Chapter Nine

Audrey took to Duncan’s mom right away. Who wouldn’t like someone who offered to mute overly chatty relatives? Completely thrown at meeting her lover’s mother, she tried to take it in stride. But seriously, finding aliens had actually built Stonehenge and had just returned wouldn’t have surprised her more than this impromptu come-meet-my-mum trip.

However Lila was funny and astute, and made her relax. They’d had a pleasant talk in the gardens, all planned and maintained by Lila, followed by a light lunch on the patio.

Prior to this little country trip, Audrey hadn’t given any thought to Duncan’s mother. Oh, he’d mentioned her during their sightseeing trips, but not enough to make her think that after only a couple days of touring London and hot monkey sex, he’d bring her home to meet mummy.

Frankly, Audrey had no idea how to feel about that. Except that Lila probably lived here at the family estate—but then why had Duncan brought her to the country?

Her thoughts chased themselves around and around like an unruly puppy, until Audrey wanted to scream in frustration. She was frustrated with herself for reading too much into this meeting and with wanting more from a holiday affair than was smart to even think about. Now, as they walked around the well-maintained lawn, the cool spring breeze nipping at her cheeks, she forcibly pushed it all aside and tried to focus on what was actually happening and not what she wanted to happen.

Because fantasy very rarely merged with real life.

Duncan’s hand was warm and comfortable around hers as they made their way around the manor house. She’d had a wonderful afternoon, joking with him about the portrait gallery he’d shown her and how he did look like his five-times great-grandfather but not his four-times great—and what had happened there?

She’d laughed and winked at him as she spun ever more elaborate stories of servant girls and illicit trysts in the parlor room. Then laughed harder when he made her blush with what exactly they’d done in his front parlor the other night.

Even now the memory caused her to flush with arousal, with that same out-of-control need to taste him, to feel his skin against hers. Try as she might, Audrey couldn’t remember the last time a guy had made her this aroused with simply a memory. Or a look, like the heated one in his sharp blue eyes he now gave her.

They rounded the manor and headed back for one of the many doors that led inside. Audrey hadn’t thought about it before, though she supposed she should have. The vast number of doors leading from the house to the outside was staggering—no wonder Jane and Elizabeth were always running around in Pride and Prejudice.

“There are no bodies in the basement, Audrey.” Duncan laughed, and it sounded free and light. But the look in his eyes, the piercing heat, the blue so crystalline she wanted to drown in it, told Audrey all she needed to know about his current thoughts.

“With a place like this?” she asked, laughing up at him.
