Chapter 12

The poor man. He looked terrified. Was he blushing?

His cheeks grew warmer under her hands, and yet he still didn’t open his eyes.

“Chester, look at me.”

“I can’t.”

“Why?”

“You’re in my room.”

“So?”

“We’re—did you say you plan to seduce me?” He at last opened his eyes.

Bernie grinned. “I did.”

He backed out of her hold, shaking his head. “This is a terrible idea, maybe your worst yet.”

“I got it from you. Where is the place they are least likely to look? And you said your valet could be trusted.”

“But…how long do you think you can stay here? And if the point is to stop my parents from thinking we’re together, how does this help? If you’re discovered here, they will certainly think that we’re… That we’ve been—”

“You’re doing a fine job of staying calm,” Bernie quipped. “Have you never been alone in a bedroom with a woman?”

He folded his arms and scowled.

Bernie laughed. “Have I upset your virginal sensibilities?”

His scowl darkened and Bernie’s laughter quieted. She folded her hands behind her back. Seducing a man was a lot more awkward than she thought it would be, though she hadn’t put very much thought past getting in the window, and then convincing his startled valet not to sound the alarm. What was his name? After all that, she thought Chester would be a bit more…leading in the seduction arena, but he was still being a prude, blast him. What could she do to put him in a different frame of mind? One where he would kiss her?

She tried to step closer to him but he kept backing away.

“Are you afraid of me?”

“Please just let me process this. I can’t think when you’re close to me.”

Hmm, that pleased her. If he thought too much, he might think of a way to sneak her out and that did not fit in her plan. She turned away, pretending to admire a painting of a pack of dogs content to sun bathe rather than chase a fox who coyly sat behind them with a clever smirk.

Chester began to pace behind her.

Never a good sign.

“How long do you intend to hide here and to what outcome? Where will you eat, where will you sleep…”

He continued his lecture and Bernie stopped listening. She was going to stay in this room until he confessed he loved her and then made love to her. That was her plan. After that, they would sort out what to do about his parents. The only outcome Bernie would accept is marriage and Lady Kirkland’s solemn vow to never besmirch her sisters’ reputations. She had no idea how she was going to accomplish those things just yet but it started with Chester.

Her plan hinged on him loving her and wanting to make love to her. If those key ingredients were missing then the whole plan would fall apart. Bernie didn’t want to even consider that yet.

She spun to face him and he was still pacing like a lunatic.

She sighed.

Perhaps he was a virgin?

Bernie, having so little
