Ezra wanted to commit murder. He had never been so angry in his entire life. Teddy had taken his breath away as she entered the ballroom. Then the crush of people in the ballroom made it impossible to reach her side, and she was surrounded by gentlemen vying for her attention. He wasn’t surprised all the men had nearly run to her side. Had they filled up her dance card already? He hoped not. Ezra wanted to dance with her again. He’d prefer a waltz, but he’d take whatever she had left. He hated dancing, but he loved having her in his arms. He’d dance all night for that pleasure alone.

He pushed his way through until he was almost to her where she was speaking to her sister. Ezra only had to take a few more steps and he’d be right next to her. As he was about to do that, a gentleman strode up to Teddy and held out his hand to her. She smiled at him and placed her hand in his as he led her to the dance floor. Ezra’s heart thundered in his chest. She was dancing with the Marquess of Hawthorne. Not just any dance either. The strands of the waltz started playing. Ezra had to retain every ounce of control he could muster not to storm onto the floor and interrupt them. He wanted to have her in his arms, and it was nearly killing him to watch as another man led her in the waltz.

Sheffield came to stand beside him. “Graystone and his wife seem to remain occupied with their guests. When do you plan on having your meeting with Lady Theodora?”

“As soon as I can wrench her from her plethora of admirers,” he nearly growled out the words. He was not accustomed to sharing her, and he was not liking it. Not at all.

“Sounds like there is a little trouble in paradise,” Fox said, then grinned. “Please tell me you’re not in love with her. You reassured me you were not in the market for a wife.”

“I wasn’t,” he said.

“But you are now?” Sheffield lifted a brow. “I suppose that the right woman might change a man’s perspective.”

Ezra would have to agree with that statement. “Graystone fell in love and married. That should have been a sign it could happen to us as well.”

“That’s what I was trying to tell you,” Fox exclaimed. He threw up his hands in the air. “Why does no one ever listen to me?”

“Because you often speak nonsense?” Sheffield grinned. He patted Fox’s shoulder in a reassuring manner. “You shouldn’t be overly concerned. No sane woman would willing agree to be your wife. I’m sure you’ll remain safe for many years to come.”

Fox glared at him. “You are not helping.”

“How about I find Graystone’s brandy and share it with you? Will that make it all better?” Sheffield’s tone was cajoling, like he was attempting to soothe a spoiled child.

“Yes,” Fox said. “But you are not fooling me. I know you want the brandy as much as I do.
