But it was also a thousand times worse, because if he had thought his cock was desperate before, it was nothing next to how he felt now, with her lips hungry on his and her hands all over his famished skin.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, she slid her hands lower, digging her nails into his buttocks and pulling him down so he was lying on top of her. He was so startled that he let her do it, and the feeling of Isabella Astley beneath him on a bed, her delicate thighs falling open to cradle his hips, felt so indescribably wonderful that he had to struggle not to spend himself in his trousers.

You\u2019ll have it as often as you need it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He kissed her neck and was reaching down to fumble with the buttons of her borrowed trousers when the sound of someone clearing their throat came from the doorway. \u201cMr.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Book 1: How to Train Your Viscount Book 2: What\u2019s an Earl Gotta Do?

Everyone spoke in hushed whispers about the wickedness that took place in the dark walks of Vauxhall Gardens in a way that made them sound more exciting than dangerous. Illicit rendezvous!
