The countess stared into her teacup for a moment, rather liking her reflection on the surface of the liquid. She smiled and then began to titter, one hand reaching up to her lips. “I do, don’t I?” she acknowledged with a smile.

“Hmm. Would you like more tea?” Evangeline offered as she lifted the strainer and pot from the tea tray.

“I suppose I shall since I’ll be having another one of these delicious cakes,” Adele replied, with not the least hint of embarrassment.

Evangeline poured the water and settled back into her chair. “May I ask what brought you to my parlor today?” she asked carefully, refilling her own cup more out of nervousness than because she wanted another cup just then. Lord Sommers would be along at eleven o’clock to read with her. The thought had her heart beating just a trifle faster, for she found she looked forward to the hour or so they spent reading and in conversation about the book.

The countess set her saucer on the low table and gave a sigh. “It’s about ... about your late night caller,” she offered with some hesitance.

Her face brightening, Evangeline suddenly straightened in her chair. Someone had noticed Lord Sommers’ visit! She wondered if it were Lady Pettigrew or Lady Brougham who saw the baron. And did they notice his arrival? Or his departure? A shiver shot through her body as she remembered the delicious sensations Jeffrey Althorpe had managed to invoke in her that night. The way he had kissed her lips, had stroked her skin with his long fingers, held her breast in his palm and used his tongue and lips ... “Oh, Lord Sommers, you mean,” she managed to get out without sounding too breathy.

Adele didn’t try to hide her surprise, stunned that Evangeline would so happily admit to receiving a man at such a late hour. “Yes.”
