“A hedonist feels no guilt for enjoying pleasure, whether that’s the pleasure of good food, strong drink, fragrant gardens, stirring music, or sexual intimacy.”
Her cheeks flared bright red. “Oh. And you don’t feel guilty about those things?”
“Not at all. I see no point in it.”
She nodded, and oh so slowly, raised her eyes to meet his. The uncertainty there was nearly as charming as the curiosity. He could feel the questions and the need rippling through her, and he smiled.
“Matty, would you like to make love with me tonight?” he asked, simple and quiet, brushing a lock of hair away from her heated face.
She bit her lip, and his body reacted with a surge of wanting that would rival anything Jason could lay claim to. Then, slowly, she nodded.
“I’m glad,” he said, standing to remove the rest of his clothes. “I’ve been hoping you’d want to make love with me for a while now.”
“You have?” she murmured.
“Of course.” He shed his clothes quickly, then climbed back onto the bed with her. “I’m honored that you would choose me to teach you about this part of life.”
He drew her into his arms and lay her on her back to kiss her. She responded freely, which did more than just arouse him. It filled him with the determination to make her his so that he could protect her, no matter who she was or how fast her past caught up with her.
There’s much more of Season One of The Brynthwaite Boys to come! The story continues with Part Two… What will happen when Matty’s past is revealed? Has Marshall really heard the last from Clara’s family, and will Alexandra ever see how he feels about her? And will Jason and Flossie’s relationship be revealed? What about Lady E?
If you’d like to read even more about the town of Brynthwaite, but fifteen years earlier than this serial, check out May Mistakes, part of The Silver Foxes of Westminster series, and its accompanying novellas, Brynthwaite Promise and Brynthwaite Summer!

Acknowledgments
Thanks so much to all of my marvelous readers who have encouraged me to write The Brynthwaite Boys. I sometimes feel like I have a very weird imagination, but things like satyriasis and amnesia actually do happen! So why not torture a few characters with them along the way?
Thanks also to my amazing friend, assistant, and editor, but mostly friend, Julia Tague for everything she does to help me out and keep me sane.
