Captivated
Page 40
Face flooding with bright color, Abigail reached out, lightly touched the front of his scarlet trousers with white-gloved fingers before hurriedly withdrawing her hand. "Oh, yes, Colonel Coally. I know what Lady Pokingham's favorite toy is."
"I am not a gentleman," he warned her stiffly. "Nor am I wealthy. Though I have enough to live in comfort."
"Colonel Coally." The brown eyes staring up at him glowed with amber. "What you have is far more important than wealth or a title."
"And what is that, Lady Wynfred?"
Robert held his breath, not daring to hope, afraid he could not bear the pain if she rejected him now.
A curse rang out on the streeta coachman soothed the lead horse that a lady's parasol had frightened.
Abigail smiled, the smile he had come to love, wild and free as the storm."ThePearl, Colonel Coally."
"Do you take me, Abigail?" The sound issuing from his throat was stark and raw.
"I take you, Robert."
Suddenly the streets of London disappeared and there were only the two of them, a man and a woman.
Laughing, oblivious of the curious, shocked stares, Robert picked Abigail up and swung her over his head. "You are quite wrong, Miss Abigail. Lady Pokingham has another favorite toy, one that can be gift-wrapped without requiring amputation. But you can only have it after we are married. And if I insert it."
