‘This is what you will do in London,’ she said. ‘You will have affairs before you settle. So why not do this now with me?’
She was still trying to persuade him, but he no longer needed to be persuaded.
His fingers worked more steadily as he watched what he did, learning about the responses of her body, as she arched her back and her breasts rocked.
Weeks ago, he had hoped to see her laugh and dance… now this. He could never have imagined enjoying this ecstasy with her.
He doubled over and licked between her legs, his hands holding her thighs. They were made of the softest flesh, but the flesh between her legs was satin and velvet combined.
She touched herself, her fingertips playing near his tongue. He kissed one of her fingers, then licked her, then sucked her fingertip.

Caro knew she had begged outrageously. She was behaving so badly she did not know herself, acting as though she had no pride. But she had longed to feel like this for many years.
His dark eyes shone.
The lightning flashed outside; it was a while before the rumble of thunder followed.
She saw in his eyes the moment he made the decision to give in, the hunger and desire in his expression as his fingers slid out of her, leaving her so close to the little death and yet unfulfilled. His fingers ran along her inner thigh until they reached her stocking top, leaving a trail of her moisture.
He held the edges of the narrow bed beside her shoulders, leaned down and kissed her, his tongue slipping into her mouth then withdrawing. Then his lips brushed over hers as he hovered above her. He kissed the edge of her lips, her cheek and then her neck. ‘You are beautiful,’ he said.
He had no need to say it. His touch and his eyes said it over and over again. Rob’s physical expression spoke of utter adoration.
She pressed the heels of her boots into the bed, raising her hips and encouraging him to progress. She refused to feel ashamed. This was a physical moment of escape to ecstasy they would both enjoy. She licked her dry lips.
He bit her shoulder, gently.
Her body arched as physical, sexual, longing spiralled through her.
‘What will happen when I visit here next?’She had no idea but she would cherish this moment and recall it each time she saw this endearing man.
‘Please, come into me,’ she begged out loud.
Rob’s mind was a dense fog of emotions and his blood heavy in his arteries and veins, as his need thickened like the air before the lightning storm.
He appreciated everything, every salty taste of her skin, the moist silk between her thighs, the sounds of her whimpers of pleasure, and her scent. It was not only lust that urged him on – respect, admiration and love, perhaps, they all merged into one desire.
But love was a foolish thing to feel; this could be nothing more than today.
‘You will have affairs before you settle. So why not do this now with me?’ He never thought about setting up an intrigue with a woman. That, this too, was immoral. A long-term affair might damage his political aims, yet he trusted Caro; no one would know about this but them.
The muscles in her thighs shivered, as she reached between their bodies and touched herself, gathering moisture on a fingertip that she brushed on to the tip of his erection.
She smiled her seduction.
Lust made him insane. He looked down and watched as he entered her body. His first invasion was shallow, then he withdrew and pressed a little deeper, learning. Her thighs lifted to embrace the sides of his.
The air between them was as humid as it had been before the storm.
If I do something wrong, will she think me gauche?
His heartbeat throbbed in his head and his groin as he savoured the feeling of being inside her.
He would never be able to ride through John’s park without thinking of this.
‘Caro, I will apologise now.’ But saying that was not enough, this was not a kiss. ‘There will be no going back, if you regret, will you forgive me?’
