Theo’s cock strained painfully against the fall of his trousers as Lady Deering—he had to think of her as Pamela now, a strange, intimate luxury—shrugged. The action sent the ivory confection that was her dressing gown from her shoulders. He should not have come to her. He should have stayed away. But everything was falling apart around him, and somehow, she was the only source of solace. It scarcely made any sense, and yet, when he looked into her eyes, he knew she felt the same.

If they were drowning in the world, then they might drown together. Sink beneath the stormy waves in each other’s arms.

His booted feet were carrying him across her fine Axminster floor in muted thumps before his mind had even formed the thought to move. His body was governing the rest of him, taking him to what he wanted, what he needed most.

Her.

They collided, her soft, smooth arms twining around his neck and her full breasts crushing into his chest. Her exotic scent surrounded him, chasing dark thoughts from his mind. The unexpected meeting with Stasia and the revelations she had made fell away. There was only this moment, this next breath, the frantic beat of his heart, the woman tilting her head back to look up at him with so much hunger that his knees actually trembled.

He, who had been tortured nearly to death in his uncle’s dungeon, who had survived the ugly sea crossing from Boritania, followed by a decade of living dangerously as a cutthroat mercenary, was shaken to his soul by one woman whose ice turned into flame. Flame he wanted to be burned in. Flame to make him forget, even if only for one night. Even if only for one hour. By Deus, he would pitch himself into a raging fire for one second with her. That was how strong his need for her was.

Theo lowered his head and buried his face in the fragrant hair at her temple. Unbound, the burnished waves glinted in the warm glow of the candles. He took a moment to inhale, to savor her.

“I saw you,” she murmured, fingers toying with the ends of his hair that he’d thought to cut until he’d known how good it felt for her to tangle her dainty hands in it. “In the entry hall when we arrived home this evening.”

He had seen her too. It hadn’t been his intention; he’d been committing a final tour of Hunt House before turning the reins over to his men for the night. What he’d meant to do was avoid her. To return to his room and think about what he must do with the information Stasia had imparted.

But the commotion in the front hall had told him that someone was arriving, and he’d lingered stupidly and recklessly in the hope that it would be her. When their gazes had met and clung across the space, he had known that he wasn’t going to his chamber. There was only one place he could go, given the torment eating him from within, and it was to her.
