He was a coward. A pitiful excuse for a human being.

The perfect opportunity to be honest with Anna and admit who he was had dropped into his lap and he’d walked away from it. As he led her to the dining area, he thought of how Alex would chide him for not taking his advice. Perhaps he was right, but he had to believe she would prefer to complete her week first, as she had endured a lifetime where she’d had little choice but to fall in with her parents’ directives. This experience would give her the opportunity to choose something for herself for the first time since she had been that wild, spirited creature he’d gotten to know and love, and he did not want to be the one to steal that away from her. He had no doubt should she find out his identity now, she would leave before the week was out. And he couldn’t do that to her. She wanted this for herself, and damn, he wanted it for her as well, as long as he was the one to give it to her.

But he also knew the longer she was in the dark about his identity, the more she would feel betrayed. When he’d first concocted this plan, he’d believed he could seduce her enough that she would forgive him the subterfuge. Now he wasn’t so sure.

It was certainly the most hedonistic party at Maitland House, and he was glad Alex had agreed to arrange it to occur this week during Anna’s visit. If any session would prove that she would fit into this life—the life he wanted to share with her, then this was it. But his stomach churned with the fear of her rejection once he revealed himself to her.

As he approached the dining room door he hesitated. He turned to Anna before entering. Her head was lowered, but she stopped in place, as expected. She had taken to his instruction with more speed than he could ever have imagined, and the grace with which she stood belied the fact she was naked and bound, and soon to be in the presence of many others who would see her completely and in all her glory. If it were not for the small twitch
