\u201cPerhaps then you would do well to let me speak, my lord?\u201d Summer teased. She caught his hand, pressing a kiss into his palm. \u201cI spent my days mostly reading, though my brother coaxed me out to practise archery while the weather was fine. Your books were so welcome, for I feared I\u2019d go mad thinking of you.\u201d She looked up at him, biting her lip.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feared my memories deceived me,\u201d she whispered. \u201cHow could a man like you see so much in me? You, my lord, are brother to the King. Your words fall sweet on my ears now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMy lord,\u201d Summer gasped, drowning in his kisses, \u201cHumphrey, stop, please stop.\u201d She couldn\u2019t stop herself kissing him back, pressing close to him, body yearning into his arms. \u201cHumphrey, slow down.\u201d\u00a0It wasn\u2019t that she didn\u2019t want him, in the least, but being ravished up against a wall with haste was not her idea of a good time. She wanted the luxury of exploration, to tease and play and experiment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSlow down, as stop and wait for you?\u201d<\/em> he asked, looking at her. \u201cIf you wish me to I would, tho I tell you it would be hard\u2026 but I would try my best.\u201d<\/em> He kissed her again, deeply, \u201cor do you mean to take this to a more convenient place?\u201d<\/em> he murmured. \u201cThat is certainly much easier to arrange.\u201d<\/em> He kissed her, pulling her close once more, holding her tightly pressed against his body. \u201cAnything you want, my love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She pulled away from his insistent kisses. “I wish to take my time with you, my lord. Not in haste, but in leisure.” Stretching up to his ear, she murmured, “This is my demand for your long absence. I’ll not be taken like the wenches you tumble in alehouse and hayloft, but as the lady you treasure.” Summer slipped out of his arms deftly, leaving only her fingertips in his. “Do those pretty words mean anything, my lord? I’ll have you prove it so.” Very deliberately, she lowered her eyelashes, looking up at him through them. “Come, are there yet no pillows we might lie on, since you have returned?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
