Zac woke to find blinding amounts of sunlight streaming in through the windows. He groaned. He had forgotten to close the curtains. He shut his eyes, but the sense of light was still there. It was amazing how bright the sun could be at nine o'clock in the morning. Why couldn't it be rainy or foggy? It was most mornings.

Unable to even consider going back to sleep with the sunlight searing his eyeballs, Zac got up from the sofa. Only then did he remember where he'd been sleeping. And why.

He glanced over at the bed. Lily was still sound asleep. Good thing there were no cows waiting on her. They'd be miserable by now.

He walked over to the bed, cows and sunlight forgotten.

He didn't know how it was possible, but she seemed even more innocent and vulnerable lying there, the sheet kicked off, her arms and legs flung every which way. She also looked more alluring than ever. Her chemise was pulled up to reveal one leg half way up her thigh.

Lily was an absolutely voluptuous creature. Even waked out of a deep sleep at an early hour, he felt himself growing uncomfortably rigid. Clearly the sensible thing to do was pull the sheet over Lily and yell for Dodie to hustle her off to some other bedroom.

Instead he sank down on the side of the bed and put an extended index finger into Lily's open palm.

It was a tiny, insignificant action, but his response was momentous. His entire being seemed to be covered with pins and needles. He had a powerful urge to reach out and consume this woman, to make love to her until his body no longer hardened at the thought of her tenderness or her purity.

He pulled his hand back. That was exactly the reason he was forcing her to leave the Little Corner of Heaven. Men like him would look at her and think only of satisfying their physical needs. Zac was certain Lily would become a wonderfully satisfying lover, but she needed much more than that, more than he or any man of his ilk could give her.

He heard footsteps in the corridor. It would be Dodie. Good. It was time Lily moved. He was feeling terribly vulnerable. He wasn't sure just how long he could be responsible for himself.

He was vaguely aware of the steps growing louder, of them hurrying. He smiled to himself. He bet Dodie didn't trust him either. He reached over to pull Lily's chemise down over her leg when the door flew open and Sarah Thoragood burst into the room followed by Mr. Thoragood, Bella Holt, Dodie, and several of the girls.

Zac had never had occasion to wonder what an avenging fury looked like, but if he had, he wouldn't have needed to wonder any longer. Sarah Thoragood's face was so red and misshapen with fury he could hardly recognize her.

"Lecher! Carnal beast! We have caught you in your foul nest with the broken body of your innocent prey!"

For once in his life, Zac was speechless.
