Impossible Desires
By Tamsin Baker
Blurb
Lord Gareth Osborne is a wealthy earl in need of a wife, but the insipid debutantes he encounters do not fulfil the darkest fantasies of his soul. He fears that it will be impossible to find a woman who will satisfy his needs and make a suitable companion, until he meets the sensual, self-assured Eleanor.
Lady Eleanor Rossette is newly widowed, though not unhappily so. Her marriage put her into the hands of an abusive, controlling man, and Eleanor knows she will never surrender her control again. She yearns for a strong, passionate man who will yield to her in the bedroom, and she wants that man to be Lord Osborne…
“Thank
you for bringing me into the night air, my lord. Would you be so kind
as to fetch me a glass of punch?” Eleanor smiled as prettily as possible
and watched the Viscount’s face crumple. The punch was on the other
side of the ballroom.
But good manners dictated that he retrieve it for her and being a widow, Eleanor was free to be alone.
“Of course, my lady.”
She
watched the young lord scurry off and took a deep breath as she walked
out towards the gardens. There was beauty to be found everywhere, even
in London.
“You got rid of the whelp, I see.”
Eleanor
smiled and wrapped her arms around herself. His voice sent shivers
racing across her skin. She could only imagine what his lips might do.
“That is not kind, Gareth.”
She
kept her eyes fixed ahead and used the rest of her senses to reach out
to him. His swift intake of breath made her smile again.
“Why do you call me Gareth?”
She turned at this and felt her stomach leap. His black eyes were ablaze with passion for her. She had not been wrong about him.
“That
is your name, is it not?” She dropped her arms to her sides and allowed
her figure to be easily appraised. His eyes didn’t waver from hers. He
stared into her eyes and that pleased her greatly.
“No one calls me Gareth, not even my parents.”
His confusion was clear, and triumph filled her. Shock was a new emotion to the man in front of her. Good.
“Gareth, you may call me Eleanor if it would make you feel more comfortable.”
She smiled again, unable to stop herself. Fun was a new aspect in her life and she intended to keep it.
“Eleanor, come home with me.”
The
look of shock on Gareth’s face made her wonder if he had even
registered the words in his brain before they spilled from his lips.He
then clenched his jaw and raised his head a fraction. He may not have
meant to speak aloud, but it was clear to Eleanor that he had meant what
he had said.
She
couldn’t go home with him. Not yet. Her future happiness with this man
depended on him wanting to keep her for more than one night.
“Ask
me again next time we meet,” she whispered, putting all of her longing
into her eyes, allowing him to see how much she wanted him.
He growled in response and took a step towards her.
Her stomach dropped in anticipation of his action. Would he kiss her right here on the balcony?
As though she had planned it to stop his advance, the Viscount stepped out onto the balcony with her drink.
“My lady.” He half bowed as he rushed the glass to her fingertips.
Eleanor smiled in thanks and drank the cold liquid in one gulp. Her throat was sore and dry – when had that happened?
“My lord.” The viscount bowed in greeting to Gareth and stepped closer to her side.
Eleanor smothered her smile and looked up again at her chosen mate.
Gareth inclined his head and she curtsied low. “I hope you are feeling better soon, Lady Rossette.”
She
watched him walk away and found herself wishing that their courtship
was already over. She had to tread so carefully, build their
relationship up to how it should be. Yet she wanted nothing except a
life with that man. She was so impatient she could scream.
