Chapter Eighteen

Jenny

Bevan got a warm fire in the hearth and heated a tea kettle to offer me chamomile before bed.

"You've had a hell of a night," he said, handing me a cup with orange peel, honey and a little milk added. "I'm sure you're exhausted but your mind must be racing."

"I really thought you might be mad at me."

"Why would I be mad at you? Because you made the enemy of my family into an Adonis?"

“It’s not a joke."

“It’s pretty funny, though.” He smiled at me. “And Piers looked so freaked out by it.”

I took the tea but then put it down again. "I want out of these clothes before I enjoy this drink."

"I've been waiting all night to get you out of those clothes. Because, of course, you look so uncomfortable. No other reason..." He spoke gently into my ear as he walked behind me and pulled a pin out of my hair. A lock fell on my shoulder.

"I am uncomfortable."

"I'm not that comfortable myself. My shoes pinch and this cravat is strangling me slowly."

"So you also need some help."

"Yes." He started unhooking the dress and as it fell to the ground I realized I had finally stopped noticing the sexy underwear.

"Wow," Bevan said. "I didn't realize there was so much going on under there."

"Or so little?"

His warm hands spread over my thighs and snapped the tops of my stockings against my skin. His body, even more warm, pressed against mine, holding me close.

"Get this corset thing off," I said.

"Yes, ma'am." He gave my hips a little squeeze and then started un-popping another set of hooks.

"I really worried you'd be jealous or something. I couldn't believe that was in my subconscious! I was just telling Piers that I was sure he could find love even if he was ugly. With someone."

"You said that? Ouch."

"I said he reminded me of Mr. Rochester..."

"Who is that?"

"From Jane Eyre."

"Oh." Bevan shrugged.

"Boys don't read Jane Eyre."

"I didn't. Did Piers?"

"Uh...yes. He did."

Bevan laughed. "I would have bet he did. Well, I don't think I'll ever be the jealous type. Unless you give me a really, really good reason to be jealous. Like letting Piers or Variel do this..." He kissed the corner of my mouth. "Or this..." He slid down to suck on my nipple just to the point where I squeezed my thighs, feeling a sudden gush of wetness hit the insubstantial underwear. "Or this." I let out a little shriek of pleasure as Bevan pulled the strip of fabric aside and licked that very same wetness.

"Ohhh...no...never." I clutched his shoulder, steadying myself.

“Are you sure you haven’t been tempted by Daisy and her bond marriage?” he asked, after the briefest pause.

“I—I would never think of it.”

He cocked his head a fraction. “I can’t believe you haven’t even thought of it.”

“Bevan, do you want me to think about it?”

“I certainly want you to consider your options so that you know I’m really your favorite option.”

I wasn’t sure what to say, as it sounded almost like he had thought about bond marriages himself in the last few days.
