She wrapped her legs around his waist and used every part of herself to pull him into her. Her hands gripped his hips and backside, urging him to drive hard into her. The feel of her around him was bliss. He moved onto the bed, pushing them farther onto the mattress.
Arching up, she cried out his name. He vaguely wondered if they were being too loud, but he was having a hard time with rational thought. Either way, he didn’t care. He let go, thrusting into her with deep strokes as her body quivered around him. Feeling she was close, he ground down against her sex. She dug her heels into his backside and let out a keening cry.
Dougal claimed her mouth, both to own her completely and to quiet her passion. The last thing they needed was someone coming to see what ailed her.
Her muscles clenched around him as she came. Dougal’s balls tightened, and he knew his orgasm was imminent. Now was the time to pull away from her to prevent a child.
But her legs clamped tighter around him, and she held him close, kissing him with a feverish need that made him senseless. His orgasm raced over him with a startling ferocity. He found her breast and squeezed, his body shuddering with its release.
Silently swearing, his wits returned, and he rolled away from her, his cock twitching as his seed poured forth, slicking his abdomen and hip. He grasped himself and worked through the finish.
“I wish you didn’t have to leave,” she rasped between breaths. “I wasn’t quite done.”
He hated that. Rolling back, he put his hand on her sex and found that she was already there. He pushed two fingers into her and pumped as her hips moved. She moaned long and deep as she contracted around him once more.
He drew her nipple into his mouth and sucked. Then he withdrew and blew over her heated flesh as her movements began to calm. “I thought you already came.”
“I did. But there was another one right after.”
“You are absolutely astonishing.” He’d never encountered such an inquisitive and eager partner. She met him with every touch and thrust. He kissed her long and deep, moved to an almost unimaginable place by her generosity and curiosity.
She rolled toward him so that they faced each other. “Please tell me you aren’t leaving right away.”
“Not right away, but soon. It was just after two when I came in downstairs. What time do the maids wake?”
“Before five. We have a little time.” She snuggled closer to him, putting her arm around his waist and tucking her head beneath his chin.
He kissed her forehead, his lips lingering against her flesh as he trailed down to her temple. “I missed this.”
“I keep thinking we should have done this on the first night in Dorset instead of waiting until the last.”
“I won’t say it didn’t occur to me,” he said with a smile.
She tipped her head back to look at him. “Really?”
He looked into her familiar eyes. “I’ve been attracted to you since you touched me in Lucien’s study.”
Grinning, she brought her hand up to his chest and stroked her palm over him. “It’s been much longer for me, I think. If I’m honest, my interest was sparked four years ago when you danced with me.”
He leaned his head back against the pillow and groaned. “I hate that I can’t remember that.”
“It’s all right. I take enough pleasure in it for the both of us.”
Her words thrilled him. Four years ago. What about four years from now? The thoughts that had been swirling in his mind for days finally coalesced into something real, somethinggood.
“Our partnership was very successful, wouldn’t you say?”
She nodded. “I would. I don’t think I could have done any of it without you.”
He tipped his head down to look at her once more. “Then let’s not allow it to end.”
Her gaze snapped to his. “But you’re leaving the Foreign Office.”
“Left.I’ve told them Dorset was my last mission. I have to return home. My father and the estate need me.” He took a breath. “And I need a partner. A wife.” He cupped her head and caressed her cheek with his thumb. “I can give you the independence you crave. Yes, you’d be my viscountess, but if you want to work for the Foreign Office, I’ll support you. I’ll support you in anything you want.”
She stared at him, the pleats between her eyes more pronounced than ever. “You want me to be your wife?”
“Think of the adventures we will have. You said you wanted to see Scotland.”
