It took a little negotiation before Stuart could disengage from his upbringing enough to allow her to have her way. But the sheer novelty of the idea won the day. Finally, he took her upstairs, showed her his bedroom and the drawer with the stacks of clean, old shirts that would no longer hold starch properly. He belted himself into a robe and finally, with some reluctance, left her to fend for herself without a maid, while he went to the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Bian was thankful to be alone. She needed time to gather her courage and her wits.

She spent the time reminding herself of what Stuart really was before this matter was too far out of hand for her to reverse it, while she thankfully stripped her garters and stockings and bathed herself using the room-temperature water in the jug beside the basin. After his time in the southern parts of Asia, Stuart was clearly more comfortable with heat, for the morning’s fire in the fireplace was radiating with a good supply of glowing coals and the room was still quite warm.

She selected the oldest and softest shirt she could find. It was nearly transparent with age and without the cuffs, it rolled up to her wrist without trouble. The front of the shirt came down almost to her knees. She looked in the cheval mirror quickly, to check. With her hair down and the abbreviated garment revealing her legs, she might have been back in Vietnam as a girl among women, soaking up feminine gossip along with political strategy, unnoticed and unwanted by all except her mother.

But the man waiting for her downstairs did want her. And he did not underestimate her.

She unfastened the next button on the shirt, so that the open neck lay against her breasts, showing the valley between. A casual movement would pull the shirt aside to show the swell of flesh and draw the eye.

As she went down the stairs to find the kitchen, she wondered if she had slipped the button undone to distract Stuart as her duty demanded, or to help herself to more of his wonderful attention.

She carefully avoided considering why she had not searched his room while she had been alone.
