How strangely surreal this all was. Ian looked down on the crowd with a sense of detachment that lifted him above the rabble. Except his was pure luck. He was no better than the rest of them, but for narrow accident of birth and dint of will. Parlaying his father’s beginnings, he’d turned a fairly profitable mine into a hefty income for what remained of his family.

What was the point if not to build more family?

He wasn’t any better than the people who gambled and drank below. He was luckier. Throwing that away would be foolish.

If anything, he should be looking to marry.

Not dallying in a whore’s rented room. He hadn’t stooped so far as to play with those so much less fortunate than him. The woman on his arm was dazzling. She was an amazing example of English womanhood, including her recklessness. That edge of hers conquered nations and made the empire grand.

Now, when she’d been an orgasmic puddle not ten minutes ago, she stood with her chin up and her spine a casual, shallow curve of attitude and arrogance in a feminine package.

He was coming to rather like the combination.

“Fastest,” he said, drawing the word into a slow promise. “I’m curious. Have you somewhere better to be?”

She kept her face turned outward, toward the crowd. “Under you.”

She’d have felt his response in the full-body jolt that wedged out from his ribs. He’d almost been able to forget his body. He was hard, yes. That became almost secondary since he knew he’d receive relief eventually. Besides, he sometimes liked the slow torture of unrequited excitement. Best to revel.

Not this time. He wanted. Now. He folded his hand flat over hers where it curled around his biceps.

“You think it’s so simple as that?” He kept his gaze averted as well. His lurking laughter grew in direct counterpoint to the pull of his lust. “You’ve tried me before and I turned you down.”

“True.” She leaned enough that the side of her breasts rubbed against his fingertips. “But that was before you tasted me.”

“True,” he echoed.

Her mouth curved. Her neck was a white column of tendons and softness mixed together. Locks of red hair curled around her shoulders. “You see?”

At this moment, he couldn’t remember one single reason not to indulge and take her. “You’re forgetting one thing.”

“Am I?”

He liked her. So damn much. “We’ve nowhere to go.”

“Let me take care of that. I already told you my home was best.”

He almost laughed. Because really, what in the name of God was going on here? Was he seducer or the one being seduced? Maybe a bit of both. He’d let a little slip of a girl wrap him around her finger.

His body coiled at the memory of her under his mouth. Silken flesh. Tender skin. Her responsive moans and the way she’d clutched at his hair. “Now?” he asked hoarsely.

“In a…” She broke off. Her eyes narrowed. “Near the front of the room. Near the faro table. Do you see?”

A woman stood there, facing the dealer.
