He gently turned her around so she was facing him. Her wide brown gaze caught his and locked there, like an innocent doe’s.

Unable to hold back any longer, he leaned in, covering her stubborn lips with his. A small sound of protest leapt from her throat, but he gently placed a hand on her cheek, and her lips softened, parting for him.

All self-control was unraveling in Seth. He wanted her – all of her – right now. As she pressed her thin body against his, he knew she burned with the same desire.

He reluctantly broke away from the kiss. “Shall we go somewhere more private?” he asked in a husky voice.

With a small smile, Prudence took his hand and led him out of the drawing room and into the entry hall. She pulled him up the stairs. His heart hammered when he realized she was taking him into her private bedroom.

They stepped through her door, and Seth took a moment to take in the room. A window faced the front of the house, cream curtains pulled back to let in the last rays of the setting sun. Piles of books littered her bedside table, the dresser, the vanity.

The four-poster bed was neatly made, at least a dozen pillows taking up half the bed. He felt the blood rush to his cock as he imagined pinning her against the mattress.

Pru closed the door behind them. Her face was again flushed. “Are you sure…?” she started, but before she could finish her sentence, Seth had gathered her up again, this time more impatiently, crushing his lips against hers as he drank her in. A hand wandered further down, and he pressed against her skirts, feeling the supple curve of her behind.

Her breathing became irregular as they kissed, her arms wrapping around his neck. His cock responded and pressed hard against his pants, straining against the fabric.

Seth pushed her until she was pinned against one of her bedposts. He fumbled for the ties at the back of her dress, desperate to unclothe her, to feel the smoothness of her skin.

She didn’t protest as he pulled down the dress, letting it crumple in a heap at her feet. Next, he unlaced the corset, which was no easy task while keeping her mouth busy.

When he finally removed it, he only had her undergarments left. He slipped one sleeve off her shoulder, caressing it as his mouth wandered from her lips to her neck. She threw her head back, giving him complete access. His warm lips traced her skin to her bare shoulder while his hands grasped greedily at her hips, pulling them close to his.

“Goodness,” she gasped. “Seth, this is craziness…”

He managed to pull down the front of her garment, enough for a single breast to emerge, full and pointed from the sudden exposure. Any further words vanished. Wild desire coursed through him, and he latched his mouth on her nipple, his tongue flicking and swirling around the hardened nub.

Pru shuddered in euphoria, a small gasp escaping her throat as he sucked at her breast.

His wet mouth still fastened on her, his right hand wandered, quickly diving under her garments and finding a smooth, long leg. He rubbed his hand up and down her thigh, feeling her quiver with anticipation.

His hand moved up, fingering between her legs. Her hips twisted eagerly as two of his fingers slipped between her silky folds, entering her wet core.

She didn’t hold back the breathless whimper as he moved his fingers inside her, causing a friction he knew would drive her mad. With the hand that wasn’t pleasuring her, he lifted one of her legs, giving him more access.

He disengaged his mouth from her breast, taking a moment to observe her as she clutched the bedpost behindher, her head tilted back, her beautiful eyes half-closed and her mouth hanging open from the sheer thrills of pleasure he was inflicting on her. Her exposed breast shook pleasantly from his quick movements between her legs, gleaming with a light sheen from his sucking.

He couldn’t put it off any longer. Extracting his fingers, he quickly swept her up in his arms and placed her on her bed. She stared up at him, her brown eyes wide, her raven hair spilling onto the pillows. He removed the rest of her garment and tossed it aside.

His erection was almost painful as he surveyed the beautiful body that lay before him. Skin pale as alabaster, full breasts, and a kissable stomach filled his vision.

He removed his shirt, grinning with pride when her mouth parted in awe at his chiseled chest. He straddled her and locked onto her lips once again, both hands now on her breasts, squeezing and caressing them.

Her hands ran up and down his bare back, her fingers creating tantalizing trails along his skin.

They were both panting now, unable to get enough of each other. Seth’s erection could not be ignored any longer. He removed his pants and undergarments, giving his cock sweet release as it stretched out, thick and long.

Pru whimpered when she saw it. “Heavens,” she choked.

Her reaction set him on fire. Pulling up her hips, he used one hand to run up and down the length of his cock, his own touch making him shudder with pleasure. He pressed the head of it between her legs, and with one, quick thrust entered her, penetrating deep inside her.

She cried out, arching back and clutching the sheets with her hands.

She was sotightand slick with want.Her body clenched around his arousal, sending thrills of pleasure throughout his entire body.

With a growl, he thrust his hips, pounding deeper inside. The motion rocked her entire body. Exquisite sounds of shock and pleasure escaped her throat. He leaned forward, propping himself up with his elbows as he moved against her, helping her find the rhythmic pulse that would push them both over the edge.

She clutched onto him like a lifeline as she tightened then cried out, her orgasm blossoming.
