If he lost
control, he doubted he’d ever get it back. He’d not have the wherewithal to
discover Dervin, to continue to prove Darton’s innocence. To continue his
search for her.
Now he returned
to his window and looked over the gardens. Despite the restraint he struggled
to maintain, he could hear Elizabeth’s
soft laugh, how it turned to gasps of pleasures when they made love. The feel
of her skin beneath his fingertips when he touched her, the press of her body
against his.
And try as he
might, Callum could not block out her cries of release when she climaxed.
Callum didn’t
lash out against the window panes but struggled to not drown in the sea of
emotion threatening to overwhelm him.
He’d met Elizabeth in Bath and had never
enjoyed another’s company as he had hers. Before she left to return to her
father’s house in London,
Callum had vowed to marry her. He hadn’t much cared what his father thought of
the match, but Elizabeth
was from a prosperous family, well connected and respected. That had been
enough.
Yes, it had been
enough, for both his father and Elizabeth’s. The families had aligned well, and
the excitement over the impending nuptials had been the talk of the ton.
Until that one damnable day. That day lived in his memory as clearly as
anything had.
Callum had just
finished redressing Elizabeth,
and he remembered how they’d laughed over his newfound proficiency with women’s
clothing. They’d shared an afternoon of pleasure before Callum had needed to
leave to meet with several business interests and review the estate books. The
maid had rushed into the room, not even bothering to knock.
Look for the box set with The Escape (m/m/f), The Masque (m/m/f), Aycliff's Vow (m/f), and Devil's Pawn (m/m) on April 7!
