He guided her hand in shorter, harder strokes.God, he was going to come.There was no stopping it.
Thank God his silk trousers were black.
When he came, he couldn’t control himself.
“Christ,” he stuttered out.
The pleasure throttled through him with even more intensity, because he was allowed to express so little of it.He looked down at his dinner plate as he filled his smalls with his seed.
“Exactly correct!”Mr.Dermott said next to him, completely oblivious.
Malcolm closed his eyes.
Then he opened them.
With a trembling hand, he took a sip of wine, only just able to swallow.
She had completely undone him.
He was depraved, mad, for her.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Scarlett could notbelieve that they had donethat.
At the supper table.At a ball.Surrounded by so manypeople.
And it had left her so hot and breathless that she had to excuse herself.
Instead of finding the retiring room, though, she kept walking away from the ballroom.Her breath was coming fast and shallow, and she felt a torturing heaviness in her core.
It had been a thrill to tantalize him in such a forbidden way, while others unknowingly watched.Her hand on his cock had been secret and completely depraved, and yet somehow public.
She remembered that there was a library at the far end of the house, and so she headed there for refuge.She hoped it was empty now.When she reached it, however, the door was closed.She put her ear to it and heard movement from within.
She couldn’t bear to encounter anyone at present.
In desperation, she turned, trying to find someplace else where she could just bealoneand rest for a moment.
When she whirled around, Malcolm was standing before her.
He had followed her.
It took everything in her not to run to him and melt into his arms.All she wanted was his touch.
“You followed me,” she said dumbly.
He advanced on her.“Do you think you can so utterly destroy me, master me so effectively, and I won’t come and find you afterward, Scarlett?”
Despite his recent release, he looked ravenous.
“If I am going to be so thoroughly ruined by you,” he continued, “then I need to ruin you in turn.”He reached down and pressed the pad of his thumb to her bottom lip.“And you look like you need it, darling.Like you are aching for it.”
All she could do was gasp in response.But when she did so, his thumb sank into her mouth, and she found herself sucking inward.
His eyes went absolutely molten.She had to think that he was hard for her again.
She gave his thumb another suck and couldn’t stop herself from whimpering as she did so.
