Chapter 10

Over the next week Luke had gone out of his way to avoid Louise. His wife. The demure lady’s companion who had turned into a hellion the moment he touched her. He sat at his desk in his room, twisting the quill between his fingers and wondering how the hell he’d lost all control the night they’d consummated the marriage.

The memory of her welcoming body, her bold kiss and reactions to his touch shot heat to his cock. It twitched, ached, and had damn well been quite the nuisance this last week. Whenever he’d smelled jasmine he’d looked to see if she was near.

If he heard her laughter in the halls of his home, he’d wanted to seek her out and see what was so funny.

He was damn well turning into a fool who was being led by a woman. Their nights out on the town had been pleasant, for her at least. He’d merely accompanied her and then done all he could to bury himself in the gentlemen’s card games and stay well away from her touch.

The last thing he needed was to dance with her. If he touched her again, there was no chance that it would end with such a simple embrace. He’d be tempted to carry her from the room over his shoulder like a Viking and take her up against a wall somewhere in the house.

The thought of doing just that had him adjusting his seat.

He swore and stood, striding to the window. He clasped the wood surrounds and stared at the manicured grounds, the flowerbeds in full bloom and green, leafy trees. He willed his body to get a damn grip upon itself.

A delectable figure in deep green came into view and his body stilled. Louise kicked off her slippers and walked the few steps off the terrace and onto the lawn. She strolled about the yard, leaning down to smell the lavender and rosemary. He watched her for a moment and jumped when a light knock sounded on his door.

“Come in,” he said.

The door opened and Stephen’s blond locks popped around the door. “My lord,” he said, an anxious tone to his words. “May I come in?”

Luke gestured for him to enter. “Of course, come in, Stephen.” Luke sat back at the desk in his room and nodded for the young man to seat himself on the vacant chair across from him.

Louise’s brother glanced about the room, taking in the furnishings before glancing back at him. He looked like his sister, more so than Sophie did. Luke smiled, taking pity on the lad who wrung his hands in his lap as if he were in some sort of trouble.

“What can I help you with?” Luke asked.

Stephen settled himself and turned his attention to Luke. “I was hoping, my lord, that you would teach me how to ride a horse. I’ve never learned before, you see. We did not have the means for such animals. Although Auntie did have a cat, but, well, you know what I mean.
