Thank God they were in the open, in a very public place. If she'd been alone with him, she knew, just knew deep down, that she'd have felt unreasoning fear at his words. As it was, all she felt was wonderful anger. "Don't you dare taunt me with your man's threats, my lord."

"Man's threats? I don't recall having threatened you, leastwise in the past few minutes. When you come to know me better, you'll discover that I don't make threats. I make but statements of fact."

"They are one and the same thing coming from you, Julien. I've told you that I don't like you. I can't believe you so unintelligent as to have so quickly forgotten my words."

She'd hoped to provoke him, to put at least a small dent in his armor, but she hadn't. He gazed at her impassively, a gleam of amusement lighting his eyes, and she saw that gleam and was sorely tried by it.

He was finding himself hard to maintain the calm amusement she found so annoying. He'd failed miserably with his carefully thought-out speech to her in the carriage the morning after their marriage, had succeeded only in providing her with more ammunition for her skirmishes against him. He wondered, somewhat pensively, what the devil he was going to do now.

"Come," he said after a moment, "it's time we returned. It will be dark in but a few minutes."

She gave him a clipped nod and, he saw that she was shivering with cold. "Just a moment, my dear," he said.

She stopped and looked at him questioningly, brows raised. He shrugged out of his greatcoat and wrapped it around her shoulders. She drew back, uncertain whether or not to protest.

"No," he said. "Don't. Come now."
