CHAPTER 29

Alex was flirting shamelessly with Catherine, though his heart was not in it. He’d spent half his life trying to avoid jealous women, and here he was doing his best to make one jealous. And it wasn’t working, damn her.

Last night, he was certain Glynis was going to give in—but she had not. If she continued to refuse him, he would have to choose another. His daughter needed a mother.

Alex caught sight of his daughter and Bessie going through the doorway that led to the upper floors. Glynis was not with them. When he glanced about the hall, he did not see her.

D’Arcy was missing as well.

Under the table, Catherine’s hand was moving up his leg—and heaven knew his cock was suffering from lack of attention. But he did not have time for this now.

“Come to my chamber tonight,” she said close to his ear.

Alex was used to avoiding promises, and he did not make one now.

“I am meeting with your brothers soon, and I must look in on my daughter first,” he said, as he eased Catherine’s hand off his leg. He did intend to see Sorcha—as soon as he found out where Glynis was.

“Your daughter?” Catherine leaned toward him until her breast pressed against his arm. “Surely her nursemaid can look after her?”

“Sorcha is not accustomed to having so many strangers about,” Alex said. “She’s had a difficult time, and she becomes anxious if she does not see me for long.”

“Poor child,” Catherine said, pursing her full, red lips. “She’s lucky to have such an attentive father.”

Alex smiled, pleased by the compliment and by Catherine’s concern for his daughter. “I’m glad ye understand.”

If he could not persuade Glynis to see sense, perhaps he should consider wedding Catherine.
