CHAPTER 9

William was ecstatic that Victoria had agreed to spend the day with him. He planned on showing her every nook and cranny of Lilimar. He hoped that, if he couldn’t entice her to stay with the offer of his love, perhaps he could make her fall for his home instead.

He had a picnic basket packed with cold ham, bread, cheese, wine, and fresh fruit. William wanted to entice every single one of her senses. This was his one chance, and he would not waste it. He picked up the basket and carried it to the foyer where they agreed to meet. When he arrived, his heart skipped a beat. She was so lovely. Victoria wore a blue velvet walking dress. Her blonde hair was pinned up into a simple chignon. A stray lock escaped and curved around her cheek. He resisted the urge to push it behind her ear. He didn’t want to frighten her away before their day even began. William held his hand out to her. “Are you ready to depart?”

She smiled. “I am. What do you have planned?” Victoria motioned to the picnic basket. “Will we be away for the entire day?”

“That is what you agreed to, is it not?” He lifted a brow. “Or have you had a change of heart?” William feared she would find a reason to run from him again. If she did… He wouldn’t let her go so easily this time. Her reasons might have seemed ridiculous to him, but they were real for her. So during the war, he’d respected them because he didn’t have much choice. He had a duty, and so had she. Now though… He’d chase after her no matter how long it took. He would win her heart. Chances were he already had. It wasn’t her love he doubted so much as her ability to take a leap of faith. They could have something wonderful if she allowed herself to accept it.

Her cheeks flushed pink. She parted her lips and let out a breath. He hadn’t realized she’d been holding it in. When she spoke, there was no hesitation. “I have not. Please lead the way.”

He headed to the front door and opened it, then gestured for her to exit first. After she went past him, he followed behind her, carrying the basket. A car had been brought to the front. He opened the passenger door for her and assisted her inside. Once she was settled in, he placed the basket in the back of the car, then went to the driver side.

“Where are we going?” she asked.

“You’ll see,” he answered cryptically.

There were certain parts of Lilimar that they couldn’t reach by car. She’d seen one of his favorite places on the plantation the day before. Now he wanted to take her to a secluded area. He had no wish to be disturbed. If they stayed anywhere near the house, one of his family members would interrupt and then he might lose her. William needed her, and he intended for her to see how much.
