Page 67 of Her Seven Nights with the Duke

Nora looked between them and then at Samuel, who nodded. “If you truly wish to go with her, I would be more than willing to help with everything.”

Her mother smiled. “Truly? I wouldn’t want to be a burden.”

Nora shook her hands. “Of course not. He is my brother, after all, and I do not mind taking care of himYou are never a burden.”

“Nora!”Nora.”

Selina turned around with a smile as her friends hurried towards her.

“Oh, Nora, it was such a beautiful ceremony, and you look so beautiful in your dress. I could not stop crying,” Selina said, wrapping her arms around Nora in a hug.

Nora giggled. “Thank you, Selina. I’m glad you were both able to join me.”

“We wouldn’t have missed it for anything,” Thalia said, smiling at her as she hugged her too.

“It was indeed a beautiful wedding. I don’t believe I’ve been so happy to see two people wed,” Benedict said. “Pleased to meet the friends of the new Duchess.”

Selina smiled, placing her hand in his for a kiss. “I’m Lady Selina, and this is my sister, Lady Thalia.”

“Lady Selina, Lady Thalia. I don’t believe I will have any rest if I do not tell you how beautiful you both are.”

Selina giggled, turning to her sister, who glowered.

Nora hid her smile. Thalia had always been protective over her sister when it came to men like Benedict. Men with sugarcoated tongues who were so quick to dole out compliments and only really cared for what they stood to gain.

Benedict was as much a rake as they came, and Thalia would never let Selina come near him if there was anything she could do about it.

“I’m certain it will not be so difficult for you to live with yourself if you do not compliment us, Your Grace,” Thalia said, an eyebrow raised as she looked him over with a sarcastic smile on her face.

Selina softly jabbed her in the ribs, causing Thalia to glare at her.

“Do not listen to my sister, Your Grace. She does come off as cold sometimes, but I assure you she isn’t,” she said with a soft smile that contradicted Thalia’s.

Nora giggled at something Samuel said as they retired for the night. She had looked forward to having him to herself, where they could just be who they were without having to worry about anyone but themselves.

“So, it would seem that we will be having our seven nights, after all,” Samuel said, a wry smile on his lips as he advanced towards her almost predatorily.

“Ah, but,Your Grace, we will be having more than seven nights together. We will have nights for as long as we both shall live.

“I think I like how that sounds,” he said, lifting her into his arms as she wrapped her legs around him.

She lowered her head to kiss him as he carried her up the stairs to their bedroom.

“Careful, love. We wouldn’t want to end up with broken necks only hours into our marriage,” he said, spanking her ass and making her giggle.

She laughed as he hurried to the room, dropping her on the bed. He jumped in beside her, and climbed atop her, supporting himself on his hands and knees. She kissed him softly as his hands wandered up and down the length of her body, pulling and tugging at her clothes until she lay naked on the bed.

She stayed her hands before she could cover herself up, even as her body turned a shade of red. Samuel kissed a trail from her neck to her breasts, sucking her nipples into his mouth, one after the other. He smirked as her body arched off the bed.

“I’ve dreamed of worshipping all of you,” he said, kissing down to the small of her waist and the dip of her navel.

She writhed on the bed as he kissed even lower, parting her red curls with his hands. He breathed her in and licked as she groaned under his ministrations.

“Oh, Samuel,” she groaned, wrapping her hands around his head, the memory of the last time they were together like this igniting her pleasure and searing her skin.

“I’ve touched myself as I thought of you. Just like you showed me,” she said, moving his head away as she played with her clit, arching her back as she rubbed the swollen nub.

Samuel groaned. “I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a more beautiful sight.”
