Today they triggered one of the little traps I set. Now I am sure of my facts. Beyond doubt.

She has betrayed me.

With whom? That I have yet to ascertain. Like a bitch on heat she eyes every man as intimately as if he is her lover; and one and all, they slaver over her like rabid dogs.

As I once did.

“Stephen darling, can you help me with these tedious buttons, please?”

She'd had Deirdre's assistance donning the gown before the Cummings's party, but the maids had been told not to wait up. Obligingly, Stephen wrestled with the tiny pearl buttons fastening Lucy's best evening gown.

“Someday, someone will invent a more convenient way to fasten gowns,” he grumbled. “You do look lovely in this gown, though, Lucy. You were belle of the ball tonight.”

He'd felt so proud, standing at Lucy's side, basking in the universal approval his marriage had earned him.

The gown slipping freely down her arms, Lucy turned to reward him with a warm, lingering kiss. She carefully removed the gown and hung it up. Seeing Stephen busy divesting himself of his own festive raiment, she impulsively decided to bring the night to a daring end in a way her husband wouldn't forget in a hurry. One that would cement tonight's victory.

She would prove to her husband she could be the most creative and satisfying of lovers. Satisfying enough to keep him at home beside me? Lucy could only hope. Excitement rippled through her. This certainly counted as using those female weapons Grandmama had told her of. She hoped she could bring it off and not end up looking ridiculous.

She sat at her dressing table and removed the pins from her hair. Brushing her curls into a smooth cascade reaching almost to her waist, Lucy watched in the mirror, tracking Stephen's movements. Waiting till he was lying in the bed, the sheet draped over his waist, exposing his deliciously bare chest. Judging her moment, she rose to her feet, brush discarded.

“I'll be with you in just a moment Darling,” she purred, noting with satisfaction that already he was more aware of her. Normally she was first into bed, and Stephen was always the one who initiated their lovemaking.

Tonight, was all about doing something new, something he would remember, and want more of.

Lucy stepped out of her shoes, giving them playful little kicks to send them sailing across the room. Then, standing side-on to the bed, she lifted one dainty foot to the stool, pushed her petticoats out of the way, and slipped off the garter; pretending not to notice when Stephen raised himself up on one elbow, attention entirely concentrated on her performance, anticipation in the smile lifting his lips. Thus encouraged, she gave him the tiniest of pouting smiles and slowly rolled her stocking all the way to her toes, finally tossing it in the direction of her shoes.

Holding her skirts clear of her legs, she straightened and removed her foot from the stool. Gave him another of those secret smiles she had never lavished on any other man.
