“He thought of all the causes he’d thought were worth dying for. Not a one of them meant a thing compared to the life of this woman.

Was this love? Could it be? All he knew was that he could no longer conceive of a future without her.

She was laughter.

She was joy.

And she might die because he’d been too bloody selfish to leave her on the ship.

He’d known it was safer to keep her on board. He’d known it, and still he’d brought her ashore.

He’d wanted to see her smile. No, it was far more selfish than that. He’d wanted to be her hero. He’d wanted her to look at him with worship in her eyes, to think the sun rose and set on his face.

He closed his eyes. He had to make this up to her. He had to protect her.

She wasn’t his to protect, and now she might never be, but he would see her safe.

Even if it was the last thing he did.”

“You, she’d said, when he’d asked what she felt.

You, she’d said.

He wanted more.

You

She considered that for a moment. “Touché.”

“Once I’m back home, never to see you again …” She clasped her hands over her heart and sighed dramatically, as if preparing herself for her final soliloquy. “It will warm my heart to know that somewhere in this big, cruel world, someone is irritating you.”

He stared at her for a moment, stunned into silence, and then he burst into laughter. “Oh, Miss Bridgerton,” he said, getting the words out when he was able, “you have risen to the number one spot.”

She looked over at him with a tipped-up chin and a clever smile. “I do try to excel in all of my endeavors.”

“Se sentía nuevo. El mundo giraba eternamente sobre su eje; eso era algo que entendía. Entonces, ¿por qué parecía que acababa de girar más? Como si la rotación fuese mayor, o como si girara en dirección opuesta. El aire salado era más vigorizante, las estrellas misteriosamente brillantes en su lienzo de tinta. Y el contacto con ella… La ligera curva de su cadera, el calor suave y radiante de su cuerpo… Era como si nunca hubiese tocado a una mujer.
