The carriage bumped over a rough patch of road and Cassandra put out her hands to keep her balance as her bottom bounced on the seat, stifling a small wince.

The man sitting across from her barely shifted his weight, his long legs sprawled so his booted feet actually brushed her skirts. Broad shoulders against the upholstery, he was engrossed in reading several documents. Ross frowned over the papers in his hand, a faint furrow between his downy dark brows. Dressed more casually than usual, he wore no cravat.. His snowy white shirt was slightly open at the neck, though his jacket and breeches were perfectly tailored and his boot polished to a glossy shine. His impeccable appearance was no doubt the work of his efficient valet. Her new husband had already informed her that he would be hiring a lady’s maid as soon as they arrived in London.

Cassandra’s first reaction was to object, but she had reminded herself quickly about what Timothy had told her, and simply nodded. The last thing she wanted was someone hovering over her all the time, invading her privacy and fussing with her hair and clothes, but she had a sinking feeling he would insist.

Concessions.

It felt a little unfair that they came all from her side, but then again, no matter who she married, she would have been forced to accept her husband’s wishes and desires.

At least some of her handsome new husband’s desires were of the most pleasurable kind.

They rolled over another rut and she felt again that slight soreness between her legs. Maybe it was her inexperience and having led in general a sheltered life, but she had no idea men and women made love more than once in a night.

Much less four, five, six…she wasn’t sure exactly how many times they had engaged in sexual congress the night before, for it all became a haze of pleasure and sensation. His hands and mouth had touched her…everywhere. The memory of his mouth between her legs made her cheeks flush predictably, and she bit her lower lip. It had felt glorious, as had every single thing he had done to her. Cassandra had no idea if most brides felt so pleasantly exhausted the day after their wedding, but she certainly had a general feeling of both lassitude and physical contentment. She couldn’t have slept more than a few hours.

“You’re blushing.”

Those soft, amused words made her glance up in mortification. Ross had set aside the business papers he’d been looking over, and his arms were folded over his chest as he watched her. The corner of his mouth was lifted a little in the ghost of a small smile. One ebony brow arched. “Can I venture a guess as to why?”

“No.” Her voice sounded a little strangled, and she cleared her throat. “I was just thinking.”

“About last night?”

“No.”

He laughed out loud, his smile holding a slight masculine smugness. “My dear, you are the very worst liar in the world. Quite frankly, I’ve never known anyone who so openly shows every emotion.
