He reached up and pulled out a thin volume. Cicero. In Latin. “Tell me what’s bothering you.”
“Nothing, my lord.”
“You’re not being truthful. I can hear it in your voice.”
She rose and stomped over to where he stood. “Your ears are hearing something that isn’t there. All is well. I assure you.”
“Fine. I won’t pry. Just know that you have nothing to fear. You have someone who will always defend you.”
He studied her then, a defiant woman with fire in her eyes and a stubborn set to her mouth.
An impulse overcame his good sense. He reached out and traced her lips with his forefinger. She stilled and seemed to hold her breath. If he dipped his head slowly, his lips could cover hers. A sound, like a whimper, seemed to escape from her throat.
Don’t do it. Don’t do it.
He tilted her chin and lowered his mouth to hers, waiting to see if she’d pull back.
She didn’t.
Her eyes closed and she swayed toward him, giving him the encouragement he needed to wrap his arms around her and press her body to his.
