Throne of Secrets (Prince of Sin, #2)

by Kerri Maniscalco

“What’s got you the most curious?” He scanned me again and I couldn’t help but feel like he was memorizing every detail. “I wonder why you’re here with me.” “Where else should I be?” “Curled up in bed with someone who adores you, who’d never be foolish enough to let you go. Who’d spend his days discovering details that bring you pleasure.” I felt my cheeks warm pleasantly. “You’re quite the flirt.” His mouth twisted into an impish grin. “I also spend an unfortunate amount of time wondering what you look like, the color of your hair, the shade of your eyes. I want to know who you are, what occupies your days.” He paused, as if waiting to see if I would offer any information up. Clever, clever male. I gave him a coy smile of my own. “You’ll need to try much harder to wrangle secrets from me.” “Very well, Lady F.” His playful grin turned downright sinful. “I must confess, I spend the most time thinking about what it’ll feel like to slide that pretty costume off and worship every inch of you. I dream about the silkiness of your skin, the quiver of your thighs. You’ve got me in a viselike grip and I’m eager to return the favor.”
