He was about to inquire into Carina's whereabouts when
she emerged at the top of the stairs. She paused.
Uncertainty flickered across her face. For a moment he
thought she was going to fade back into the shadows of the
upper floors. But she took a deep breath, squared her
shoulders, and stepped off the landing.
He inhaled a ragged breath at the sight of her. Her
dress accentuated the slight swing of her hips while the
tight bodice molded perfectly to the swell of her breasts.
With each step as she descended, a slow burn heated his
blood, flooding hot desire straight to his groin. She
shimmered in the soft light spilling from the room—a
light acting as a path for her to follow, illuminating her
way...to him.
She entered with her head bowed and lowered into a deep
curtsy. "Your Majesty."
He extended his hand and tried to keep his fingers from
twitching in anticipation of her touch. She hesitated, and
had yet to look him in the eyes. But she could not deny
him, not without causing insult, so he waited. His body
trembled when her hand slipped into his.
For the second time today, he couldn't let her go. She
had entered the room on a whisper, but swept across his
senses like a winter storm.
As she looked down, he resisted the urge to brush his
thumb across the soft curve of her lips. She was a feast
for his eyes to devour. He wanted to tell her that she
looked stunning, but his voice failed him and he could only
mutter her name in a gravelly, scrape of sound.
