She continued to stare out of the window, not daring to turn and face him. The air was charged with danger, like an electrical storm crackling about them. Rose tried to fight off the heady recklessness that was creeping under her skin. She should have nothing to do with Sir Lawrence if she truly wanted to forget him. And yet, how could she deny Sam this opportunity? A small voice of reason argued that it was madness. Magnus would certainly say so.

As if reading her mind, Lawrence murmured, 'Perhaps you should ask Emsleigh before you make a decision.'

Her chin went up.

'I do not need to consult him on such a matter!'

'No?'

The challenge was blatant.

'No.' She stifled the voice of reason and turned to face him. 'Very well, Sir Lawrence. We will look after this pony for you.' His lips curled in a slow smile that turned her insides to water. She struggled to continue. 'Your groom may bring the animal to the stables. If there is any communication regarding the arrangement, it is to be conducted through Evans. I want nothing more to do with the matter.'

'Nothing?'

'No. And...and I will explain the matter to Sam, if you please, but not today.'

'As you wish.'

He was still smiling at her and she turned away again, knowing that if he touched her the thin control she had over herself would slip away and she would melt into his arms, as she had dreamed of doing almost every night for the past year.
