A week later Arlie sat down to dinner, her gaze straying to the head of the table where Dominic usually sat. He was still in London. The past days had been excruciatingly long. Not even her lessons had helped pass the time.

With every hour Arlie yearned for the sight of Dominic. When would he return? She tried to tell herself he really had business to handle, yet part of her wondered if he intentionally stayed away. After that afternoon in the meadow, when he had brought her to her first climax, he had become sullen, speaking only about trivial things such as her lessons, pretending the intimate moment had never occurred.

But he had touched her, and she relived that afternoon almost every waking hour.

Her body had betrayed her that day, but her mind had not. She knew she still possessed her virginity, but what she had experienced in his arms had made her feel like a wanton, out of control. Worse still, she had taken the greatest pleasure from it. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined a man’s touch could be so wonderful.

She realized with a pang that she wanted it to happen again. She wanted Dominic as a lover with a desperation that terrified her.

But she had no idea what he thought of her. Did he find her lacking as a lover? Did he regret what had happened between them?

She picked at her food, glanced at the clock, and with a sigh, pushed the plate away. It was nearly seven o’clock, and she wondered if her evening would be interrupted by yet another man. The suitors who visited were kind and courteous, but try as she might, Arlie could not picture herself married to any one of them. Men—they spouted poetry and gave her trinkets, yet there wasn’t one among them that made her feel the way Dominic did.

Arlie jumped as the door to the dining room flew open and Dominic strode in. He faltered when he saw her, then grinned boyishly. Arlie stood, and could not help but grin. She could tell he had been drinking by the way his glazed eyes brushed over her, his expression sinfully seductive.

She drank in everything about him. So handsome—it hurt just to look at him. She pushed back the chair and took a step toward him when a gorgeous brunette walked into the room, her red lips curving into a provocative smile as her heels clicked on the marble floor.

Dominic pulled out a chair and fell into it. The brunette followed, landing on his lap, her arms encircling Dominic’s broad shoulders. The blood roared in Arlie’s ears and she stood frozen to the spot.

The woman licked Dominic’s ear, as though Arlie did not stand ten feet away, watching them.

Just when she thought things couldn’t get worse, Langley and another harlot came in, their laughter filling the room. “Could I borrow a bedroom, old man?” he asked crudely, releasing a growl while kissing the woman’s neck.
