“Darley was ready to dispatch you on the spot,” Dougal murmured, lounging in the corner of the chaise, his legs propped up on the opposite seat.

“I doubt it,” Walingame muttered, uncorking a brandy bottle and taking a long draught.

“Deny it all you wish, it’s true. You could see it in his eyes. And Darley has never had any scruples about putting a bullet in an adversary. Not to mention, most of his duels have been over some ladylove’s so-called honor. You were lucky you came out of there unscathed.”

“You run off at the mouth, Dougal. As for Darley, I’ll see that he pays for his bloody insolence.”

Dougal grinned. “Thinking about hiring some thugs again?”

“If need be,” the earl growled, immune to issues of honor. Right and wrong were mere words to him.

“Keep in mind, Darley might be on the lookout for a crowd of roughs. He said as much.”

“I don’t care,” Walingame spat. “All I know is that he’s going to pay one way or another for fucking my mistress.”

“He may not be fucking her.” Dougal didn’t add, And it didn’t look like she was yours.

“Acquit me of stupidity,” Walingame muttered. “They smelled of sex when they walked in.”

“Not from where I was sitting.”

Walingame snorted. “They’d spent the day in bed. I’d bet my stable on that.”

Dougal grinned. “Since I’d like your stable, could we find out whether they had sex or not?”

“Very humorous, I’m sure. Remind me to mock your female attachments. Not only is Janet Ferguson so shapeless one can’t tell if she’s coming or going—she doesn’t discriminate whom she takes into her bed. I hope you understand you’re not alone in fucking her.”

“Nor do I wish to be,” Dougal drawled, his inamorata one of the hotter women he’d ever bedded despite her boyish form and indiscretions. “And I hardly think Annabelle Foster could be considered your exclusive property,” he bluntly pointed out.

“Regardless, I intend to have her back in my bed in short order,” Walingame declared firmly.

“And how do you propose to do that?”

Walingame smiled wickedly. “The usual way. Through guile.”
