Arabella’s eyes fluttered open, her cheek resting upon a soft pillow. Stretching, she turned to meet Logan’s intense stare. “You have been watching me?”

“I had a beautiful view therefore you cannot fault me.”

She smiled. “You sound besotted, Mr. Ambrose.”

“I am,” he winked at her, sliding his arm around her abdomen then to her back. “Hopelessly so, in fact.”

“Good. I like that,” Arabella snuggled closer to his warmth. “Especially since I am equally besotted.”

“Anyone I know?” he murmured.

“You and he are well acquainted, though I believe I know you both best.”

Logan kissed her hair. It had become a habit. One that caused her lips to curl into a grin every time.

“Of that, I have no doubt, my love.”

“My love?” she toyed with a springy curl of his chest hair. “I like the sound of that. So much so that I wish we could lie here forever.”

Logan splayed his palm against her lower back, tugging her until their bodies melded together, his warmth radiating against hers. “What if I suggested that we can?”

“I would insist that you are mad,” her teasing tone belied her statement. “You have an estate complete with guests and staff, my darling. We cannot hide forever, no matter how tempted I may be.”

“Victoria won’t dare say a word, Fiona will pretend to be blind, and my staff is discreet. Besides, you and I are marrying posthaste.” Logan announced, as if it had been decided.

For her, it was a foregone conclusion years ago.

“I thought we already were.” Bella smiled.

Logan caressed her cheek. “In my heart, we are. However, we must make this official. It is the only way for our scheme to succeed.” His fingertips trailed down her neck, to her shoulder then to her arm.

His eyes followed the path he traced, memorizing every birthmark, every smooth patch of flesh. Her skin was softer than silk, like nothing he could have imagined.

Logan couldn’t explore Bella enough.

“I assumed there were two choices open for us – me to reassume my identity or to pretend to be Sybil. Am I to understand that we are proceeding with the first option?” Arabella wrapped her leg around his. The intimate gesture caused his core to radiate with desire.

Focus.

Logan reminded himself to focus as his blood rushed to his manhood. “We must establish your true identity. Victoria is a witness as to who you are, as am I. Our marriage license will serve as proof also.”

“So why is your brow furrowed?” Arabella smoothed it with the pads of her fingers.

“Because we must convince whoever Sybil wronged and we must offer her to them instead.”

Studying Arabella, Logan wondered if she was capable of hurting her sister if such an act was necessary.

Not without guilt, of that he was certain.

“Can’t we have her arrested?” Arabella quizzed.

“That would be my first choice, as well,” Logan recognized that this was a long shot. “There is one concern. Once we are seen in public, once it is announced that you are married to one of the wealthiest men in Northamptonshire, Sybil will want what you have.
