CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Letty could hardly contain her nerves as she followed Jack’s butler to the parlor.

“May I get you anything, my lady?” he asked.

She shook her head. “Nothing, thank you. What was your name?”

“Lawson, my lady,” he said with a nod.

“Thank you, Lawson.”

She smiled at him as he stepped from the room and then exhaled a long breath. Jack’s servants had to be buzzing below stairs about her being here not once but twice. She could only imagine the uproar would be caused amongst the staff by a long-missing master suddenly appearing, then engaging in what was quite obviously an affair with a lady. She supposed there was some danger in that fact. They could spread their tales outside these walls.

But right now, waiting for Jack to arrive, she didn’t really give a damn. If she came upon that bridge, she would cross it then.

Right now she wanted to focus on tonight. As ordered, she had brought The Ladies Book of Pleasures. It was tucked into her reticule even now. She set the bag on a chair and smiled as she tried to imagine what chapter Jack would want to read together. There were so many wicked things in that book. Now she found herself wanting to try them—at least some of them—before she surrendered to the staid life her parents had recently been insisting she pursue.

The door behind her opened and she turned, expecting to find Jack making an entrance. Although it was him who stepped into the chamber, she was surprised by his appearance. He was dressed nicely, but there was a smudge of dirt on his cheek. And his face looked drawn and haggard, circles shadowing his dark eyes.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t here to greet you, Letitia,” he said, shutting the door behind himself and going straight to the sideboard, where he poured a very tall glass of whiskey.

“It’s fine,” she said slowly, watching as he took a few long gulps. He set the half-drunk glass aside and approached her.

“God, you look beautiful,” he said, tilting his head. “Exactly what I’ve been waiting for.”

She smiled at his words, but even as he took her in his arms she saw the distraction in his eyes. Still, when he kissed her, her worries melted away. He tasted strong, like the liquor mixed with a flavor that was his and his alone. She wrapped her arms around his neck and opened to him, sliding her tongue across his and losing herself in his warmth.

He grunted beneath his breath and finally set her aside. “Oh yes,” he drawled. “Exactly what I need. Shall we go upstairs, Letitia?”

She was about to nod when his stomach made a great rumble. Her eyes went wide. “Jack, how long was it since you last ate?”

“What?” He shook his head. “Oh, it doesn’t matter.”

“It most certainly does matter,” she insisted, setting aside the flaming needs of her body to focus on him. “How long?”

“The lady is trying to run the show,” he said with a chuckle. “Very well.
