He sat back and pulled her across the compartment to him, lifting her to straddle her legs wide across his thighs. “What I want is you.” His eyes gleamed like the devil’s own. “Right here.”

“Here?” Instead of the squeak she expected, her question came as a throaty purr. “Like this?”

His hand dove wickedly between her thighs to fondle her heated folds and wear down her resistance by heightening the ache pounding away inside her. “Just like this.”

“But—but we’re in a carriage!” she protested, even as evidence of her desire wetted his oh-so clever fingers as they teased mercilessly against her.

“I know.” He grinned devilishly at her, then leaned up to kiss away the moan threatening at her lips. “We won’t hurt the baby, I promise.”

Her heart softened that even now he was concerned about her unborn child. But to make love in a moving carriage, with her sitting on him like this—she’d never thought it possible, never even considered…She squirmed over his large erection pressing hard against her bottom and instantly became amenable to new considerations.

“Yes,” she whispered and leaned forward to kiss him, gladly willing to do whatever he commanded.

Grey made quick work of unfastening his trousers, then freed himself from the tight fabric and yanked her skirt up high around her waist and out of his way. She’d aroused him to the breaking point, and he needed to possess her. Now.

His hands slipped beneath her to grasp her bare buttocks, and with a soft growl, he yanked her toward him, impaling her on his cock in one swift thrust. He smothered her cry of surprise with his mouth and thrilled at the shudder of wanton pleasure that sped through her at having him inside her, steel-hard and primed to please her.

“Shh,” he warned. His teeth nipped at her earlobe as he rocked her gently against him, grinding his hips up against hers until she’d taken his large cock completely inside her and was fully seated over him. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders as she panted breathlessly, and her body trembled in hot anticipation of the climax to come, one he gleefully looked forward to giving her. “They’ll hear you outside.”

She eased away from him just far enough to look into his eyes as his hands squeezed her buttocks, cupping her in his palms as he raised and lowered her, sliding her tight warmth smoothly up and down his length. Good Lord, how glorious she felt! How wonderfully slick and sweet. How unbelievably luscious with all those little muscles inside her clenching tightly around him. And he knew she enjoyed it, too, because she couldn’t stop the soft mewling sounds that escaped her.

“Ride me, brat.” He pulled her legs up onto the seat on either side of him so that she could balance on her knees over him, then tilted his hips straight up into hers. “Ride me hard.”

As he’d commanded, she moved against him, thrusting and retreating as she galloped over him. The sensation was exquisite. He groaned as she leaned back, dug her fingers into his shoulders for leverage, and pumped him hard and fast with her body, as if his cock were a wicked toy created solely for her to take whatever wanton pleasures she desired. Her hips bucked ferociously over his as she drove toward her release.

“Grey!” A helpless shudder raced through her.

Her body gripped down hard around his cock as she tossed back her head and arched her back. The catch of her breath, the quivering of her thighs against his hips as her tight warmth flexed around him—

His arms grasped around her like steel bands as his mouth clamped hard over hers to swallow the helpless cry as she climaxed. Growling his need, he thrust into her from beneath, his hands at her hips keeping her tight against him, then he exploded inside her with so much intensity that a second cry tore from her lips. She collapsed against him, utterly spent.

He held her there with his arms clasped tightly around her and his limp cock still inside her. Her hot sex quivered tantalizingly around him with each residual wave of pleasure that pulsed through her. He didn’t want to move, preferring to keep her perched right there over him on his lap the way he’d wanted to have her since she so boldly taunted him in the carriage about kissing her. He hadn’t lied to her. He’d not stopped with a taste. Sweet Lucifer, what a meal he’d made of her!

“Grey?” she asked softly.

“Hmm?”

“I win.”

Laughing, he buried his face against her neck. He’d never been happier in his life than he was at that moment.

The little minx had changed him. For the first time, he found himself enjoying not just a woman’s body but also the woman herself. All of her. And he had no idea how he’d be able to let her go once they reached London, when she returned to her family and he left for Spain.

Chapter Eight

Emily paused in the doorway of the inn where they’d stopped for the night. Fellow travelers gathered inside around tables and on the tall-backed settles pulled up close to the massive stone hearth. The room smelled of smoke and ale, but its stone walls were freshly whitewashed, its floors clean, and its lamps brightly lit. Her stomach fluttered as she took it all in. Clean, well lit, safe…and Grey, once again, all to herself.

She sighed. Heaven.

After they had spent themselves in each other’s arms in that wonderfully wicked new game she hoped they’d play again tomorrow, Grey rode for the rest of the afternoon on top of the rig, taking turns at the reins. The silence was just fine with her. It gave her time to finish her sketch of him, to smooth the lines lovingly with her fingertips, and replay in her mind every delicious kiss and caress he’d given her. He didn’t mind that she was with child, desiring her despite that, and he seemed to like it when she took the initiative to please him. So tonight she planned on showing him all the various ways she could do just that.

As if reading her mind, he came up behind her. “Will this place do?”

She nodded. A barn and a pile of hay would have served as long as Grey was with her.

“And it’s safe. Whoever set fire to Snowden couldn’t have followed us here.” He squeezed her elbow to reassure her. “You can rest easy tonight.”

Her lips twitched as she stifled a smile. Resting was the last thing she wanted to do tonight.
