The thrilling sequel to “The Dark Prince’s Chosen Bride.” “We’ve wandered quite far away from the party, Lady Electra. We can head back,if you wish,”Beck said, the spot where his hand gingerly met her arm thrumming with warmth and longing. Though he was silent beside her,his mind was screaming at him to hold her,feel her. To stop with the courtly,appropriate touches and let his hands explore the silken ink of her hair and black stripe that patterned her flesh.To forget that she was a Lady and he was a royal valet and press their bodies against each other until there was no space between their skin. But she hadn’t asked for his touch or his wants, so his hand stayed where it was while his mind danced with possibilities. “Mr.Reed,” her smoky voice carried on the cold winter air, “Not even the darkness of the night or the shadow of the forest’s edge can hide the lustful gleam in your eyes.” Electra couldn’t see the flush of his cheeks, but felt him tense. A sigh escaped his wide,thin mouth. “I’m a hot-blooded man, my Lady, and you are a beautiful woman. I should have concealed my thoughts. If I’ve made you uncomfortable,I’m terribly sorry.” “I never said you should conceal your thoughts ,Beckett.” Her black eyes seemed to spark in the moonlight. “As a matter of fact, I think I would quite enjoy you making me…uncomfortable.” He froze for a beat. “You would? I should?” Electra didn’t reply. She simply moved Beck’s hand to the spot on her back where her bare skin was aching to be caressed. “Yes,”she whispered. There was no tease or flirtation in her voice, only invitation. “Kiss me under the solstice moon,Mr.Reed, and make me uncomfortable in all of the best ways.”
