Now, had the dressing of her- and why should he not?- he would put her in reds- rose and scarlet and deep, sensual crimson. Those dark inquisitor's eyes would from a foil of crimson cloth, mysteriou...
I'll never look at you in any way but complete admiration. He stroked her hair soothingly. You will never be a millstone about my neck. Rather you're the sunshine that brightens my day. He swallowed....
A smile flickered across Coral’s face. Have you ever noticed that once you have had a taste of certain sweets—raspberry trifle is my own despair—it is quite impossible not to think, not to want, not t...
But you must be awash in a sea of compliments, my lady. Every gentleman you meet must voice his admiration, his wish to make love to you. And those are only the ones who may voice such thoughts. All a...
She caught his wrist, stilling the hand on her thigh. Her eyes were alittle desperate. What do you mean to do?I'd like to show you my way of making love, he said gently.

Raphael lifted his good hand- it felt uncommonly heavy- and stirred a finger through the jewels until he found the ring. His hand trembled as he lifted the ring from the box. Lock it again and give th...
