Chapter 7

Lucia’s hands trembled as they skimmed her body. This was the point of no return, the point where desire had entrapped not only Ronan but her as well. She’d become a victim of her own strategy.

The wicked game they played had stopped being simply that at some murky point she could not place; perhaps it had been when he’d told her of Jonathon’s betrayal and she’d seen the hurt flare in his eyes—the hurt of a friend, not the anger of a double-crossed spymaster. Perhaps it had been when he’d recounted Jonathon’s last confession and without being told she’d noted all that his actions in those moments implied, how his thoughts and choices had been to protect others. Even his choice of dance partner had been done with an eye to insurance. He had not known there would be trouble that night, but any time information was moved, there was risk, and he’d planned for it by choosing the indomitable Sarah Caldwell, knowing she’d step in if need demanded it. In the telling of those tales, Ronan St. Simon, unassailable, unattainable English spymaster, had become human and therein laid the danger to her.

She wanted him. She wanted that man who so selflessly put others first, who fought for right with his body and his mind in the face of great odds, and who looked at her as if she could be the sum of his world. She didn’t deserve such a man and here he was, offering himself to her in exchange for her trust and one small envelope.

Her trust was no small thing to give. Lucia sat in her chair, legs spread wide, hand on her mons, her own need demanding compensation in the wake of having provided pleasure for another. Had this been how Jonathon felt with Marcus? Tormented by the conundrum of how to want without trusting? Quite obviously Jonathon had decided the two could not coexist exclusive of the other. He’d paid for his decision with his life. Now she was faced with the same choice. Could she have Ronan without surrendering her trust? It was far easier to surrender one’s body.

She touched herself, slipping a finger inside her slick folds, Ronan’s bold gaze spurring her on. Her own immediate pleasure would not take long to achieve.

“I can make it better for you.” Ronan’s silken tones purred. “You should not have to settle for mediocre pleasure.” He held up his hands in victory before bending down to untie the cords at his legs.

“How? When?” Lucia stammered in amazement.

“Don’t worry, just moments ago.” Ronan rose, rubbing his wrists, only slightly unsteady on his legs after the vodka and ropes. “Your knots are good.”

Lucia bristled. Good? The word was practically an insult. She was a master with knots and he’d reduced her art to child’s play.

Ronan laughed at her chagrin. “Really, your knots are great. I couldn’t have freed myself any sooner even if I’d wanted to, if that’s what you’re thinking.”

Lucia stood, giving up on her own satisfaction, her body sensitive and aching with the need for physical completion.
