LOVING HER DUKE
She was glad she decided to speak to him rather than retire to her bed, alone and with more questions.
There was no mistress. She was the only one. His wife, his lover.
Unable to stop herself, Beth stole a glance at him and found he had his eyes closed, his chest remained heaving but not as intensely. He was relaxed and she yearned to touch him. Was he asleep?
Her husband. Her lover.
He was the man her heart now yearned for, the one she would always love.
But he would never know of her love for him, and he may never love her in return. Her joy reduced. She clutched the blanket and with a deep exhale, returned her eyes to the ceiling, her smile fading.
