“It isn’t locked.” She turned her head to point it out. That small gesture broke the cord holding them. The door stood slightly ajar.

Dear God! A house full of servants loyal to the Duke of Sudbury and Andrew was ready to seduce his daughter on her Axminster carpet. Good sense flooded back into him, and he released her.

“Excellent idea, Lady Georgiana,” he said with unnatural force loud enough to be heard beyond the door. “If we’re to bring this project into a whole piece,” he continued in a voice so gruff it was as if the words were torn from his throat, “we had best continue.”

Andrew limped over to the table and put it and distance between them. He looked up to find Georgiana staring back, hurt vivid on her face. He turned away, but he could still feel her eyes on the back of his head.

“Record your proposed translation, my lady, and make notes for the commentary.” His words sounded harsher than he intended. He feared what she might say if he gave her the opportunity to speak.

Faint shuffles in the hall told him all he needed to know. This house was not safe, not safe enough for a schoolmaster’s son to make love to a Duke’s daughter. If he did what his body urged, her reward would be humiliation, harassment, and hurt. He wanted to protect her from it even if she wouldn’t protect herself.

Andrew picked up the pen and began to write. His entire body betrayed him. His eyes refused to focus. His hand wrote shaky words on vellum, but his mind gave no meaning to them. The rest of him, body and soul, yearned with an ache that destroyed all rational thought for the woman who stood across the room as still as marble. Her indignation filled the air as thoroughly as her lilac scent.
