Fourteen

My Dearest Grandson Lucas,

Some considered Lord Chesterfield pompous, but that was never the case with him. He was simply a Master at life’s little lessons. Read this one and remember it when life becomes difficult as I can attest to the fact that it certainly will: “I always made the best of the best, and never made bad worse by fretting.”

Your loving Grandmother,

Lady Elder

Morgan was doomed.

Arianna was right. He was seducing her. But why in the hell he was doing it, he had no idea. But did she know what she was asking him? He didn’t think she did, but he certainly knew the ramifications of seducing an innocent, and he wasn’t prepared to accept any of them.

Arianna’s gaze raked like hot coals over his body. And what the devil was he thinking to take off his shirt and offer to dry her feet?

Because she enchanted him.

There was no mystery, no doubt of his attraction to her. It was the simple truth.

His hands lay innocently on her leg. He made no attempt to move them. Bright moonlight shone down from the twinkling black sky, making it very easy for Morgan to read Arianna’s face. Her eyes were glazed with passion. She was as aroused as he was. The first time he had kissed her, he’d recognized her untapped sensuality, and ever since, he had longed to explore it with her. And right now, he was dying to bring it to life and release it, and drown himself in it.

She was eager for his touch, and that made his wanting her all the more difficult. He didn’t know why, but unlike all the other proper young ladies he had kissed, she put no boundaries on him. Perhaps it was that she had lived in another country and felt freer; maybe it was her advanced age, but then, it didn’t really matter why. The undeniable truth was that instead of pushing him away, as any sensible young lady should do, she always eagerly accepted his touch.

And while he was thrilled she was so willing, he couldn’t oblige her. He was determined not to take away her innocence, no matter how alluring she was. It was a long-standing vow he made to himself years ago. There were enough women, who had already known a man, willing to share their beds with him; Morgan had never wanted to trifle with an innocent.

But here he was, tempted, really tempted for the first time in his life to break his vow and give in to Arianna Sweet’s charms.

Suddenly, Arianna smiled at him. Why the devil was she smiling? This was no smiling matter. Damnation, she had to know that taking her innocence was a hell of a thing to ask of him.

She placed her hands on the ground behind her again and leaned back. “Has the cat got your tongue?” she asked when he remained silent for so long after her provocative statement.

Couldn’t she see how weak he was where she was concerned? He had to stop the tension building between them.
