Sarah’s cry had them both turning their heads. Ben held the little girl, who was rubbing her eyes. Then the child made a hungry face.
Emily went to stand but Ben waved her away. “I’ll take her back. No need for you two to come. Enjoy the sunrise. Mary’ll have the morning meal ready. We’ll feed the little tyke and watch her for a bit.”
As soon as they were gone, John pulled Emily onto his lap so she faced him. “Alone at last. Be a shame to waste it just sitting here doing nothing.”
“A real shame,” Emily said, feeling him growing hard beneath her. “But shouldn’t we watch the sunrise first? That is why you dragged me out of bed so early on the one day Sarah didn’t.”
John slid his fingers into her hair. He lifted the strands and let them drift over them. “I’m watching my Lady Dawn right now. No one is more beautiful than you.” With practiced ease, he undid his breeches, lifted her skirts from beneath her and slid her down onto him.
For a long moment they sat there staring at each other, their bodies joined as well as their hearts and souls. “I love you, Sunshine,” he said.
“I love you, too, John. Now, can we stop talking and start kissing?” After all those years, she still yearned for his kisses.
“Whatever you want, Sunshine.” John slid the top of her dress down her arms and palmed her breasts.
“I want,” Emily said, her lips meeting his.
The sun rose and gentle light bathed them, but neither noticed.
Torn between love and duty; conflicted by passion and a thirst for revenge; choosing independence or succumbing to the lure of an all-consuming love. Don’t miss the next three titles from Susan Edward’s White Series, available now.
