Natalia’s Secret Spinster’s Society (The Spinster’s Society) (A Regency Romance Book)
Page 34
“Oh!” Her hands fumbled and pressed against his hips. “You shouldn’t,” she whispered.
He moved his hands to her stomach and yanked her in. Her backside cupped his ridge, and Aaron momentarily saw stars. His teeth caught her ear.
She gasped and turned her head, probably to say something, but he stole the words from her lips and she moaned just as her body pushed back against him. Her hands moved to his neck, dragging him closer.
Yes! Aaron had finally found heaven, and she was hotter than he’d imagined. She sucked and kissed his lips,
A throat was cleared at the door.
“Go away!” he commanded.
There was a shriek and then the sound of footsteps once again retreating.
Christin pulled way and moved out of his hold. Her hand went to her cheek as she stared at him. “You have to go.” She looked at the clock and then at him again. “I’ve another appointment.”
He wondered how she could think of work when he was unable to think of anything but barricading the door so that they weren’t disturbed again.
He approached her and took her free hand. “I’ll leave, but I plan to return.”
“No.” Her eyes widened with fear, and he regretted shouting at her servant. He rarely gave in to his temper now, not since taking in Mary and Lily.
“I can’t help you, Lord Jeanshire. I hope you do eventually find the right person to take care of your daughters—”
“My wards, actually,” he corrected. “They’re the daughters of a distant cousin. I inherited them along with their father’s lands. But yes, they are like daughters to me.”
She looked surprised. “How old are they?”
“Seven and five. Lily will be six in a few days.”
Her features were softened by a small smile. “They’re old enough to go to school.” She’d not been the first person to come up with that idea.
He shook his head. “That’s not an option. I’ll not send them away. They’ve already lost too much.”
And so had he.
He’d not been there when they’d lost their mother three years ago, but Aaron had been in the room with their father, Baron Columbus Gates, when he had died. He had killed himself… just seconds before Aaron could kill him.
Christin’s expression softened further, and her fingers tightened in his hand. “You seem to love them very much.”
“I do.” He didn’t know when his feelings for the girls had grown but was sure it had happened little more than weeks after taking them in.
Her face split into a warm smile, and Aaron was humbled by it, that she would give that to him. More hope. “How fortunate they are to have you.”
“I’m the fortunate one,” he insisted. “Please, I need your help.”
“But, I don’t—”
“Perhaps, you could help me find one. Help me with my search. For them.” He felt no guilt at using the girls’ situation to endear himself to this woman. “You said you know people who train governesses, but I don’t know the first thing about them. Perhaps you could guide me on making a good choice.”
