The Naked Duke Quotes

“Sarah gasped and opened her eyes. Such wanton thoughts! James bent his head, his hands urging her even closer to his firm body. His lips were on level with her eyes. If she turned her head, if she leaned ever so slightly toward him, she would feel them on her temple. She felt his breath against her cheek as he counted. “One, two, three. One, two, three.” A strange, drenching heat pooled low in her stomach. “Follow me, love,” he whispered, his words stirring the tendrils of hair by her ears. “Come with me.” She did. She forgot about her feet. She forgot the music room, Robbie and Lizzie, and the others. She gave herself up to James, let her body move with his. When the music stopped, it took her more than a moment to come back to herself. “Well, Lady Amanda,” she heard Robbie say, “I do believe James and Sarah just showed us why the waltz is such a dangerous dance.”
