Nothing had prepared Lady Katharine Montgomery for the jumble of feelings overwhelming her when Alex worshipped her body, first with words and later with his hands and mouth. For years around this house, she\u2019d been forced to appear dowdy, unintelligent, and totally self-effacing to never anger her father, or draw his wrath. Now, though, every degrading restriction was lifted from her mind, body, and life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her father was dead. Yesterday, she\u2019d buried her hatred for the despicable man who\u2019d given her life during the quarter hour it took to stand at his grave and, along with all the other hypocrites present, pretend to mourn as they buried his mortal remains. He\u2019d cheated traders, beaten plantation workers, and horse-whipped her within an inch of her life. She and all the other mourners hoped he\u2019d rot in hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last night, she\u2019d felt free to liberate the passionate nature she\u2019d kept buried for six and twenty years for fear of her father\u2019s explosive wrath. But one night with Lord Alexander St. John had changed everything. One night with a lover who was gentle and caring had her aching for more, more of Alex and more of life with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
