The fingers of her free hand found the loop to her reticule and she clutched it to her. “I’m not afraid of getting bitten.”

“You should be.”

“The only time a woman is in any danger with a rake is if she loses her heart.” She met his gaze evenly. “I have too much control to allow such a thing to occur.”

His sudden smile made him all too appealing. “Do you, indeed?”

Sara boldly placed her hand on his chest, her fingers curving slightly so that they pressed into his skin. “I thought we were coming here to practice kissing.”

His gaze narrowed into a frown. “You don’t know what game you are playing.”

“Don’t I?” She was glad to see the tension along his jaw. She slowly slid her hand up his chest.

His hand covered hers, halting it. “You are an intoxicating woman, Sara. I don’t think you know how much so.”

Agonizingly aware of the warmth of his hand over hers, Sara wished her heart wouldn’t gallop in such a reckless way, that her head didn’t feel so light.

Nick removed her hand from his chest. “You certainly seem to understand the basic principle behind a seduction.”

“Have you forgotten that I’ve been married before? I also have five brothers, and none of them is saintly.

”

“No, but they are honorable, and in a man that is often the same thing.” The glint in Nick’s eyes made her shift uncomfortably. “I don’t blame your brother for keeping such close watch on you. You are dangerous.”

“But you haven’t paid him the least heed.” She looked at him consideringly. “Why aren’t you afraid of Anthony? Everyone else is.”

“Perhaps I’ve decided the reward far outweighs the danger.”

The seductive timbre of his voice made her shiver. She hated it when he did that—made her feel as if she were special. She had the lowering conviction that he did the same to all women, that it was as natural to him as breathing.

“I was afraid you’d refuse to come today,” she blurted.

He slanted a gaze at her that left her unaccountably hot. “And miss this?”

Sara swallowed. “You said you had a potential husband for me. Who is it?”

“All in good time, love.” He loosened the ribbons of her bonnet. “Will you be at the theatre on Wednesday?”

“Of course. The new play opens. But who is—”

Nick lifted the bonnet from her head. “I will meet you there and point him out to you. Then…” He tossed the bonnet to the ground. “As you say, you can deal with that part.”
