Romancing Lady Stone (A School of Gallantry Novella) by Delilah Marvelle Page B

you have a lover back in London?”
    This conversation had officially turned wild. “No. I have never taken a lover.”
    He hesitated, then leaned in and brushed her hair away from her neck. “Something tells me you are about to.”
    Those husky words and those fingers made her entire world sway.
    His hand drifted down toward her breast. He slipped his hand beneath the linen, his calloused fingers grazing and roughing her hardening nipple. “Are you going to stop me?” His voice was ragged. Uneven.
    She gripped the edge of the tick harder. “No,” she choked out. There was no denying she wanted this. She wanted him.
    He pressed his trouser clad hips into her backside hard, his stiff cock now digging into the lower curve of her back. He slowly ground into her.
    She couldn’t breathe. The heat of his erection penetrated the linen of the shirt she was wearing. She could feel wetness in between her own thighs.
    His fingers dug into her waist as the heat of his mouth lingered closer against her ear. “Remove everything,” he rasped. “And if you say no to me, I am getting out of this damn bed and sleeping in that chair for two days.”
    She was too overwhelmed by her own desire to think anymore. She sat up and scrambled to yank off the linen shirt from her body to ensure there was no going back. Whipping it aside, she turned toward him and blindly grabbed his unshaven face, prickling her fingers. She pressed her nakedness against his warmth.
    His chest unevenly rose and fell against hers in the darkness. His hot, wet tongue traced her lips. “Admit it. You wanted me all along.”
    Her eyes closed in disbelief and slipped into his world. “I did. God, yes, I did.”
    “I knew it.” His tongue parted her lips as his entire mouth grazed hers slowly and masterfully, before moving more urgently against hers. He angled his mouth against hers and pressed down harder until her lips stung and were forced to open wider against the demand of that rolling tongue that probed even deeper into her mouth.
    Her fingers dug into him and his fingers dug into her as they feverishly kissed.
    The savage need to climax was mutual. It pulsed from their skin.
    She frantically smoothed her hands against his velvet, hard-muscled heat.
    He shifted on top of her, pushing her down onto the narrow mattress. The quick movement of his fingers between them announced he had released the last button on his trousers. He captured her mouth again, tonguing her heatedly and positioned himself above her, shoving her legs wide open. He guided his cock toward her opening, the muscles in his arms and in his broad back tense against her roaming hands.
    His length penetrated her in a single, violent thrust that slammed her into the mattress.
    She gasped in complete disbelief of what she was doing.
    Holding his rigid heat deep inside her, he released her mouth. “Do you need me to refrain and go slow? Or can I…how do I say…get to it?”
    She knew the answer to that one. “Get to it.”
    He kissed her lips for a lingering moment, slowly trailing his mouth down to her chin, then knelt and yanked her legs up onto his broad shoulders.
    Her heart skipped.
    Dragging both hands tightly up her legs, he heatedly pounded into her, banging them and the bed hard into the wall.
    It wasn’t the sort of sex she’d ever had with her husband.
    Each thrust caused her body to tense and ache in a way she desperately needed. Each hard thrust caused the bed to shift.
    He growled something in Russian, penetrating her again and again with raw intensity.
    Her heartbeat throbbed in her ears as her core tightened against each rhythmic push. She welcomed every moment of it between uneven, ragged breaths, unable to believe any of this was real.
    He slowed and lowered her legs back down onto the mattress.
    She wrapped her arms around him, waiting for more. Needing more.
    His fingers dug into her wet hair. “I cannot believe you are allowing this.” He jerked his thick cock in and out
