“That was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be,” Tom said, as the carriage traveled through the quiet streets.

He sat across from Lauren but she could smell the faint scent of a richly aromatic cigar and the barest hint of the brandy he’d sipped and the incredibly, wonderful masculine fragrance that was him. He took up so much space inside the carriage, not because he was huge, but because she was simply so aware of his long legs and hard muscles and broad chest and wide shoulders. Take a good, hard look at the man her cousin had suggested. As though Lauren had any choice. As though every aspect of his appearance didn’t draw her eye, wasn’t pleasing. As though she wasn’t aware of each breath he took. As though she couldn’t make out the outline of his hands in the dark resting on his thighs, couldn’t clearly envision them reaching for her buttons—

“What are you thinking?” he asked.

“Lydia”—she cleared her throat hoping to make her voice stop sounding like a hinge in need of oiling—“will be hosting the first ball of the Season next week. I was simply making a mental list of everything we need to address before then.” Liar, liar. “I suppose we should make arrangements for dance lessons—”

“I know how to dance.”

She laughed lightly. “The dancing here is a bit different than what you’re used to, Tom.”

“I know how they dance over here. Lydia’s stepfather gave a bunch of us cowboys a few lessons right before her eighteenth birthday. I think that was part of his birthday gift to her: making sure she didn’t get her toes stepped on.”

“Oh, yes, she’d mentioned that you’d danced, she just hadn’t indicated that you were very good at it.”

“I don’t know why she would.”

Because it was a part of him that Lauren wanted to know about. She was greedy for any little tidbit of information. Glancing out the window at the night, she didn’t know why it bothered her to think of her cousin dancing with Tom, being held in his arms, feeling the warmth from his body…of dancing with him when Lauren never had. Surely she wasn’t jealous. No, of course not. She was simply mystified that there were so many aspects of Tom with which she was unfamiliar, things that he had experienced that she had no idea about.
