‘To my room, if you please…’ She was quite proud of herself. She sounded like a heroine in a period novel. But anything less and the game was over.

‘Very well,’ Nico said, playing along.

Her mind was full of the touch of his mouth and the warm possession of his tongue, she could feel his hands moulding her limbs, directing her pleasure, increasing and prolonging it…And then as he plundered her mouth she would open for him like a flower, and—

Here they were. What a relief. ‘Thank you,’ she said politely, disentangling her arm from his at the door. ‘I’m going to see the evening through,’ she informed him. ‘I gave my promise to your mother, and I won’t let her down. I’m going to shower now and see if I can find something more suitable to wear. I’d like you to apologise to the king for me and to your mother, of course, and say that if they will allow me to I should like to join them for coffee.’

‘And do you expect me to escort you back to the banqueting hall, too?’ His voice was mocking, but he admired her spirit, even if he knew he shouldn’t fall for it.

‘Thank you. That’s very kind of you,’ she told him politely.

He had to admit he would have done the same thing, and could only applaud her decision to return.

Carrie couldn’t have been more thrilled for the young maid. Not only had she managed to track down the elusive gown, she had uncovered the culprits. The gown had been discovered in Princess Anastasia’s dressing room.

‘I can’t think how it got there,’ the maid said, shaking her head in disbelief.

‘An honest mistake, I’m sure…’ Carrie didn’t want any more trouble, she wanted an end to the matter. She had far more important things on her mind, and the first of these was winning Nico’s trust. A catfight with Princess Anastasia would do nothing to further her cause. If she acted with dignity now it gave her a platform from which to go forward.

After a quick shower, with her hair pinned up, Carrie stepped into the dream gown. Slithering the cool silk over her warm, naked skin was a wonderful sensation. The dress had been cut to display her smooth, pale shoulders to best advantage, and hint at the full swell of her breasts without putting them crudely on display. The maid had found her a pair of soft kidskin mules in the same delicate shade, which she slipped on smiling with relief, because they felt

like slippers. Daintily
