Haley stretched slowly out on his bed, lying on her stomach, even wiggling her toes in innocent pleasure at how delightful Galen’s attentions were—at any speed. She turned her face into the pillow to breathe in the sandalwood scent. His rush in the carriage had caught her by surprise, but no less than her own rush to have him inside of her again. She was sure it wasn’t the behavior of a lady to melt at the very idea of being rogered soundly with the London public on the other side of a thin carriage wall and curtains—but she’d melted nonetheless.

She’d even forgotten her discomfort with small spaces, as she’d clutched at the seat and walls for balance while he pressed into her so deeply she’d almost cried at the myriad of sensations.

He’d looked at her exactly as he had when he’d watched her during the music concert, and Haley had fearlessly given herself into his hands, reveling in his raw lust for her body—and accepted that Galen had been right when he’d spoken in Hyde Park. I needed to be swept off my feet, and if this afternoon’s romp doesn’t qualify, then I’m sure Galen will demonstrate it soon enough.

“What are you thinking over there, Miss Moreland?”

“I’m wondering how it’s possible that I can . . . be so wicked. . . .” She blushed. “This all seems so . . . unlike me. But when you look at me like that . . . I can’t remember being any different.” She covered her eyes. “I’m not making sense. And it’s foolish to think I’ve come this far and can still feel so . . . conflicted.”

“It’s only natural. A lifetime of civilized habits can’t be dropped without a few echoes of hesitation and doubt, can they?”

“You don’t seem to hesitate, Galen.”

“I know what I want.” He came back to the bed, stretching himself out alongside her body, and began lazily trailing his fingers down the bare skin of her back and making her shudder in delight. He circled back upward over her shoulder blades before following the line of her spine and teasing the soft rise of her bottom with his whisper-light strokes.

“What do you want?” Haley glanced at him flirtatiously over her shoulder. “And be as specific as you can, sir.”

His emerald eyes seemed to darken for a moment, and it was as if they were back on that darkened balcony. He looked dangerous, and at the same time so alluring, her breath caught in her throat.

“At the end of the day, I want all the scales to finally balance so that I can sleep,” he said, and then planted a lingering kiss on her shoulder. “No less than any man, Haley.”

“I’m having trouble picturing you just as ‘any man,’ Galen. For I cannot think of anyone I’ve met who . . . looks at me as you do.”

“And how do I look at you?” he asked, gently pushing her onto her back so that he could continue the light sweep of his fingers across her skin.
