Chapter Eleven

Felix let out a shattering sigh. “You wouldn’t understand, Fanny.”

“I think I would,” she said. “I am no simpleton, Felix. I know what happens between a man and his wife.”

“You do?”

“Yes,” she said, her cheeks turning almost as red as her dress. “My mother was quite forthcoming on the subject. I know more than some young ladies do when they marry.”

He groaned. “Somehow, I don’t think I want to hear you regaling me with what you do know.”

She sighed. “I thank you, because I do not think I want to tell you.”

“I should go to my chambers, and dress for dinner. Have you reconsidered coming down to dinner?”

Sighing, she shook her head. “I am supposed to be mad at you, aren’t I? Mrs. Davies had to return to her duty and I know I was keeping Kelly, so I decided to come back down here and see if you could keep me awake. I feel rather sleepy for this time of the day. And, I suppose the fact that I was mad at you slipped my mind.”

“I don’t even remember what you were mad at me about. I do so many damn things a day that could someone could get mad at me for that I would have to keep a list of offenses in order to keep track of it all. My ability to put my foot in my mouth has gotten me into a lot of bloody mischief. Care to refresh my memory on what I did do to make you so irked at me?”

“You intimated that I was a load of mischief.”

“Aren’t you?”

She flared her nostrils the way she did whenever she was perturbed. He had a feeling he would see her doing that quite a lot in the future.

“I…” she stared at him with her eyes wide, and mouth open, closing it, she took a moment to compose herself. “No one ever speaks to me the way you do.”

“I show you respect.”

“Yes, but you also give me honesty. Blunt to the extreme, and yet, I think I like it. At least I don’t have to worry about you lying to me.”

“I don’t have the brain for it. I would lose track of my lies, and end up betraying myself. I have a hard enough time keeping track of the truth.”

She laughed. “Oh, Felix. I don’t think there is another man like you out there.”

“Some would say that would be a scary thought. Two of me. My mother would faint. One was enough trouble for her to keep up with.”

She laughed again. “Our lives will be filled with laughter, won’t they?”

“Probably. I seem to do enough stupid things during the day to make me a bloody court jester.”

“You are not stupid, Felix. You, sir, are my hero.”

God. How could he be anyone’s hero, let alone hers?

She was talking sweet to him again. He was going to lose control. Come what may, he couldn’t go as far as he wanted to go with her tonight. Her health was more important than his pleasure.
