She knew his words were daring her to finish, and she didn't know what was going to come out of her mouth next! She was so angry--at him, at herself, at the woman he might have chosen over her--and jealous, and hurt that she didn't know which words would have came out next----had he not kissed her.
Had he not just then given her first kiss. For a second her breath caught and froze from the kiss but before her mind could think of more, she was kissing him back. Her first kiss. Her hands tried to move to touch him to balance herself, as she felt almost dizzy from the power of the kiss. He stepped closer, and their bodies pressed tighter. He stepped again, using his body to force her's back until the firmness of the wall and the firmness of his chest encased her. The cool wall at her back and burn of his chest at her front.
Moaning she pulled at her hands, but he held frim. Kate didn't know what to do in this moment. While escape was no where on her mind, she didn't know if she was supposed to tilt her head, or press him to him. Her toes were curled, but should she press up on to them to get closer to his lips? The idea of being closer caused her to do just that. Pushing up to the tips of her toes she deepened the kiss without even knowing there was a deeper.
All she knew was that this was the best she had ever felt, and she finally had a realize to the anger inside her.

His pulled his hands from her's and she was about to say more, but he appeared to try to look at his shoulder. Tilting her head she saw that the bee had stung him, and it left a small red welt where the skin has been broken from the stinger. Her brows were bent in confusion as he turned to her and looked into her eyes. He looked scared, and her heart began to panic for the first time. Anthony Bridgerton looked so human and lost in this moment that her heart skipped a beat.
Something was wrong. His words however, weren't ones that brought her any clarity. "Wh-What?" she asked, not even able to begin with 'pardon?' which would have been polite in mix company. Instead his demand that she suck it had brought her to what she could only describe as a stouper. Did he mean the . . . the bee sting?
Kate stared at the half dressed man before her, knowing this was as close to a naked man as she had ever been, and couldn't fathom more then the four letters she had somehow managed to escape.

Kate pursed her lips at his insult, that she was here with nothing better to do. She might have told him she painted, but she wasn't about to give him any fuel to the fire, and instead did the most unlike Kate thing in the world and let it go. Only because his next words were the ones the choose to foucs on.
He was telling her. She was given no choice. Find, she would be less subtle. "Lord Bridgerton, if I wanted someone to follow my every step I would take my dog to the ball." Newton would not do well at a ball. Too much of a chance to get stepped on. In fact he was up in her room napping at this moment, as the steps were a lot on him (even if they were easier on him then most).
"Surely you have something you could do instead? According to Lady Whistledown, you have lots and lots you could do instead. Perhaps instead of demanding to be allowed near me for the next months, you could instead give her more to talk about?" Meaning she knew what the papers had said about him.

She wanted to wrap her legs around him, or at least open them so he could settled between her thighs were she wanted and needed him to be, but she knew that she could not. Doing so would ruin this moment, and right now there wasn't something Kate needed more then her husband. His lips trailed down her skin, and Kate's head tilted back to give him room. She wanted to move and kiss him more too. She wanted to undress him, and let her how lips trail over his skin, tasting him as she did--but she could do nothing until her leg healed.
Her breathing deepen and quicken as his took her into his mouth, sucking there where the feeling was stronger. Moaning under his touch, her fingers tightened in his hair, and she gasped softly. She could feel him begin to undress, and she wanted to help. Her fingers moving to the buttons that she could reach and pulling them free from the shirt to hasten his attempts.
She never imagined it could be such a wonderful things, being in bed with one's husband, but Anthony had proven too her how wonder it really was. She was not an idle partner. Once his shirt was free from his body, her fingers ran over the exposed skin. The feel of his skin under her fingers was hot to the touch, and she didn't want to stop touching him.

The handsome jaw worked as he opened his mouth and--Yes, there was Anthony Bridgerton. His voice might have been deeper, and even pleasant to hear--which she would not admit to herself, but his words still held that ability to annoy her like no other. "I think normally one sends word when they wish to call outside of visiting hours, so they were unaware of your visit and had not planned to be home." Mary and Edwina were out exploring the town and seeing everything it had to offer. While Kate had wanted some time alone to paint.
However it seemed she would get neither. "You shall escourt us?" Why? She didn't want him there while she was in places that were unfamiliar. Surly he had better things to do then attend a ball? "That is nor needed. I am sure your mother would be more then willing to attend with us, and I am sure she can do just fine without you."
She was already nervous enough. The last thing she needed was Anthony Bridgerton (especially one that was now handsome) to stand and watch her attempt to talk to other men. She didn't want him near.

He was here. Kate wished her mother and sister was here, because then she'd hae a barrier between her and Bridgerton. Squaring her shoulders she marched down to 'greet' him, knowing that she had to at least play 'nice' for a moment since he had paid for this house that she was living in for the next few months at least.
Walking into the room, she paused. It had been a while, years really, since she had saw him. Gone was the boyish features and dress. The man standing before her was tall, and had thick unruly hair. When he looked at her it seemed as if even his eyes had changed in a way--or maybe she was only just giving notice to how deep they seem to go. How horrible that Anthony Bridgerton would have turned out handsome! Not just a little, either. It was very much a handsome man.
"Lord Bridgerton," she said, taking an unsteady breath and walking into the room. It mattered little (didn't it?) that he was handsome. He was still Anthony Bridgerton--and he now had control over her future.

He stepped closer, and Kate had to look up into his face in order to keep contact with his eyes. He was so close now that her chest brushed his with each deep breath she took, and she was breathing deeper and longer in both anger, jealously and something that she didn't know how to name. Something that made her warm all over, like a fervor but it felt good rather then sickly.
"It seems to get you what you want, why would it not work for me?" She bit out, and somehow leaned into him just enough that her body became flush with his, his heat seeping into her and the firmness of him standing there so close. She used on hand to hit his chest, but as it did not hurt her then she knew it didn't hurt him. "I knew you were a rake, and you come here to prove it!"
"And to think I started to think better of you! If you can come here looking for a . . . . . " She couldn't finish, because the thought hurt. So instead she hit him again, though no harder then before. Because sadly, she didn't want to hurt him.

He said nothing. Kate watched him, stepping a little closer as they stood in--He pulled his coat off. "Lord Bridgerton!" She said in what might have been the primmest voice she had ever used. "Put that back on!" Yet he did not, and instead took off his waist coat too! "Do you have a mental affection?!" She asked with wide eyes and shock--not surprised, pure shock. Yet if she thought she was shocked now it was nothing to when he began to undress more and pulled his shirt out from his trousers!
Kate stepped back, "Lord Bridgerton!" She hissed looking around, "You are going to get us compromised!" Which might have been his plan?! This was how rakes . . . raked?! It made little sense! Nothing was adding up and she had thought she was a fairly smart woman! "Anthony!" She called again, using his christened name as this didn't feel like a formal setting any longer.
Right as he began undoing the buttons, she surged forwards and grabbed his hands. "Say something!"

Her husband's large hand moved to her breast, and Kate moaned softly as the the tip beaded into a tight bud under his fingers. He intended she did? He wanted to watch her do it? His kiss kept her from asking more, but the idea of getting to be with him in some form mixed with his touch aroused things in her that only he had ever been able too.
Her leg would have move, as she tried to shift under him without thought, but his hand held her down in place. There was a light twinge from it but nothing that hindered her from enjoying his touch and kiss. Not one to remain idle, Kate put both hands on his cheek as he kissed her, one hand sliding into his hair to rest on the back of his head to hold him close. The other slide down his shoulder, and held on to him there. "Anthony," She breathed his name when they broke apart to breathe. "I need you." Both forever and now--especially now!
Not to prove him right, however "I feel as if it has been forever since you touched me." Perhaps there was something to this waiting a week and being grumpy. She hadn't been grumpy but now that he had started this is knew she'd be put out, or crossed if someone walked in and stopped them.

Finally he did something besides stand there and be his father's voice. However it wasn't exactly a win as he told her he would made sure that she had no other suitors. Her lips parted in surprise but Kate wasn't one to stand idle and silent. She would speak her mind and her voice. "My father is a man and cares little for how you choose to spend your extra time. As a wife I would have read these stories daily knowing my husband was embarrassing me before the same ton you claim is singing your praises."
"I have no wish to be in a marriage with a man who can't be loyal to his wife. I'd rather one who loved me." Kate didn't expect a love match, but knew if she found a man who would at least be a friend or they had common ground that she could perhaps grow to love him. However a man she had no choice in--that in truth had no choice in her either--wasn't ideal.

Kate walked around the house in London, and tried not to like it. She didn't want to like how bright it was, how thick the carpeting felt under her feet (and thus how warm it would be on cool mornings), or how her bedroom had more space then her one at home. She didn't want to like how the house would be perfect for painting in the mornings because the lighting was perfect. She didn't want to like how Newton could handle the steps as they were not too big. She didn't want to like how the garden in the back had the most beautiful flowers and plants.
She didn't want to like any of it.
Because Anthony Bridgerton had picked it out. Over the years they had met during the London off season when her father would host parties at his estate, and had never once gotten a long. Even if there was a rare moment when of them tried to get along the other would ruin it for them both and they were go back to bickering. Her father had died 6 years ago and she had not seen him since.
However, Mary had informed her that Anthony Bridgerton had arranged for their trip, because her father had asked him to see both daughters wed in the event he could not. So here she was, in a house he paid for, and not wanting to like it at all--even though she really did.

He stopped. Damn him he stopped--and while she knew she had been hinting at him to stop because she thought it could not go anywhere, now that she was beginning to see he had a plan for it to finish wonderfully, she wanted him to show her. Now, instead of showing her or answering her own question he was stopping to demand her answer from her.
"As you said," she whispered, lifting her fingers to touch his face--the face she had come to love so well--"It is a most reasonable alternative to nothing," To which she would keep in mind for any trips he would need to go on. "However, it is not one I have tried before." And yet, she still was wanting to know more. Anthony had showed her much since they wed, and while they had disagreements out of bed, there had been only good things between them in the bed.
She wanted to experience more. Wanted to see all he could show her. He was a former rake, after all, and she should take advantage of such things. "Have you?" Touched himself. Found pleasure by himself. How did that even work? "Do you intend to now?" Her fingers trailed off his skin and to her dress's ties. Pulling them apart for him. An invitation for him to kiss her there. Kate liked it when he kissed her breast, something she had not even imagined happening until he had done it before.

Was this how she presented herself to suitors? Goodness, no! She'd be unpopular more then she was now. "Only the unsuitable ones I am given no choice in." She told him, meaning--he was just the lucky one that she was getting to show this side too. Which wasn't meant to say that she wasn't normally a sweet girl. Kate knew her faults, and staying quite and non sarcastic wasn't one of them.
Her father didn't see the world as a woman did. He saw a good match with a noble man, and nothing more. He looked at Lord Bridgerton's wealth and knew that he wouldn't cause her harm and said--marry him. He didn't see that she didn't love him. He didn't see that she would never be loved, or that they had nothing in common to begin a relationship with. He didn't see that he was giving her no choice. He didn't care that . . . "Lord Bridgerton, while I would not dare speak ill of a friend of my fathers . . . . "
"Lady Whistledown speaks very popularly of your fondness for mistresses, and I believe that you've had more of them then I have had birthdays. You are a rake, and very one knows this. I would prefer a husband who has been less shared by the women in the women in the town I intend to call home."

Unlikely Anthony, Kate did realize his hand was on her, as the heat from just that touch was hot against her skin. His reaction almost made her think that he too felt some form of dislike for the idea of her with another--but how dare he hold that dislike while planning to be with another! If it was a dislike for her seeking the same type of relationship he had with his loose women then he could not stand in judgment over her! While she would not have ever done so--as she'd be ruined--her anger didn't let her think of the repercussions. Only the moment.
When his hand came on her arm to hold her in place, her hands too lifted to rest on his chest as if to hold him back. It was her first touch of him like this, and had she not been hurt by his intentions, she would have relished it--instead they balled with anger and hurt and jealousy in his shirt. "Foolish? I was invited here. By your brother no less. A man who is without wife, and enjoys painting as I do. Perhaps this is the way I am to find a husband since dancing dies not work."
"You strut around with your title of rake with pride. Perhaps I shall find a rake here." Like he sought out his women. In truth, she knew that once he let her go she'd run away. Hurt knowing he was here and holding another close. Hurt that he was kissing someone that was not her--and knowing that it never would. Anthony didn't plan to marry her but her sister. He had made his choice in bride and made his choice in the women he wanted--and none of them were her.

His words were true, but Kate still added on, "I believe it's her word choice that has gather her such popularity among the ton. As well as her topics." Be is mocking her or reliving in his nightly deeds, Lady Whistledown was taking the ton by storm and had become the most popular woman without giving a hint toward her identity.
Yet the conversation moved on as he introduced the topic of coming to speak to her about a moment of his family. This made Kate pause as it seemed odd. Why would a rake and lord of the realm come to her--an stronger-- to talk about one member of his family. It could mean that she had either cause someone insult (which with her personality was a risk) or worse . . . . . yes . . . or worse. "I was unaware I had yet to meet any of your family formally." She said, trying to gauge what his intentions were. Because that would then proceed to determine her reaction.
While Mary was her mother in all sense of the word, without a father present she was left to make the hard choices. Mary was a good woman but didn't have Kate's head. Which why they of then worked in agreement. Mary would not let and engagement happen without Kate's approval--for either girl.
