He used a gentle strength that surprised Caroline to turn her so that she was sideways in her chair. Her legs spun and dangled off the edge. The hem o... her skirt, already hiked up, slid even higher up — revealing more thigh than a lady should. His hands dwarfed her shoulders and she could feel the power in his tender touch. He dug his thumbs into the base of her neck and began to massage her shoulders. ‘You don’t have to…’ she objected softly. He either knew she didn’t mean it or didn’t care.. ’ It was signed and dated.
