Once Upon a Kiss
“William smiled, thinking of the blaze that raged beyond the castle walls, and his nostrils flared as he sat upon the small cot.
He drew Alyss nearer, despite that she resisted. It mattered not that she did, for he relished this the most.
“M’lord,”
she protested weakly. “I thought...”
“Shush, Alyss,” he demanded, for he knew precisely what it was she thought, and it pleased him not at all. He’d be damned if he’d refrain from partaking of her fleshly pleasures simply because she was now his siste...r’s lady’s maid.
Of course, she was no substitute for Dominique—never had been—and he silently cursed her for that.
Too bad his lovely sister was worth so little without her virtue, for he’d long coveted her within his bed. Too bad, too, that the fool church took such offense with incestus, else wise he would have taken her as his own bride.
It was how it should have been.
Nay, he felt no guilt for his private fancies—if anything, it was resentment he felt, for his little sister was much too lovely for the likes of Graeham d’Lucy.MoreLess
