The Marriage Bed
“And he had to think. He had to figure out what his next move should be.He stared down into his plate and idly pushed kidneys and bacon around with his fork. If he'd been thinking at all last night, which was doubtful, it had been about taking advantage of the blessed opportunity he'd been given as quickly as possible. He probably should have gone more slowly— wooed, coaxed, eased her into her bedroom upstairs. But he hadn't. And then he had compounded the problem by getting autocratic and remin...ding her that the three weeks were up. If she didn't come with him today, he'd have to go to the House, for he could not back down. Even then, when they were living together, he would still have to do some serious wooing to get her into bed.He dropped his fork into his plate with an exasperated oath. No man should have to put up with this from his wife. Most other men in his situation would drag her into the marriage bed and get on with it. But what other men would do didn't help him. He wasn't that sort of fellow, never had been.Christ.MoreLess
