Hugo watched the entrance to the Lefroys’ ballroom like a man starved of water looked for rain. For the last week he’d thought of nothing else but Lizzie Doherty and the time they’d spent together at Lady X’s estate. Not to mention the delectable kisses she’d bestowed. That the little minx had hightailed it back to London the following day was not what he’d expected to wake up to find, after a very restless night thinking of nothing other than her sweet lips.

He rubbed his jaw, reminding himself it was for the best that she had left. Their interactions had become more and more carnal during the days they were together, and a few times he’d had to restrain himself from begging for more.

He’d left for his own estate the same day she departed, determined to move on with his plan of marrying Miss Fox before his uncle could claim his inheritance. Time was running out for him to find a rich wife, and Miss Fox had shown she was open to such an arrangement. Therefore he’d pushed the idea of Lizzie from his mind. They had been at Lady X’s house party in disguise, after all, so he could forget the fact he’d known who she was the moment she’d walked into the parlor that day. He’d made no promises, no declarations of undying love.

Whatever love was.

A vision in gold came into view, laughing at something her friend was saying before she curtsied to their hosts and entered the ballroom. His heart did a little tumble in his chest as he took her in, relishing every move, every gesture she made while unaware of his notice.

Taking a sip of brandy, he ignored the tittering about him over his latest scandal. Well, two scandals in fact, but with his reputation, they were nothing new. If the ton actually knew whom the lady was he was supposed to have ruined, it would be different. How delicious they would find such information. Not that they would care that he hadn’t ruined her at all…although he couldn’t deny that the thought had crossed his mind numerous times during their few days together.

Never had he felt such acute disappointment as he had the morning he’d woken up and found she’d left the house party. The whole day had turned for the worse from that point on. He’d ordered his manservant to pack his things, and by luncheon he was on the road heading back to his country estate.

He had stayed there for a few days, catching up with his steward and ensuring everything was in order before he headed back to London to see out the end of the Season. Not to mention securing Miss Fox and her thirty thousand pounds before the end of the month.

Now the vixen named Lizzie Doherty glided straight past him without so much as a by-your-leave, and his annoyance doubled.

Not only at her, but himself. He should be glad she wasn’t demanding anything of him, allowing him to court Miss Fox and solve all his financial woes.
