“It’s impossible,â€� he snapped.

“W³ó²â?â€�

“Because I’m Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent. I can’t be celibate. Everyone knows that.”

“I want to fill every part of you, breathe the air from your lungs and leave my handprints on your soul. I want to give you more pleasure than you can bear.”

“I’ll take your bet,â€� he said grimly. “I’m going to win it. And in three months, I’m going to put this back on your finger, and take you to bed, and do things to you that are outlawed in the civilized world.”

“The situation was extraordinary. How someone like Evangeline Jenner could have wrought such a change in St. Vincent, the most worldly of men, was difficult to understand. However, Westcliff had learned that the mysteries of attraction could not always be explained through logic. Sometimes the fractures in two separate souls became the very hinges that held them together.”

“It’s a mistake, you know. You have no idea of what you’ll be exposed to…the obscenities and lewd comments, the lecherous gazes, the groping and pinching…and that’s just at my house. Imagine what it would be like here.”

“Ah, Evie,â€� she heard him say softly, “I must have a heart, after all…because right now it aches like the devil.â€�

“Only your heart?� she asked ingenuously, making him laugh.

“A lang, lang time ago…â€� MacPhee began, ignoring St.Vincent’s low groan, “there was a bonnie maid called Malvina. She was the betrothed of Oscar, the braw warrior who won her heart. Oscar bade his beloved tae wait for him while he went tae seek his fortune. But one black day Malvina received word that her lover had been killed in battle. He would lie forever in eternal rest in the faraway hills…lost in endless slumber…â€�
“God, I envy him,â€� St. Vincent said feelingly, rubbing his own dark-circled eyes.”

“Good God. I don’t believe St. Vincent and the word ‘celibacyâ€� have ever been mentioned in the same sentence before.”

“Slowly his resistance ebbed. She felt the change in his body, the relaxing of tension, his shoulders curving around her as if he could draw her into himself. Murmuring her name, he brought her hand to his face and nuzzled ardently into her palm, his lips brushing the warm circlet of her gold wedding band. “My love is upon you,â€� he whispered…and she knew then that she had won.”

“If my love can hold you, I'll keep you with me.”

“If your concern is that I may be overcome with manly ardor and ravish you in a moment of weaknessâ€� I may. If you ask nicely.”
