Chapter Eight

Chrissie walked down the staircase in her evening gown to join the others. She waited for the viscount’s carriage with trepidation in her heart and a knot in her stomach. After Justin departed her room that afternoon, she’d remained unsettled, disconcerted. The pleasures to be found under his experienced hands were exquisite and so enticing that to now do without them would be excruciating agony.

Nevertheless, she could not forgive his crude words, nor could she forgive him for diminishing what they had shared this afternoon with his disgusting remarks and jealous references to Bart and the previous evening. Watching the women service the men that way had been arousing, she would admit that in truth, but it was not Bart that aroused her. It was Justin. The thought of putting her mouth over his proud flesh and sucking him to completion, seeing the erotic pleasure echoed on his face was what she’d wanted. She looked up to realize her friends were all gathered at the foot of the stairs and staring up at her.

Anna stepped forward looking concerned. “Chrissie, dearest, are you speaking to someone?”

“Oh, no, just myself.”

She gave them a watery smile to reassure them, disconcerted to realize she’d spoken aloud her worries about the viscount. Bedlam would welcome her with open arms before too much longer. Perhaps she would be ready to admit herself there.

“I think I hear the carriage now. The evening should be delightful.”

As she sat in the carriage, she allowed the talk to drift over her as she braced herself for the coming evening. Delightful, she’d declared it. Secretly, she labeled it horrifying. The viscount was a man about town with a reputation for knowledge of women far surpassing most men’s, and after her performance, he was, in all honesty, probably appalled. It would be a wonder if he didn’t invent an excuse to avoid attending tonight.

That comforting illusion was shattered when the viscount’s well-upholstered carriage rocked to a stop in front of the theatre and the viscount himself opened the door.

His hand came up to meet Anna’s as she was the first to alight, but his eyes met Chrissie’s. She felt a shiver of sensual awareness ripple through her entire body at his heated and hungry look. She’d been fooling herself. Nothing had changed between them and pretending the intense connection between them would dissipate because she willed it that way, because it frightened her, was stupid. And she’d never been a silly person.

In the village, people spoke of her sensibility, her knowing right from wrong and her strength of will to carry out the right course of action. Lady Wellsby was known to all and sundry as a person of great intelligence and fortitude, a person unflappable in emergencies.

But one glance from the notorious viscount, one sizzling perusal of her person, and her heart stuttered in her chest. Her breath caught, and she yearned for things she’d no right to want, and she’d no need of in her life. Yet, still, she wanted them.
