He had lied to her.

Of course at that point, it hardly mattered, but he had lied all the same. It was true Peterson had once been in his father’s service, but he had been Lukas’s valet for much longer. So loyal was Peterson, Lukas was certain he could make his bed in the kitchen and outside of seeing if he needed anything, the man would never breathe a word of it to anyone.

However, Alexia’s floor held several advantages over the kitchen. For one, he was able to watch her prepare for sleep. Nothing improper, he thought. But the sight of her kneeling by her bed, making petitions to God, held him enthralled. He studied her while she prayed, watched her face progress from worry to a peace so encompassing it left him breathless.

In the mornings, she would wake slowly, her tousled hair pleading for his fingers to straighten the tangles. He loved the peevish way she faced the day, as if she would give anything to stay in bed longer. But then she would resign herself to getting up and once the decision was made, she held nothing back.

No. The floor was not comfortable, but he had slept on worse and would endure a lot more for the small intimacies afforded by sharing a room with his intriguing wife.
