CHAPTER SIX

ON THE DRIVE back to Astill Hall Lance kept up a steady narrative on what they’d found and how much the figurines she’d discovered might fetch at auction. Sara was caught between wanting to scream at him to stop because he seemed so unaffected by what had happened and weeping in thanks that they could pretend nothing had happened at all.

Her body didn’t lie, though. No matter how mortified she still felt, it wanted him with a ferocity of desire she’d never experienced before. The ache inside, the heat between her thighs. The prickle of her nipples, now uncomfortable in her bra. As if she was ripe, ready to be picked. If he pulled the car over, dragged out a picnic blanket and wanted to have his way with her under a tree at the side of the road she feared she would agree with indecent enthusiasm.

Proving she wasn’t a good girl at all, but bad, as he’d first pointed out at the funeral months ago. Even more horrifying, she kind of liked it.

As they turned into the stately driveway of Astill Hall she was relieved she’d at least survived without begging him for a repeat performance or, worse, for forgiveness. The problem was, she wasn’t sure how she should behave, so she was trying steadfastly to just ignore the fact that she’d orgasmed with Lance’s hand stroking between her legs, murmuring those wicked words, making the fire inside her burn hotter...

As Lance parked the car in the expansive garage, George arrived to meet them. He looked from Lance to Sara and back again. Was it obvious something had happened? Surely not, and yet she couldn’t help feeling that guilt was written all over her face. The air between them became stiff and uncomfortable as the silence stretched.

‘Your Grace.’ He nodded to her. ‘Lady Sara.’

Lance raised an eyebrow. ‘Is this the way things are going to be?’

She wasn’t sure what any of this meant. As far as she was concerned, Lance’s butler seemed to be behaving entirely appropriately. He would have fitted in with any of the staff at the Morenburg Palace.

‘It’s only proper.’

‘When has anything in Astill Hall been proper?’

George stood a little taller. Glared at Lance. ‘You have a fiancée. There are standards to be upheld.’

‘You well know I’ve never been one for standards of any kind.’

‘Perhaps you can maintain them for a little longer since you have a deputation. From the village.’

Lance snorted. ‘Really? I’ve never had a deputation before.’ He looked over to her, a grin on his face. ‘I suspect I’m not the person they want to see. They’re interested in someone else entirely.’

‘Which is why I’m letting you know, in case Lady Sara wishes to...have some time before joining you.’

‘Excellent idea. We’re both in need of a moment.’

‘I’ll let them know you’ll be with them presently.’

George left and Lance turned to her, his expression serious. ‘Do you need anything—bathroom, cold water, a stiff drink? An excuse to avoid the next half hour or so?’

It was time to show him how unaffected she could be.
