The Duke's Holiday (42 page)

“What is it now?” he groaned, pausing above her, reining in
his desire with a visible effort. His breath was little more than a ragged
pant. His eyes were glazed, his hair stood up on end, and his shirt gaped open,
revealing an expanse of naked, chiseled male torso. He was quite the most
delicious, ridiculous, lovely sight she’d ever seen.

The Duke of Montford was nowhere to be found, and Astrid
couldn’t have been more pleased.

What was it she wanted to say? Oh, yes. “I just thought of
something. We’re in a carriage, and you haven’t cast up your accounts once.”

He grinned and hugged her close. “How could I? You have
cured me, Astrid. Body and soul. I was a wreck of a man before I met you.”

“And now…?”

He laughed and nuzzled her throat. “Now I am an even bigger
wreck. Thank hell. I love you, Astrid Honeywell. Though you may very well drive
me to Bedlam.”

“Then take me with you.”

“Oh, I intend to,” he said, resuming his seduction. “Just
give me a moment, will you?”
