Grosvenor Square, 1813

The deed is done! Miss Addington is now Nolani, Viscountess Bridgerton.
This Author extends the very best of wishes to the happy couple. Sensible and honorable people are surely scarce among the ton, and it's certainly gratifying to see two of this rare breed joined in marriage.

Until now, Anthony had not realized how badly he needed for her to say yes, to admit to her need. He clutched her to him, his cheek pressing into the gentle curve of her belly. Even in her wedding gown she smelled of roses and soap, that scent that melts him.
"I need you." He growled, not sure if his words were getting lost in the layers of silk that kept her from him. "I need you now."
He rose to his feet and lifted her in his arms, taking remarkably few steps to reach the large four - poster bed that dominated his room. He'd never taken a woman here before, always preferring to conduct his liaisons elsewhere, and he was suddenly glad of the fact.
Nola was different. She was his wife. He wanted no other memories to intrude on this special night.
He laid her down on the mattress, his eyes never leaving her charmingly disheveled form as he melodically dripped from his clothing. First his gloves, one by one, then his coat.
He caught her eyes, dark and large and full of wonder, and he smiled, slowly and with satisfaction. "You've never seen a naked man, have you?" He murmured.
She shook her head in response.
"Good." He leaned forward, "you'll never see another."
He moved to the buttons of his shirt, slowly slipping each from its buttonhole, his desire increased tenfold when he saw her tongue dart out to wet her lips.
She wanted him. He knew enough of women to be positive of that. And by the time the night was through, she would not be able to live without him.
