One Earl too many

The night turned into a blazing success. With all my dances filled, and many great men to be met I enjoyed myself more than I ever had. It just irritated me that he hadn’t come back yet and there was only one set left. Perhaps something had happened?

…

Lord Drake and Lord Whitt came by almost every day over the next two weeks and I was asked to choose one to consider seriously as a suitor. With my mind twisted in knots and Millie of no help, I turned to Lord Draco who had been doing his damnedest to avoid me. I found him holed up in his little study and dropped myself into a chair.

“I have a question to ask you,” I said with a small smile, petting his hound’s head.

“What?” he asked grumpily.

“I have been ask to choose one of them as a serious suitor, who do you think I should bestow my favor upon? Lord Whitt or Lord Drake?”

“Drake?” he nearly yelled.

I nodded calmly.

He got up from his winged chair and glared down at me. “You will do better to stay away from that man! And serious suitor? The Season is not even half over!”

“I tire of all the fun, it has been great, but I miss being home,” I said softly.

“If you marry one of them you shall not return to the place you have called home,” he said grimly. “You shall leave everything behind.”

I was getting frustrated. The plan Lord Drake and I had made was not working. Could the man be so thick headed?

“What shall I do then?”

Lord Draco cleared his throat, “You are young yet, why not wait another year before you make your choice.” He sat down next to me a placed a gentle hand on mine. “There is no need to rush.”

Finally my tempter got the better of me and I snapped, “Why do you not take the hint!” I slapped a hand over my mouth too late.

His eye narrowed. “What hint?”

I stood on shaking legs. “You are arrogant, thick headed and a brute on top! Why should I feel this way?” I told myself, but walked over to his chair and stared down at him.

“You are the one I want, you mule. We haven’t you been able to see it? Drake said you weren’t this daft, but now I see he was wrong,” I huffed.

“You want me,” he pointed to himself dumbly.

I nodded slowly and suddenly the room was spinning as he caught me up in his arms with a laugh that boomed. Setting me on my feet his kissed my lips lightly and gave me a tight hug.

“You, my sweet, are a puzzle. We are at odd ends but I have a feeling that is how it is to always be. Are you sure?”

I grinned in his arms. “Never more sure.”

He smiled down at me devilishly, “Then, my dear, be prepared for as soon as we marry there shall be no escape.”
