Every comment, touch, exchange of endearments, whisper or wink caused Duke's anticipation to grow ever more intense. Whilst the teasing and banter was enjoyable, and added to his appreciation of the woman, it also increased his desire to do something about it, and prove himself to be a man of his word, and to discover if Karmen was a woman of hers.
