Chapter Thirteen

Mary paced back and forth across John Preston's slightly worn parlor.

She hadn't meant to visit him, yet here she was, stewing, nettled, and impatient for his arrival. The pending encounter couldn't be avoided any more than she could stop breathing. A destiny had presented itself, and much to her dismay, it appeared to involve John.

Since their tryst days earlier, her world had been turned upside down. She couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, could barely attend to her duties in the Norwich household. The sole topic upon which she could dwell was John. While formerly, she'd vehemently denied any affinity, she had been lying—to him and to herself.

He was the only person she'd ever met who truly understood her, he read her mind, he comprehended her worries and woes. She was desperately lonely, and it was a relief to stumble upon someone who cared about her well-being, and even though he'd made her an indecent offer, she was convinced that his underlying feelings were genuine.

Though he would never propose anything more than an occasional tumble, she was thoroughly disposed to acquiesce. In her current state, she craved the attention and friendship he would provide, not to mention the salacious joys he would lavish upon her in an illicit liaison.

Over the years, she'd heard many stories about him and his lascivious habits. Where previously, she'd snobbishly condemned him for his behavior, now she was glad he'd had such extensive experience as a roué. After enduring a small sampling of the prurient delights in which he'd been schooled, she couldn't wait to willingly submit to further indoctrination.

She was neither a starry-eyed girl nor a chaste virgin, and definitely not the proper, upstanding lady her mother had raised her to be. To her undying shame, she'd played the part of whore to Findley Harcourt. The reasons were convoluted, complicated, and difficult to rationalize, so she'd quit trying.

Even though she was an intelligent, assertive woman, she'd let him take advantage of her in humiliating ways, notably the libidinous. He was her sole sexual partner, and what she knew of mating games, she'd learned from him.

But from her condensed interlude with John, it was eminently apparent that much had been brushed over—and downright omitted!—in her erotic education. Findley was a selfish man, so she'd adapted to his wants and needs, perceiving her role as that of intimate confidante who was there to soothe and comfort.

She'd never been bold enough to seek her own gratification, for it had never occurred to her that her bodily requirements might equal his own. Whenever she'd achieve satiation, she was invariably surprised that it happened, and she even hid her violent reactions from him, not wishing to have her response interfere with his.

Yet, with John, from the very first, he'd been intent on her satisfaction, and his enjoyment escalated simply by pushing her to heights of ecstasy. After having discovered this novel approach to lovemaking, she was absolutely enticed and could not stay away.

Footsteps sounded down the hall. She recognized his determined step, and her anxiety spiraled.
