Rand had been plagued by the suspicion, from the moment he had first risen that morning with a stiff cock and thoughts of Grace Winter on his mind, that the day was bound to end badly. But before him, surely, was proof of the opposite. Grace was staring back at him with such innocence. And yet also with such desire.

She was the one thing he should not want and yet the one thing he knew he needed to have. Which was precisely why he never should have come here to her chamber earlier. That he stood here in such tempting proximity to her now was down to his own recklessness.

He had consumed enough brandy earlier to dull his senses and his pride sufficiently. He had wandered into the wing of the sprawling Abingdon House where he knew he could find Grace’s chamber. He had found it with ease—thank Christ for the name placards in the hall.

But she had not been within. After his disastrous attempt at distracting himself with cards, he had decided to seek her out. To apologize and explain himself. And then, he had trespassed upon Grace’s private territory. The room had smelled of her—summer blooms from the most glorious English garden—and he had found it oddly comforting.

So, too, her bed. The pillow where she laid her head at night had called to him. He had paced about for a few minutes before he had realized she would not be appearing any time soon. Weary, and oddly lulled into a sense of peace by his surroundings, he had toed off his shoes and slipped into her bed.

Foolish?

Yes.

Delicious?

Also, yes.

Did he regret it?

Hell, no.

In fact, if anything, he wanted to return to her bed now. With Grace, if at all possible. He had been enjoying the most decadent dream when she had jarred him into reluctant wakefulness. Grace had been kissing him as sweetly as she had in the gardens.

Only, they had been in the bright confines of a hothouse instead. Surrounded by lush blooms. The sun had been warm all around them. And her hand had gone to his cock, stroking. Inciting a fire within him. She had undone the fall of his breeches and taken him in her hand…

And then Real Grace had suddenly forced him awake, chasing away the glorious seductress of Dream Grace. He could not help but to mourn the loss of that dream, that phantom touch, even now. It had been so good.

Too good.

Undeniable.

He desired Grace Winter, with a strength and a ferocity he could not ever recall experiencing before. When he was away from her side, he convinced himself he could maintain his restraint. That he must not jeopardize their feigned betrothal. But now he was in her chamber, and he had just been shaken from the most glorious dream, and the feelings were haunting him still, lingering like the cockstand he could not seem to control.

An idea was brewing within him. A wicked one, it was true. But he was a rake, was he not? And though it was foolhardy indeed, he decided, suddenly and recklessly, to tell her.
