David paced back and forth in his library, the clock ticking away the minutes faster than he would have liked. Where was the blasted woman? How could he seduce her if she was back to hiding from him again? He had thought that issue resolved when he had asked for her help gathering the women's opinions on the house party. Was he wrong?

He had seen her disappear from the ballroom with Lady Diana Saintwood moments after he had sent her a note asking her to meet him in the library once the festivities ended for the evening. He had thought she would use her departure with Lady Diana to sneak off to the library unseen. Had he been wrong? Had Diana done something to Amelia to prevent her from meeting him? It would not be the first time he had underestimated the cleverness of a woman when she desired something, particularly if that something was him. Though really, he had thought Diana had eyes only for Lord Hathaway. Had he been wrong about that, too?

Then the library doors opened with a soft squeak and David forgot to breathe, the very breath stolen from his chest.

Amelia was a goddess. She had been lovely before but now? Now she was breathtaking, the most magnificent creature he had ever laid eyes on.

Her fair skin - and a great deal of it, much to his delight - was showcased to perfection, the tops of her creamy breasts nearly spilling out of the exquisitely form fitting gown she wore. It was the color of claret and clung lovingly to her curves. When she turned to close the doors behind her, he saw that it dipped nearly as low in the back with a row of tiny golden buttons the only thing that held it closed.

This was not her gown, for if she had possessed such a frock, he would have known about it. Though where she had procured it was of little concern to him. All that mattered was that she looked as if she was bent on seduction - his seduction if he had anything to say about it.

"David." Her voice was soft, as it always was, but this time, there was a note of something coy in it. He should have minded. After all, how many women had attempted to seduce him in this very manner over the years? Except that this was Amelia and he knew her better than that. He also knew that he would not mind seduction at her hands. In fact, he would relish it.

"Amelia. You look...exquisite." That was not the right word, for her appearance nearly brought him to tears, but it was the only one his muddled mind could come up with on such short notice.

Glancing down, she brushed her hands over the front of the gown. "Thank you. Some of the ladies were exchanging fashion tips abovestairs. I know that I do not normally partake in such activities, but since you had asked me to ascertain how the women viewed this house party.
