Patience!

Hang in there a bit longer! The next Unexpected Circumstances chapter will post, it just needs to come back from the beta. She has a life (and multiple jobs, other than fixing my commas) and I know she'll get to it as soon as it can, esp. since there is smut potential. ;)

To tide you over, here's another quick little teaser:

“I want you so much,” he whispered, and I could not deny the intensity of his words. They both thrilled and terrified me. “Since the moment I laid eyes on you…when I pulled you close to me on my horse…I wanted you then. So beautiful, so soft…”

He sucked my lower lip into his mouth, his tongue tracing the edge of it before releasing me, only to kiss me deeper as his fingers went to the lacings at the top of the nightdress. Obviously, there had been no need to lace it up, for the laces were removed only moments later. He didn’t pull it open, though; just lay his hand on my shoulder, his fingers teasing softly under the edge of the cloth.

“Touch me.” His voice was pleading.
