As soon as it was humanly possible to disengage from the ball without giving offense, Vaughn walked Natasha to her chamber and gave her a chaste kiss on the temple as a good night offering. He knew she would have invited him inside if he had given her any opportunity or encouragement to do so, but he had ducked that issue with bloody-minded ruthlessness. The last thing he wanted was to be delayed any longer from finding Elisa and talking to her. It was already well past midnight and many of the guests had departed already. Elisa and Rufus had left for their separate chambers long ago.

He cursed cruel fate. What had possessed Natasha to attempt her clumsy seduction tonight of all nights? Well, perhaps it was understandable if one considered both Caroline’s and William’s veiled approval of the match. Perhaps Caroline had even coached the girl on the finer points of catching a man. From all accounts, Caroline had managed to keep a string of beaus panting for her during her glorious debutante season.

Elisa’s ill-fated arrival on the scene, however, was no mystery. He’d only taken one look at the delight on Rufus’ face to know the cause.

Both those points needed to be explained to her. He had not failed to notice the way her face had blanched and her hands had begun to tremble as he’d disentangled himself from Natasha’s clinging arms. After Elisa’s evening of fielding barbs and insults, she did not need to be left believing he was the one who had engineered the intimate moment on the terrace with Natasha.

He reached Elisa’s door and looked around. No one was in sight. Quickly, he tried the handle. It turned.

Relieved, he opened the door and slipped inside.

A flickering candle cast a glow upon her sleeping form. He approached, his relief fading as he took in the sight of her. Her pale hair spilled against the pillow, free and abandoned. Her lips were slightly open and pink, full and inviting. Her dark lashes, spiked from tears, cast shadows against her high cheekbones.

His stomach tightened. Had he made her cry?

Wondering what she dreamed about, he reached out and lightly ran the back of his fingers along her soft jaw, his thumb grazing her full bottom lip.

She sighed and turned her head, exposing her swanlike neck to his gaze, which shifted lower to breasts that were barely covered by the soft, white silk nightgown. The decadent fabric’s dull luster and the way it clung to her breasts, outlining them, caused his breath to catch. He could imagine the feel of the gown under his hand and the soft breast beneath…

Blood flowed to his groin, filling his cock until it throbbed. He’d had an older woman before, an instructor of French who had showed him the true meaning of a few exotic words. It had been an exciting time in his life, an affair he’d wanted to continue, even though he knew their situation and her marriage had made it impossible. He suspected, though, that Elisa could eclipse the pleasure she’d displayed entirely.
