When Elspeth awoke to the rosy dawn light beaming in the window, she was startled to find herself in the tower room. Then, with stunning clarity, she remembered the scorching and erotic encounter she'd had with Cyrus the night before.

"Oh, goodness," she breathed. Her face burned at the memory of the sizzling lovemaking she and Cyrus had indulged in. Not just once but twice. What on earth had possessed her? She had not imbibed alcohol; she had been in full control of her mental faculties. However, once Cyrus had kissed her, she had lost command of her actions.

Blast him! Why did he have to be so masculine and arousing? Why could she not resist him?

She arose from the bed, realizing her back and legs were a bit sore. 'Twas mortifying she could strain muscles during bedsport. She remembered she had been extremely enthusiastic about Cyrus's sensuality. What did he think of her now? He knew she'd already been an earl's mistress and now she was an impulsive lover to another earl. A fallen woman? Aye, doubly so. But she'd been called worse.

After tying the belt of her wrap tightly, she opened the door.

As quietly as possible, she descended the steps and, after visiting the garderobe at the end of the corridor, entered her own chamber. Her lady's maid was still back at Castle Rebbinglen, and hopefully, none of the other maids would realize she hadn't slept in her room most of the night. Her covers were still disheveled.

But when she approached the washstand, she saw that one of the maids had recently brought a pitcher of hot water from the kitchen. Oh well, at least the maid hadn't caught her with a man. She'd simply been absent. Hopefully, she would think Elspeth had been in the garderobe. Regardless, the chambermaid would not ask where she had been.

Elspeth removed her wrap and smock, tossed them onto the chair and gave herself a sponge bath with the lavender soap.

The odd sore spots on her body reminded her of the carnal indulgences of the night before, sending the heat of embarrassment over her. But when she recalled what a strong and virile lover Cyrus had been, that heat turned into searing arousal.

She imagined him knocking on her door right now… entering while she awaited him, his dark and lustful gaze roving over her naked body. Heavens… what a wanton she had turned into. She'd never been one before, despite being a man's mistress. But Cyrus…

"Whew." She blew out a breath.

Finished with her quick bath, she took a delicate silken smock from the drawer and pulled it over her head.

When a knock sounded at the door, her heart felt as if it vaulted into her throat. Was that Cyrus? Her courage fleeing, she quickly wrapped a woolen blanket around her body. Though she was not naked, she did not wish him to see her in this thin undergarment, for her breasts would be nearly visible.

"Who is it?" she called.

"'Tis me, m'lady. Katie."
