Chapter Nine

Winston was in a dither. He paced the grand salon, his hair standing up on end. Probably because he kept dragging his fingers through it.

James leaned against the doorjamb feeling much refreshed after having changed his trousers. He wore a fresh shirt and a neatly tied cravat as well. “You needed to speak with me?”

The barrister froze, spun. “Oh thank God. My lord. You must come to Trueglove.”

“Must I?”

“There’s a problem with your betrothed.”

“A problem?” He could hardly be bothered. What he wanted, more than anything, was to return to the cottage, to Eloise. And finish what they’d started. Murky lust hummed in his veins.

He knew he would need to soothe her first. Apologize for his little white lie. Proffer a gift.

But first, this nonsense.

“I can say no more, my lord. Lord Trueglove has sworn me to secrecy. Bound me to deliver you to him.”

James bristled. “I am hardly Trueglove’s minion.”

“My lord. Please. You must come. I beg of you.” Winston was nearly in tears.

“I’m in the middle of something important.”

“Not as important as this, I assure you.”

Blast. The very last thing he wanted this morning was to make the twenty-mile ride to Trueglove. They were not yet wed and his bride was already impinging on his life. The idea he’d had last night to scuttle the betrothal arose again. It was looking better and better.

He scowled at Baxter. He didn’t mean to, but he was in a scowling mood. “Please take care of Eloise while I’m gone,” he commanded. “Make sure she has something to eat. Anything she needs.”

Baxter dipped his head. “My lord.”

“And have my horse prepared.”

“Already waiting in the stable yard.”

“Excellent. I’ll be back before nightfall.”

“Very good, sir.”

James strode through the door and down the stone steps, impatient to have this over and done with. Winston skittered in his wake.

He was going to Trueglove to end this ridiculous betrothal and then he’d return to Darlington, fuck Eloise and entice her to move from the cottage into the mansion.

And he would keep her.

Forever.
