Celeste was laughing. “And instead, you practically kidnapped me from under his nose. And what was all that about making me jealous? Rennie seems to think our marriage is entirely her doing.”
“Sharp as a brass tack, that girl. She took one look at me looking at you, and cottoned on straight away. Thought she’d help things along. Why are we standing here like this? Can I please take you to bed?”
“Will you promise,” she asked, linking her hands about his neck, “to repeat that offer every night of my life?”
“Every night,” he vowed, and as she slid her fingers into his hair, he kissed her deeply, his hands running down over the beautiful dress to draw her closer. “This dress,” he muttered, “seems terribly flimsy. I’d hate to tear it. But I love the way I can feel your body through it.”
She wondered if he could feel the sudden heat that coursed through her. “It doesn’t allow,” she said, kissing his jaw as his head moved to nuzzle her neck, “for much in the way of underclothes.”
She certainly felt what that did to him, and caught her breath as he nipped gently at her earlobe. “Show me,” he growled, “before I tear it off you and have my wicked way.”
“I will,” she said softly. “I promise. Come with me.” And she led him into the darkened passageway and all the way to her bedroom.
