Doesn't he know how to take offense? she wondered. Why should he bother himself when he knows he has won?

"I trust your skill in bed rivals your wit."

His voice was caressingly soft. Despite herself, the stark image of him as he had looked with Margot rose to her mind. Margot, writhing and crying out in mewling whispers, as he thrust his hard-muscled belly and hips against her. Margot enjoyed him ... no act, that.

"What troubles you, sweetheart? You look lost in a dream. I can but hope that I am in it with you."

"The only place I wish you to be, Mr. Saxton, is with the devil!"

But her cheeks flushed, telling him he had caught her in a lie. "As intimate as we will be, Giana, would you not begin to call me Alex? When you moan my name with pleasure, you'll find Mr. Saxton' won't do at all."

"You will find out soon enough, Mr. Saxton, what names I think appropriate for you."

As they strolled through the wide lanes that cut through the gardens, he held her hand tucked firmly in the crook of his arm. Giana discovered he was appallingly knowledgeable, spouting out Latin names as readily as he had French wines. He lost interest in her lessons when they reached the glassed hothouse where the orchids were tended. She felt somewhat put out when he struck up a long conversation with the gardener who cared for the delicate flowers, and spent nearly two hours reverently leaning over the blossoms, extolling their beauty more to himself than to anyone else present. They had to practically run to catch the last boat back to London.

"I hope you enjoyed yourself," she growled at him when they at last scrambled onto the boat.
