For My Lady's Honor

For My Lady's Honor

'TWAS THE FATE OF WOMEN TO BE AT THE MERCY OF MENBut Lady Alys Delamare, an unwilling sacrifice to her father's ambitions, yearned for a life of her own choosing. And such a life, her rebellious heart proclaimed, included the handsome knight Sir Padrig ap Huw….Thrown together by a stormy tempest, they were drawn to each other–wild and wanton and burning with desire. But Lady Alys was destined for much grander things than a landless knight such as he could ever provide. All he could offer was his protection, his honor–and his passion!

“Show me,”

she said, her whispered demand intense with the maelstrom of feeling whirling through her.

His lips quirked into a teasing smile. “Show you what, milady?” His gaze beckoned her, enticed her to lean closer to him.

Did she have the courage to continue what she’d started? A simple glance at Padrig’s face was all the answer she needed.

“Show me how to kiss, if you please,” she said, in the haughtiest tone she could contrive—though she mitigated that offense with a smile.

“There are many kinds of kisses.” He nuzzled her cheek, then touched his lips to her ear. “You’ve only to tell me what you want, milady,” he whispered. “I am yours to command.”

Unfamiliar desires engulfed her; her body demanded something, but she’d little notion precisely what it was she wanted. What she needed.

All at once the answer came to her. She wanted more...!
