The Earl Takes All (2016)
“Tonight was the night that he told her the truth. While he watched her sip her wine as she waited for the next course to be served, he knew he had to tell her. He’d delayed long enough.
It had been a little over three weeks since Christmas, since their guests had departed. Their nights had become filled with heated kisses and exploring hands. His nights had become filled with frustration. He wanted her with a desperation he’d never known. Wanted to unveil her completely, wanted to worship her from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.
Instead he dove into the pork and tried to turn his thoughts elsewhere. “I thought I might go riding tomorrow if the rain stops.” It had started just before twilight. Hard, heavy, and chilled.
“To see the tenants?”
“No, just for pleasure. Perhaps you’d like to come with.”
He could tell her then. No, he had to tell her tonight.
