have
to ask. Anything, Liv . As long as I can do the same to you. Share everything. Hold
nothing back.” He moved quicker; they both were panting.
    Olivia screamed. Her
climax nearly tore her in two. His erotic words. His
touch, the feel of him filling and stretching her. Tears poured down her cheeks
from the sensations and emotions overwhelming her. Gideon growled, and his hot
cum splashed her deep. She reached back and grabbed his hip, pulling him in
tighter, and rode the wave of his climax.
    His arms encircled her.
“I love you, Liv .”
    She fell asleep in his
embrace.
     
     

 
    Chapter Ten
     
    “ Your Lordship!”
    A rapid pounding at the
door roused Olivia from a deep and satisfying sleep. Her naked body was wrapped
around Gideon. He lifted his head from the pillow.
    “What is it, Hobson?”
    “You said to wake you at
eight o’clock, My Lord. It is that time, now. The staff needs to finish the
packing of your trunks,” Hobson stated through the closed door.
    Gideon threw back the
sheet that barely covered their nakedness. He stood, and Olivia marveled again
at the physical splendor of the man. May she never tire of her admiration. He ran his hands through his hair and stepped on
the tray lying on the floor. He cursed as empty plates and stripped chicken
bones skittered across the carpet.
    Olivia giggled. During
their bouts of lovemaking, they managed to eat the food left on the tray
outside their door at various times throughout the night.
    “Very well, Hobson. Give
us thirty minutes and return.”
    Hobson murmured an
affirmative and moved off. Gideon turned to face her.
    “As tempted as I am to
fall on you as a ravening beast, it is time for us to prepare for our
departure. Rise and shine, my love.”
    “This is really
happening? We are to be married?”
    Gideon leaned in toward
her, his fists on either side of her on the bed.
    “Most definitely. You are mine, I am yours. Friends,
lovers and partners. All of it. As I promised.” He kissed her thoroughly. Both of them
started to moan. He pulled back. He motioned to his cock, which had begun to
thicken. “You see? Just one taste of your lips and I want you.”
    He grasped her hand and
pulled her from the warmth of the bed.
    “Come, I will help you
dress. Later tonight we will have time for a leisurely bath. For now, it is
more important we are underway.”
    Barely fifteen minutes
had passed when frantic knocking on the bedroom door halted them in their preparations.
    “My Lord, forgive me for
disturbing you, but His Grace, your father, has arrived and is awaiting your
immediate presence in the drawing room.”
    Olivia cast a glance to
Gideon. He stiffened. She watched as his cold, indifferent mask slowly slipped down
over his features. A chilly wave curled about her heart. How quickly he changed
just at the mere mention of his father.
    “Not a sound, Liv . Stay here and stay quiet until I can be rid of him,
understand?”
    His words were given in
a commanding, rigid tone. Lord Craven had returned.
    She whispered, “Yes.”
    Gideon slipped on his
coat and strode from the room. She heard his boots thumping down the stairs and
the door slamming shut in the drawing room. Olivia, still in her dressing gown,
quietly moved into the hall and walked to the head of the stairs. She moved
down a few, but froze when she heard the drawing room door open again.
    “You are to wait
outside, Williams, with the carriage. I should not be long. Understand?”
    “Aye, Your Grace. I’ll await your further orders.”
    Oh, God. That voice.
There was no mistaking the gravely, rough tones. Yellow Teeth. So he was the
duke’s man. Gideon’s father was behind her abduction. On the tips of her bare toes, she slowly made her way
back to the bedroom. Her hands shook in fear and apprehension. If the duke knew
she was here—
    She closed the door.

    Gideon steeled himself
for the confrontation ahead. What in the fuck was his father doing in
London
? He never came to
town
