her breath away. Melody felt so nervous about seeing him again. What if she was wrong and had misjudged his intentions? She would be so devastated, if that were the case. It would also be embarrassing, because she had led her parents to believe that he loved her. Henry dismounted from his horse, and when he looked at Melody, all her doubts melted away. The look in Henry’s eyes said it all, because they were filled with love and tenderness. She was sure that he loved her! Melody’s hands began to shake, and her heart began to beat rapidly as Henry walked over to her, took her hand, and raised it to his lips. He placed a kiss in the center of her palm, and shivers ran up and down her spine.
“Melody, it’s wonderful to see you again. God, you are so beautiful! I’ve missed you so much. I came as soon as I could get away from my family. How have you been? Did you miss me?” he asked.
She looked at Henry’s face and smiled happily at him as she replied, “I’ve missed you desperately, and I’m pleased that you have arrived. Let’s go inside so I can introduce you to my parents. I’ve told them all about you, and they’re looking forward to meeting you.”
As they went into the house, they gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes. They went into the parlor so that Melody could introduce him to her parents. She was very nervous and excited, and she just hoped that her parents would like him! “Mother … Father, this is Lord Henry Montgomery. Remember, I told you he would be coming for a visit.”
Melody’s father stepped forward and offered Henry his hand as he said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, my lord. Melody told us you were coming for a visit. How was the trip up here?
As Henry shook his hand, he said, “It was a pleasant trip, and for the most part, the weather cooperated. I only encountered rain one day, and it wasn’t a hard rain.”
“It was quite a long distance for you, wasn’t it? You’re from Surrey, correct?” Melody’s father asked.
“I’m from Cranleigh, Surrey, which is about thirty miles south of London. I appreciate you allowing to come for a visit,” he said.
Melody’s father smiled jovially at Melody and Henry as he said, “Have you found a place to stay while you’re in the area? We would be happy to offer you our hospitality, if you haven’t already found a place. Oh, by the way, you can call me Magnus, as we aren’t formal around here.”
“If it wouldn’t be too much trouble, I would very much enjoy accepting your kind offer of hospitality. This will give us all a chance to get to know each other,” Henry answered.
“Good … Good!” Magnus replied. “Why don’t you go get your things and Melody can show you to your room.”
Henry had tied Jupiter up out front, so Melody showed him where he could put his horse. The stable was small, but clean. Henry put Jupiter in a stall and proceeded to take off his saddle, brush him down, and give him some oats. There was no one in the stable, but the two of them, so Henry took advantage of that. He pulled Melody into his arms and kissed her. His blood began to boil, and his heart was pounding, because he was so excited to be kissing her again. It seemed as if it had been so long. Melody was kissing him back with fervor, and he felt his desire rise. He tentatively placed his hand on her breast. This was the first time he had touched her like this, and it felt incredibly titillating. She let out a sigh, so he knew she was enjoying it as well. As he deepened the kiss, he pulled her tightly against him. The stall was full of soft hay, and he pulled her down so that they were lying together facing each other; he continued to kiss her. He kneaded her breasts and felt her nipples grow taut through her dress. Her heart was pounding in her chest; he could feel it under his hand. He pulled up the skirt of her gown and felt her smooth calf; his hand traveled further up to her plump thigh. It felt incredible to be touching her
