Lady Pirate

Chapter Ten

“I cannot believe you did that!” Meg snapped, climbing into the carriage and seating herself across from Valoree so that she could glare at her through the darkness. “What on earth is the matter with you? Are you deliberately trying to ruin any possibility of finding a husband and claiming your inheritance? Because if you are, you are doing a fine job of it!”

“There is nothing the matter with me,” Valoree snapped impatiently. “Scrantom was feeling me up with his stinky old foot under the table!”

“What?” Meg blinked in amazement, seeming at a loss for a moment; then she sighed impatiently. “Well, that may be, but an old man playing a little footsie”

“Footsie?” Valoree snorted her disgust. “He had his foot under my skirt, halfway up my thighs, and was still moving upward until I put a stop to it.”

Meg bit her lip. “Oh.”

“Aye, oh,” Valoree said in a snarl, turning her head to glare out the window of the stationary carriage. It was stationary because they were waiting for Henry and him to come out.

Him was how Valoree thought of Daniel Thurborne now. Just him. The man was a canker on her butt. A wart on her nose. A pus-​ridden carbuncle on her arse.

In short, he was making her life absolute hell. He was everywhere she went. There wasn’t a moment’s peace from him. Every walk, every dinner, every anything one of her suitors chose to do during their appointed times with her … he was there. Which might not have been so bad had he simply been present. More often than not his wit and charm turned what would have been hellacious hours spent in the company of boring, whining, or just plain weak men into bearable chores.

Unfortunately he did more than that. He teased, and chatted, and made her laugh, waiting the whole time like a vulture. And the moment the opportunity presented itself, he pounced, taking her in his arms and making her dizzy with passion, working her into a frenzy of want, then stopping and walking away, leaving her a bundled ball of knotted nerves. And it was hell.

He didn’t even have to kiss or touch her anymore. The moment she saw him, Valoree’s body began to hum with want. Should he brush against her innocently in passing, a jolt of desire shot through her like lightning. And forget fighting it. At first she had tried to avoid any situation he might take advantage of, but now she sought them out. Now she looked for them. He had worked his frustrating magic on her behind trees, in hallways, under stairways, and even, once, in a closet. But all each episode did was make her more miserable. And she was reaching the breaking point. Even losing control of her life didn’t seem like such a horrible price to pay to gain release from this terrible frustration. And that scared the devil out of her. Back-​from-​the-​Dead Red, scourge of the Caribbean, the pirate feared by the Spanish, French, and Dutch alike, was laid low by

the need for a man between her legs.
