Regina slid her bare feet to the floor, tears of hurt and anger filling her eyes. Tonight she had left one of her bedroom doors invitingly open and she looked outside. There was no fog. The sky was ink-blue, lit brilliantly by an incandescent full moon. Her gaze lowered. In his room across the courtyard the lights were on.
He was also awake.
In an instant she made a decision, one she dared not dwell on. She hurled herself from the room. A quick glance around showed her that the rest of the house was cloaked in darkness. As she passed the fountain, her steps slowed.
He had both doors fully open, the screens closed. Regina's heart began to pound too fast and too hard. Her chest felt heavy. The night was cool, but she was too warm, even in her thin nightgown. What she was doing was unbelievably daring, unbelievably aggressive. Most ladies would be thankful to be spared their husbands' attentions. Regina almost paused. She had never acted so impulsively before, or so decisively. Yet she could not stop, not even to wonder at herself. Regina moved into the full glow of the room's lights. She gazed through the screen doors.
About to knock, her hand froze. Her heart slammed. Slade was sitting up in his bed wearing only a pair of short summer drawers. There was a glass of brandy on the table by his bedside, the same table that held the small lamp he had left on. He wasn't reading or smoking or doing anything that she could discern. He was just sitting there, awake and alone.
She trembled. As far as she was concerned, he was naked. She should not look, but she could no more look away than will her heart to cease beating so madly. His skin glistened with a sheen of sweat, despite the cool sea breeze. Although relaxed, he was so sinewed that the muscles in his arms rippled with his slightest movement, as did the tendons in his abdomen. His chest was washboard-hard. His legs were long and hard and sculpted of sinew and muscle and flesh and bone.
