CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Pippa kept Molly running the day of the dance. This may not have been her royal debut, but in a way, it was every bit as important and she must put together a beautiful outfit, even if some of the accessories were inferior to what she was used to. She was debuting herself as a spy for the crown. Her effort would please King George, and she was certain word of her subterfuge would reach his ears soon since she could not harbor any notion other than a successful outcome. But in order to gain the approval of the king, she needed to ferret out of Daniel some information that would be of use. It was no use to say you’re a spy if you can’t deliver the goods. So tonight, she was after the goods. And in order to catch Daniel off his guard, she must present to him a picture of such loveliness he would become putty in her hands.

She recalled the afternoon aboard ship when she had unbound her breasts and he surprised her. How he remarked on their size and, despite his harsh words, kept returning his gaze to her bosom. Tonight, that same bosom would be on display for him to ogle to his heart's content. The turquoise silk gown’s off the shoulders design, coupled with its low cut and tight stays helped make certain her own goods would be front and center, the better to capture his. It wouldn’t take much at all for Daniel to tug the gown down even further and expose a breast to the night air. To his mouth. Maybe she could entice him to the terrace and let nature take its course.

Her knees weakened to the point where she had to sit, at the mere thought of Daniel’s mouth on her breast.

Molly steamed the shiny ribbons, starched the petticoats, selected the jewelry from Aunt Bernice’s collection, and helped Pippa select the ideal scent of lilies of the valley to wear. Pippa placed a generous amount of the cologne between her breasts, so when Daniel leaned into her, he’d get a good whiff. Her hair had grown back a bit over the past few months, and Molly fashioned it into a chignon, using some of Bernice’s clips to hold Pippa’s hair in place. She glanced at Molly’s handiwork in the mirror, approving of the way it swept up off her neck. The drop earrings glimmered in the candlelight, providing the perfect finishing touch. Pippa stood in the center of the small room and pivoted in a slow circle while Molly cast a critical eye on her.

“You are stunning, Lady Philippa.” Molly’s whispered words floated across the air.

“Thanks to you, I’m now ready to impress everyone.”

Molly grinned. “Including that handsome captain of the Gladys Maria?”

Pippa took her time answering. She picked up her gloves and fan from the dressing table. If
