“I couldn't accept it then, of course. I wanted to be close to the house. To you.”
He stayed at the stables at Haverston Hall for her?
“You mean…” She looked around at the chamber. “This truly can be ours? Our home?”
He nodded and she laughed, throwing her arms around them and sending them tumbling back on the mattress.
He laughed, as well, and soon they were talking of their dreams and their future together. Their conversation stopped abruptly when her stomach growled between them.
She met his gaze with a sheepish grin. “I did not eat much of a breakfast today.”
“Wait here.” He was suddenly trotting from the room. She heard his steps on the stairs, and soon he was back with her basket.
He rejoined her on the mattress and popped a berry into her mouth. Chewing, she selected a berry for him.
“No, no.” He took the berry from her fingers with a heated look. “This is how I want to eat all my berries in the future.”
Lightly pushing her back down on the mattress, goose bumps broke out over her flesh as he rolled the cool berry over her nipple. She gasped when he crushed the fruit and the juices ran down the sides of her breast.
Sighing, she sank back into the mattress…and into a pleasure she knew would be hers forever.
