Hoping to stop her heart from racing, Arabella took a deep breath as she slowly walked towards the marquis. Pressing her body gently up against his, she whispered, “Please, take me to your bed. I can’t have my first time be with Mr. Tennant.”

“Did you come here for this?” Stephen asked, his eyes searching her face.

Not even sure herself, she murmured, “No, I don’t know, maybe.”

“I should resist you,” he groaned, “but I can’t. Do you trust me?”

Arabella nodded.

"Well, you shouldn’t,” he said, caressing her shoulders. “If I were trustworthy, I’d send you back to your room and take cold baths until we were married.” Taking her in his arms, he brushed aside her thick golden braid, pressed his lips to the curve of her neck, then began raining a trail of butterfly kisses up to her cheek. When he reached her lips, he kissed them gently, until her body melted into his, and her arms wrapped around his broad back.

Arabella sighed as he stroked her cheek with the palm of his hand, then moaned as he angled her face, and slipped his tongue inside her parted her lips to deepen the kiss. She was breathless when they broke apart.

“Are you sure you want this?” he asked, looking deep into her eyes.

Arabella’s body ached with her arousal. She knew that this time the passion they shared was real; Stephen desired her, wanted her, needed her. “I’ve never been more sure of anything,” she replied.
