MARCUS WALKED BACK to Grosvenor Square, his feet blindly following the familiar route. The encounter with Miss Brown played in his head, awkward, erotic, shameful.

He kept coming back to her tightness, to the way every muscle in her body had clenched with pain when he’d entered her. Miss Brown had definitely been a virgin. No one could fake a response like that.

Marcus’s thoughts slid even further back, to his wedding night. He remembered how anxious he’d been not to hurt Lavinia, remembered entering her for the first time, remembered how she’d stiffened and cried out. And then he placed that memory alongside the memory of tonight. The tension in Lavinia’s muscles had been superficial, not deep and involuntary.

Marcus halted on the flagway. Lavinia wasn’t a virgin?

He replayed his wedding night in his head, and came to the same conclusion: his penetration had been no painful invasion. Despite the blood on the handkerchief—her own handkerchief, that she’d displayed to him afterwards—Lavinia hadn’t been a virgin.

“Sir?”

Marcus blinked, and focused on his surroundings: tall buildings with shuttered windows, torches burning in brackets, shadowy street, and a crossing-sweeper looking at him expectantly.

He fumbled a coin from his pocket, tossed it to the man, and crossed the street, striding grimly.

He’d learned a lot more than the Smiths’ names from Miss Brown tonight.
