To Seduce a Sinner

He blinked. “That’s, ah . . .”

He seemed to lose his train of thought, possibly because she’d started unbuttoning his waistcoat. She concentrated on the brass buttons and the slitted holes, aware that her breathing had quickened with the temptation of his proximity. An awful thought intruded: How many other women had had the privilege of undressing him?

He cleared his throat. “Uh, kind of you.”

“Is it?” Had he been with another woman tonight? He was a man of known appetites.

She had no idea where he went in the evenings. Her fingers fumbled on that last thought, and she finally identified the emotion flooding her brain: jealousy. She was completely unprepared for it. She’d known before they’d married who he was—
what
he was. She believed she would be content with whatever small part of himself he would share with her. The other women, when they came, she would simply ignore.

But now she found she simply couldn’t. She wanted him. All of him.
