The Problem with Seduction - By Emma Locke Page 0,95

the sanctions required to build the canal. He also learned that the canal was to cost upward of a quarter million pounds, assuming another lock wasn’t required.

He now knew what a lock was.

On the return trip to Worston, he felt much more optimistic. The first boat was scheduled to travel the canal in a little under a month. If that was successful, regular travel would open thereafter. He could begin to see a return on his investment within a year. By that time, the business with Captain Finn and Elizabeth’s father should have blown over. In the meantime, he could find a suitable house. He would tell Darius there would be no more handouts, for they were both grown men and Con had a new responsibility, to his mistress and son.

It was enough to make him restless through dinner. It was more than enough to send him directly to Elizabeth’s room the moment they were dismissed. She met him in the doorway this time, standing on tiptoe to greet him with a hot, open-mouthed kiss. He exhaled in relief, swept her into his arms and kicked the door closed behind them.

“I take it you were pleased with what you saw,” she said between kisses, her cool hands pressed to both sides of his face. He returned her kisses while his hands roamed her body, cupping her heavy breasts and flicking along the soft skin of her bare arms. His cock pressed incessantly against the fall of his breeches. God, but he was going to burn up before he managed to get her gown off.

And he would have her gown off. This time, they would be naked and damp. Tangled only in her sheets and their bare limbs. He set her away from him slightly and spun her around. He had enough experience to know roughly how these contraptions worked. But once the first button popped, to hell with it, he rent the rest with a firm yank. She yelped, but he was already pushing the dress and her petticoats down and pulling at the strings of her corset.

Finally, finally, he had her naked. She was glorious. Even before her confinement, she’d been a woman with breasts that could make a man weep, but now she was a goddess. Tiny, light blue veins crossed each one, culminating in a rouged nipple swollen into a succulent peak.

He leaned and took one into his mouth, reveling in the feel of it against his tongue, and slid his hand between her thighs. She was already wet for him. With a gentle stroke, her folds parted and she muffled her cry against the top of his head. She felt good and so, so tight. He buried his face between her breasts and drew a breath; thus fortified, he pulled himself away from her just for the time it took to divest himself of his own cloth constraints.

Blissfully, blessedly naked, he pressed himself against her softness. Her gray eyes were dilated and her lips parted just enough so he could see the pink tip of her tongue. Her tongue. He slanted his mouth across hers and delved in, urgent and eager yet measured, sucking on her full bottom lip and tracing her teeth. He wanted her everywhere. To taste her and feel her and—

“Oh, God,” he said as she wrapped her hand around his length. A droplet formed against her belly and he smeared it as he pressed harder into her hand. He opened his eyes and saw her watching him. Arousal leapt through him. His cock grew even harder and his balls pulsed with an ache to spend into her hand.

No.

He started to inch their way to the bed, but she suddenly became immovable. Before he could fully understand her intent, she spun him around and pressed her palms to his chest. Obediently, he sat back onto the bed. She spread her legs around him, opening her folds wide against his cock, and draped her arms over his shoulders. This time, she delved into his mouth. Taking.

He could stand her torturing him no more. He positioned himself at her opening, then pulled her hips forward. She refused to slide onto his cock. Instead she forced his shoulders back onto the mattress. She shimmied over his hips and straddled him. He cried out with satisfaction as her weight fell on top of him, plunging her onto his member.

She leaned over him with both arms braced by his shoulders. His cock pulsed inside her. With her breasts
