…Heather stood to face him, her hand still in his. “I am made of sterner stuff than most ladies.”
“I see that. There is, perhaps, one solution to this dilemma. I could claim you as my share-and-a-half from the Sea Rover.” He let go of her hands and pulled her to him, one arm around her waist. His other hand grabbed hold of her hair and tugged her head back. She looked up into his face and saw that his eyes were green flecked with gold. They glittered with anger and desire.
Her hands were pressed to his warm chest and her stomach against his groin. She felt his hard shaft and a strange warmth crept over her body. It spoke of anticipation and need.
“Your share-and-a-half? What does that mean?”
“When a ship is captured, the quartermaster catalogs the goods on board, then it is divided evenly among the crew. The captain receives a share-and-a-half. You would be mine.”
He is the one. The words rang through her mind.
“What would you do with me?” she asked, her voice suddenly husky.
“I know what I’d like to do,” he said, as his mouth descended.
His lips touched hers, lightly at first, then with more insistence. She waited for the revulsion, but it never came. Instead, a languorous warmth spread through her.
“Open your mouth,” he murmured against her lips.
“Why?” she asked, just before his mouth closed on her lower lip, sucking on it gently. She gave herself up to his expert kisses, not even objecting when his tongue stole inside her mouth.
Her hands roamed over his chest, enjoying the feel of warm skin and firm muscle. When her fingers grazed one flat male nipple, he groaned low in his throat. Ah, she had found one way to pleasure him. Her life might depend on that ability. She brushed his nipples with the pads of her fingers, feeling the tips harden, then lightly scored her nails over them.
He sucked in a breath and broke the kiss. “Tease me, will you?”
She smiled and boldly rubbed his nipples again. Even through her sensual haze, she was aware her future might depend on pleasing this man, in any way possible. Pleasure led to control, as she had learned from Kitty.
She slid her arms up his chest and pulled his head to hers for another kiss. He responded with an ardor that stole her breath away. His lips were firm and moist, his flesh hard and smooth. Touching him, kissing him, was a pleasure. This was so unlike what she’d experienced on her wedding night, and she now knew how badly she’d been cheated...
