80 His Lady MistressEyes still tightly closed, she hesitated a moment, then drewa deep breath and obeyed. Never had she been so aware ofher underclothes. Her skin shivered into life, conscious ofevery seam, the position of every carefully sewn patch.‘Untie your petticoat.’ Abrupt and harsh, his voice frozeher fingers and she struggled with the tie, but at last it wasdone. Yet she hesitated, clutching it in place. She couldn’tquite believe that she had stripped off her dress at a man’scommand and was about to remove her underwear.‘Let it go.’She opened her eyes slowly. He had stripped completelyand lay propped on one elbow. At least she assumed he hadstripped completely. She gulped. He had the bedclothespulled up to his waist and she couldn’t imagine that he hadhis evening breeches on. His eyes were on her, hot and intent.And there were his breeches on the floor.Oh, dear God. What had she agreed to?‘Let it go,’ he repeated.You have agreed to be his mistress. In a moment you willlie in that bed with him and become his.Shaking, she released her grip and felt the petticoat slidedown her legs to pool around her feet. Her chemise was next.Taking a deep breath, she reached for the drawstring...‘No. I’ll deal with that.’Swallowing she met his gaze. ‘But...’‘Come to me now.’The space between them gaped. She had no idea how hertrembling legs would get her there, but she was certain thegap was not nearly wide enough. Or much too wide. She shuther eyes again. At least she still had her chemise.Wildly aware of soft carpet cushioning her cold, bare feet,she went to him. One momentous step at a time. Until herthighs hit the bed. A large warm hand touched her, curvedover the soft skin of her hip, shaping it, learning it. She stoodand shivered under the touch of his caress. Then she felt the
Elizabeth Rolls81hand slide over her bottom, drawing her inexorably closer,until, to avoid falling on to the bed, she knelt on it.‘Open your eyes again, my darling,’ he whispered. ‘Don’thide from me. Come. Trust me.’ His hand continued tostroke, teasing her to life, demanding nothing.Trust me.Slowly she opened her eyes and looked into his.
