Chapter 11

Julia waited restlessly in the garden of the house that stood in front of The Seafarer’s School for Girls. She would often visit the school when she was in London. She’d explained to the housekeeper that she’d be receiving a visitor in the garden, and knew she could count on the woman to be discreet and not mention it to anyone. The minutes passed and Julia looked at every flower and shrub from the back gate to the front lawn and back again. No exact time had been set for Garrett to come, but she’d been eager not to miss him, so she’d already waited more than an hour.

Garrett. She smiled just thinking about him.

She didn’t know exactly why she’d started calling him by his first name. Perhaps because that’s how she thought of him now. Surely, especially after last night, Mr. Stockton was far too formal between them. Except, of course, when they were around other people. She liked the idea of him calling her Julia. Lady Kitson was the title she’d received by marrying the duke’s youngest son. She would never forget Kitson because of their son, but it was time she moved on with her life.

Her time in his arms had been glorious but far too short. If they could have had more time together, if she could have lingered in his arms, maybe she wouldn’t be so eager to repeat their coming together. Being with Kitson hadn’t prepared her for the all-consuming desire that had seeped into her soul, satisfying her so intimately she ached for the breathtaking feelings to never end. If not for Mr. Stockton, how could she have ever known that such stirring sensations existed inside the body, waiting to be brought so vividly to life? And even now that hunger to be with him and feel them again was relentless.

All day she’d kept thinking, I want to touch his bare skin again and feel his lips on mine. I want to hear him whisper my name in passion again. I want his body joined with mine and that soul-shattering pinnacle of desire to wash through me and leave me breathless and wanting more.

A bird chirped and Julia opened her eyes and looked around the garden. No sign of Garrett yet. She was eager to
