The worst day of Alexander Sullivan’s life began in deceptive pleasantness. He was in a warm bed, entangled in the limbs of a lovely young wench with the bouncy, blonde curls of a cherub, clear blue eyes of an angel and a mouth sent to tempt the most pious of saints.

She was watching him wake as the first rays of sunshine streaked through a tiny gap in the heavy brocade curtains, her eyes glinting with anticipation and her sinful tongue darting out to moisten rose pink lips. She was a little older than Alexander had initially thought; more woman than girl, but still a couple of years shy of his own twenty-four.

Alexander felt himself harden despite an immense, ale-induced headache and the weariness of a night spent entertaining the entirely unvirginal woman.

He had several vices, not least of which was sex. Life as a soldier often left him without the company of the fairer sex for months on end. On his leave days he made a point of making up for lost time.

This particular minx had brazenly felt him up in the alehouse as he went to pay for his third jug of ale and invited him back to her place of residence. Her dress and jewellery hinted at wealth, and Alexander guessed she was thumbing her nose at her father by mixing with the rabble. He prided himself on not discriminating against noble blood and hesitated only long enough to down his jug of ale before accepting her invitation.

Being hit on by women wasn’t anything unusual for Alexander; he’d been gifted with the looks of an Archangel. The sort of looks that had been getting him any girl he wanted since he was twelve years old. His only physical flaw was his build; he had a lean, some might say, delicate physique. Add to that the ethereal sort of beauty that boys were not supposed to have, not unless they were drawn to other men, which he wasn’t, and he was the inevitable target of many forms of abuse. On the plus side he’d learned how to fight early in life and how to run fast. Very fast. Fighting bigger built, bully boys as well as fending off the advances of certain older men had simply been a part of everyday life.

By the time he was eighteen, despite his lack of size, he was so proficient with a sword that he’d had no trouble enlisting in King George’s army. Once the other men in his regiment had gotten over his looks they’d settled into a routine of unoffensive, ribald teasing which Alexander bore with good humour, because he knew they secretly envied his ability to charm women without even trying.

He squinted at his timepiece on the table beside the bed and grinned; he had just enough time for one more round of fun before he needed to make his way back to the garrison and report for duty. He rolled over and pinned the squirming, giggling woman beneath his body and bent his head to capture her fiendish mouth.
