CHAPTER 14

It was illogical, but Agatha found herself craving a kind of revenge. She couldn’t comprehend how her own body had yielded to such excruciating pleasure—pleasure that left her trembling, vulnerable, and still aching for fulfillment after a night of restless sleep. What stung even more was the knowledge that the earl had maintained his control while she had been utterly undone. It gnawed at her, the thought that he had reasserted command over himself while she had spiraled into sensation. She wanted to unravel him the way he had undone her.

“Let me see if we understand,” Ellen said slowly, sharing a conspiratorial glance with Bea. “You want to know how to drive Lord Radbourne to the brink, to make him suffer with pleasure?”

“Yes.”

Bea chuckled softly. “Oh, darling, after your lesson last night, do you wish to challenge the earl? He seemed to be a master at forced pleasure and of himself. No lady here has ever made him lose any sense of himself. Radbourne has never been enamored of anyone, and if a lady seemed to like him too much or became clingy, he dismissed her.”

“There’s no chance he’ll dismiss me. As my tutor and a man of honor, he’ll see his commitment through to the end.”

“You seem to know him well,” Ellen said, canting her head to study Agatha.

“I know only what he shows me,” she said.

“Have you considered that might turn the tables on you again for another lesson? Not only the fourth floor will hear your pleas for mercy.”

Agatha’s cheeks flushed, but she held her ground. “Perhaps.”

“There are so many ways to torment a man using only your mouth.” Bea leaned in, her gaze gleaming with mischievous delight. “You must learn to draw out the anticipation, tease him until he is desperate for more.”

“How?”

Ellen’s smile widened, her voice dropping to a sultry whisper. “Start slowly ... kiss him in places he does not expect, perhaps the hollow of his throat, just beneath the ear. Men are sensitive there, more than they care to admit. Light, feathery touches with your lips, never rushing.”

Bea frowned thoughtfully. “The earl has bedded neither Ellen nor me. However, he has been with Hettie ... and she mentioned though he is a giving lover he is also ... cold and indifferent to her touches. She never made him lose control, and whenever she tried, he merely smiled with that mocking humor in his eyes. Lady Susanna then took up the challenge and failed miserably.”

Oh! “Bloody hell,” Agatha whispered.

Ellen smiled—a sly, almost dangerous curve of her lips. “I think you should still try.”

“I agree,” Bea added, her eyes dancing with devilish amusement. “Tell him you want to see and understand the male body. You want to ... touch and be familiar so you are not scared.”

“I like that,” Agatha said, smiling.

“Take this chance to touch him all over, all for education purposes, of course,” Ellen said. “Trace his skin with your tongue, the curve of his jaw, the hollow of his collarbone. Let your breath be warm against his skin, but never too much contact.
