love to her . Please let it be soon!
It was early, so he stayed abed, just holding her close . It was bliss .
After a time, Libby stirred .
“You awake, sweetheart?” Micah drawled sleepily as he rose up on his elbow and gazed lingeringly at her . He kissed her cheek and noticed most of her lovely breast was exposed by the deep V of her shirt he unfasten ed the night before. He ached to cover it with his hand .
“Yes .” She rolled over to face him then . Her hands moved to his face . She lifted up to offer him a kiss . It was a gentle, sweet kiss . She moved her lips over his . She p ulled on his bottom lip with her moist , rosy lips and pulled back to regard him .
He kissed her back . This marked the first time Libby initiated anything between them . Micah allowed her to set the pace . The moment was precious to him . When she began to lick at his lips, he opened to allow her entrance . He savored her kiss and w ound his hands in her hair . He rolled onto his back, bringing her half over his torso . Her hands roamed over his bare chest and shoulders . His hands moved slowly d own her beautiful slender back to cup her sweet bottom that was the cause of his early arousal this morning , and the two mornings previous . He pulled the long tails of her shirt down to make certain he wouldn’t touch her bare bottom, though in reality h e wished her to be completely naked at this moment .
Micah hugged her to him tightly . He k issed her forehead loudly while s mooth ing back an errant strand of sable silk that covered one eye . “We need to get you dressed, sweetheart . Elveston will be knocking soon . And some of our reinforcements or possibly even Owen may arrive today.”
Libby nodded reluctantly . She s ighed . “Shall we have to wait for the banns to be cried before we can be married, Micah?”
“We have to talk to Owen, Libby . He will have a say in all of this, I’m certain . If we have to wait, it will be three weeks . I’m hoping to get a special license . I would prefer we marry as soon as possible . ”
“I hope we can marry soon too .” She smiled down at Micah before placing an other kiss to his lips .
This kiss was slow and sweet . Micah smile d up at her when her lips left his . “We need to get you dressed Libby, or I’ll have to order a cold bath!”
Libby laughed .
Micah gently smacked her derri è re .
They dressed . Breakfast was being brought in when Elveston entered . “Owen is here . I saw him ride in with Charlie and Sinclair when I looked out the window just now . They must have ridden all night , and they had to be closer than Roseland Abbey when they received the message . ”
“Mr. Banfield; Lords Fitzlewis, Silverley and Sinclair may come up,” Micah instructed him . “And we’ll need more breakfast for them as well.”
“I’ll go down at once, sir .” The i nnkeep er nodded and left them .
Libby suddenly felt nervous .
Sitting next to her, Micah reached under the table and took her hand , squeezing it reassuringly . He smiled at her . “Everything will be fine, sweetheart.”
She nodded and s miled back at him . Before she was kidnapped she never wanted to leave Roseland Abbey or Owen . Now, she never wanted to leave Micah .
She took a few bites of her breakfast before she heard Owen’s voice out in the hall way . She s miled brightly when she saw her brother’s large frame fill the doorway . She s aw the relief wash over his face and felt tears threaten as she realized just how worried he must have been .
“Owen !” She rose and r an straight into her brother’s open arms.
Owen Darrington, Lord Fitzlewis , h ugged his little sister tightly . He let go a huge sigh of relief . He thank ed God Li bby was alive and well . He feared he might never see her again . Alive . “Libby ! Thank God you’re well .” Owen pulled back and noticed how very pale she was . He noticed the breakfast on the table . “Eat, pet . We’ll talk when you are finished .”
It was early, so he stayed abed, just holding her close . It was bliss .
