?”
Myra turned to ward him. The light hit the light - blue hue of his eyes so perfectly that it appeared stars formed with in their depths. It distracted her and she forgot what she wanted to say. She turned away, but with the tip of h is finger under her chin, he steered her face back and she met his challenging stare.
“Com ing to the colonies was hard, ” she continued , once she remembered what she wanted to say. “Thinking of another life far removed from what is offered here m akes it often times easier. Certainly you can understand that.”
He took her hand and p laced it into his palm . She felt his warmth travel from her fingertips and radiate throughout her body. When Seth stood, he brought her up with him and pulled her against the hard expanse of his body. Like a blanket of rain, she melded against hi s manly curves.
“I’m glad you aren’t that woman as rumor h as it , Myra , ” h e whispered in her ear. “ If true , surely I’d have never made your acquaintance.”
Speech wasn’t easily found . F or that matter, she couldn’t find her voice even if a thought emerged . The aroma of sweet tobacco and manly secretion s mix ed in the air and intoxicated her senses . The combination made clear thinking difficult . He wrapped his arms around her in a firm embrace. His lips claimed hers in a slow, gentle rhythm. At first, a mere feathery touch, a bare caress of his lips against her s . He then edged her mouth open with the pressure of his thumb. His tongue swirled and it enticed her in to joining him. Not until that moment had she ever felt anything so powerful or explosive. Her knees weakened, and her head fell back with exhausted pleasure. With her neck exposed, his lips traveled the soft tuft s of her neck, and he suckled with tender brushes of his tongue. His breath labored. A trail of kisses covered from the top of her exposed cleavage until his lips moved behind her ear. Moans of pleasure and surprise escaped her until he hushed her moans and captured her final murmur with his mouth.
Tis wrong ! She shouldn’t offer herself so freely, so openly , but she couldn’t resist him. With all her heart, she love d him. She’ d known it for a while, and although they can’t be together, she would remember their time there , beneath the trees, their first and possibly only kiss . It would be enough, she convinced herself.
It ha d to be enough.
Myra raised her arms and held onto him. Her fingers glided through his blond waves and she found excitement and power with his groan s of pleasure as she kissed him . She slid her hands down on to his chest and felt his powerful m uscles beneath his white cotton shirt. As his hands explored her mounds , she grew bold er and explored him as well. Her sense s hadn’t ever been so heightened , and never ha d she felt equally in peril as she did in safety.
“We cannot do this,” Seth said , and he gently pushed her at arm ’ s length away . He held onto her shoulders and she felt him tense . He squeezed her tightly.
“ But, ” she began, and stopped herself. She wanted him , but more so, she wanted him to want her , too . She couldn’t deny that their closeness felt wrong , morally and lawfully , but by God, she didn’t care.
“We can’t go any further. I shouldn’t have taken such liberties, Myra . I apologize .” His voice came on a husky , ragged whisper. He turned away from her , but she saw that pleasure still labored his breathing.
“Make love to me, Seth,” she whispered. The words left her mouth before she realized what she had said, but she didn’t care. His to uches filled the emptiness she had felt since she le ft England . She never thought her sadness and loneliness could be healed by his affections, but the pangs of despair that brought her daily tears had been replaced by joy . She placed her hand on his shoulder and leaned her
