Chapter Eleven

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Christiana asked with

concern.

“Of course she’s sure,” Suzette answered for her. “Lisa has

loved Robert forever. It wil be al right.”

“Suzette, don’t push her into this,” Christiana said quietly. “This

is not a game. He could be very angry if he works out it was a

setup. He might never forgive her.”

Lisa bit her lip as Christiana’s words ran through her head. It

was a scary thought, but not as scary as the thought of never having

him, she acknowledged. And if she did not do this, she very much

feared she would lose him. Or never get to claim him, Lisa

supposed, since he wasn’t hers to lose yet.

Straightening her shoulders, she nodded firmly. “I want to do

this.”

“Good girl,” Suzette said cheerfuly, rubbing her shoulder. “You

can do this. You’ve read al those books and know what to do. Just

pretend you are Fanny or Sophia and do al those delicious things

you’ve read about. He wil not be able to resist you.”

“Right,” she murmured, her mind scrambling to pul up al the

bits of information she had read over the years. Unfortunately, the

only thing she could remember just then was that the first time was

supposed to be terribly painful and bloody. The thought was not an

encouraging one. Hardly something to look forward to and she felt

herself begin to wilt. Then she recaled those moments at the bal

when Robert had kissed and caressed her after pushing her into the

dark room. Those memories managed to push back the fear and

trepidation.

“Good.” Suzette patted her back. “So we wil head out to the

bal, and you go sit with him in his room while he eats, and then

seduce him. We wil return early and check on him and catch you in

there, hopefuly naked in bed,” she added. “You can do this.”

“I can do this,” Lisa agreed, shoulders straightening, and then

she asked with worry. “What time are you returning?”

“We hadn’t decided on a set time,” Christiana said with a frown

when Suzette hesitated.

“It’s better that way, then you wil not have to fake being

surprised,” Suzette assured her when Lisa looked worried.

“But what if I haven’t seduced him by the time you come back?”

she asked plaintively.

“Wel, you should seduce him right away,” Suzette said firmly.

“Or at least as quickly as possible. The doctor has given him a

tincture so he should be manageable enough and suffering no pain.”

“But—”

“Blow out the candle when you’ve done it,” Christiana

suggested. “If we return and the candle in his room is stil glowing,

we wil wait to make our entrance.”

“Oh, okay,” she murmured with relief. It would be just her luck

for them to return before she’d worked up the courage to seduce

Robert and ruin everything.

“Al right,” Suzette smiled encouragingly. “Chin up. This wil

work. This time next year you and Robert wil be happily married

and laughing about al of this.”

“If he forgives her,” Christiana said gloomily. She was stil not

keen on this idea, but was giving her support because she loved

Lisa and wanted her happy. And because she couldn’t think of

another way to handle the matter. Lisa appreciated that.
