Excerpt
The door opened, and Rhosewen slipped inside, flashing a
smile as she clicked the latch into place. Aedan smirked at her stubbornness.
Then his breath caught in his chest as she stepped into the moonlight.
She wore a wispy, white nightgown with thin straps and a
deep neckline, displaying her slender collarbones and firm cleavage.
Aedan swallowed a lump then slid his gaze down her curvy
waist, his lips parting with a reverent sigh. The hem of her gown wafted around
her upper thighs, giving him his first full view of her legs, which were even
better than he’d imagined, and he’d imagined them perfect.
She walked toward him, her ivory skin glittering with every
fluid step. “Were you sleeping?” she whispered, climbing into bed.
Aedan rolled onto his side and propped his head on his hand,
scanning her from head to toe. “Nuh-uh.”
She wiggled closer. “I was missing you.”
“What a coincidence,” he whispered, drifting his thumb over
her cheek. “I was missing you.”
He wanted to see the rest of her body, the parts hidden
beneath the thin nightgown. They called his name, testing his self-control.
“You have a fantastic body, Rose. If you’re here to tempt me, mission
accomplished.”
His fingertips slid into the V of her gown then flitted to
her side, trailing over her hip to her thigh. Goosebumps followed, and she
giggled, cuddling closer to his warm body.
“How tempted are you?” she asked.
He returned his fingers to her cheek, tilting her head back
to find her eyes. “Very, but I don’t want to push my luck.”
“You’re sweet,” she whispered, searching his gaze, “and I
love that about you, but right now, there’s something else I want.”
“I’ll give you the world, Rose.”
“I don’t want the world. I want you to stop being so polite
to my parents and start making love to me.”
“Here?” he laughed.
“Now,” she soberly confirmed,
wrapping a hand around the back of his neck.
