Douglas claimed her hands and caught her eyes. "I believe that I should be the judge of how much money I spend on you, Ia." It was wonderful to see her genuine happiness at the gift, and he loved the fact that she was looking him in the eye for once. Her innocent, open gaze on him was more intoxicating than he'd thought it would be—than any bold, brazen look he'd ever received from any woman. He took both of her hands in his. "I've seen you reading a dog-eared copy occasionally around the house, and I wanted you to have a nicer copy."

"Nicer? I'll have to put this in a safe deposit box or under glass or something!"

"No," he said quietly but firmly, and her eyes darted to his again, revealing that she was feeling more than a bit nervous, when they had been admiring the book. "It's meant to be read, and you must do so at least once."

That got him a barely-there smile and her surprisingly easy acquiescence. "All right."

Taffy produced Ia's coat, which he helped her into, then he tucked her hand into the crook of his elbow, and they went out to the car with Daniel and Taffy calling after them to have a good time.

Daniel was a sport and had given him the keys to his car, and once he got her settled, he got behind the wheel.

"Do you—" Ia started, then she silenced herself.

"What, love?"

She started at that. He'd called her "love"! What does him calling me that mean, exactly? she wondered.

"Nothing."

Douglas turned to her with the car running to warm up for her, reaching to turn her face to his. "No, Ia. Unless you want to give your brother and sister-in-law something to really talk about this evening, you'll answer my question, and you won't say 'nothing' when it was actually 'something' again."

The breath caught in her throat at how similar his tone was to Daniel's when he was scolding her about something or laying down the law. And that made her wonder if he would use the same methods as her brother would to get her to behave in the manner that he preferred.

"I was just wondering if you knew how to drive on this side of the road."

He let her go, saying, "I've spent quite a bit of time in the States, so, yes, I do." As if to prove it, he got them onto I 40 with no help from her, pointing them toward Knoxville. "You're safe with me, I promise." Douglas wanted to take hold of her hand, but he thought it might be a bit early in the evening for that. She struck him as not only deliciously virginal, but also, to his great surprise, utterly pristine.

And he could also see that she was shaking in her seat. She was trying to suppress it, but she was most definitely trembling hard. Come to think of it, when he'd taken her hands at the house, they were ice cold, as they had been the last time they'd gone out to dinner together.
