Diriday is the perfect mount for me.In that low, deep, beastly growl, he replied, It's good to know you'll... ride... as I wish.She flushed. Her toes curled, and her nipples tightened into firm beads that ached to be touched.How had he done it? She'd said the most obvious thing, and he'd made it clear he wasn't talking about the horse.He pried her bare fingers from the rail of the stall and kissed them.I find Lady Gertrude is a good chaperon, he said.Eleanor nodded, stricken dumb by the brief brush of his lips that had sent goose bumps racing up her arms.He placed her hand on his shoulder. So good, you and I haven't had a moment alone together.We're alone now. Unwise to remind him!He crooned with satisfaction, So we are.So we should go now. She tried to step away, to obey her instincts and flee.Mr. Knight maneuvered her so that her back was to the post. Fortunately, Lady Gertrude doesn't ride, and doesn't see that our being together now is a cause of concern.It's not. Eleanor tried to speak firmly, yet she ended on a questioning note.Lady Gertrude has no imagination. In the dim light, his eyes watched her relentlessly, like a falcon watches a fleeing morsel. In slow increments, he extended his free hand and wrapped it around her waist. I find myself wondering about you.When had the situation turned dangerous? I'm easily understood.You're a mystery, one I find myself compelled to solve. I want to know whether you like to kiss with your mouth closed... or open.She gasped in shock.Where you find most pleasure when a man's mouth, mouth, roams your body.She wanted to gasp once more, but the gratification she saw in his face stopped her. Yes, he shocked her. He enjoyed shocking her. But she being so craven. She yearned to take him back, and out of the depths of that need, she found the nerve to reply, You may ask me those questions, and mayhap, if I wish, I'll reply. But don't imagine you yourself can discover the answers.. What a novel idea. A small smile played across his velvet lips. Yes, you could me, of course, but I find I like to make discoveries on my own. Pulling her close against his body, he sealed them together.Discoveries? She could tell him about discoveries. She like being embraced so tightly that her breasts pressed against his chest; and that, and the amusement in his gaze, were reasons enough to leave- at once.With a twist, she freed herself and ran.He sprang after her. Two stalls down, he caught her by the waist. He swung her against the gate and held her hard against him.She stared into his pale blue eyes and with all her heart wished she had some experience in these matters, for she had never felt so helpless in her life.I'm not going to hurt you. His voice was deep and heated. I'm not going to ravish you. I'm just going to kiss you.
