to this stargazing balcony.”
“It is still light out.”
“Yes, but I have always wanted to have a romantic tryst outside on a balcony. We can look at the stars afterward.” She flashed him a wicked smile.
“You are going to be a most naughty wife.”
“I shall try.”
