Chapter Four

George stared at Lydia for so long she had to force herself not to fidget. Had she and Molly read it all so wrongly? No, it wasn’t possible. Molly knew all the right people to ask questions, and she had assured Lydia this was the way to progress. It had taken several lessons from Molly, and a lady of the ton, to explain and show Lydia how to act. The lady, by name and nature, was most informative.

“George Stokoe has a reputation of riding his ladies hard and fast, but not of deflowering virgins or despoiling young innocents. If you are a virgin?”

Lydia flushed the color of her companion’s dress, and nodded.

“Then your job may well be harder. You will need to show him it’s your utmost desire to be fucked by the finest, and your initiation is to be from him and him alone. George is a fair man, and he will know if you are in earnest. He is well liked by his peers, and the ladies whom he favors or lets down gently, and considered to be a gentleman by all. For you see, he only plays with those who know the rules.”

“If he weds me he won’t. Ride ladies, whether they know the rules or not. I will be his mount, and only I will be his plaything,” Lydia had responded fiercely. “Rules be damned, I will not share.”

“Bravo,” Hermione had replied. “Now it’s up to you.”

So it is up to me to do it.

‘”No answer, my lord?” Lydia hoped she didn’t show how her knees knocked, and her stomach churned. She strove to keep her voice light, almost amused, and level. She moved from one foot to the other in order to relax her toes, which she’d scrunched up in tension, and did her best to take deep, level breaths. Whoever said worry had a smell was correct. It hung in the air like the wood smoke from the fire. Sweet, sickly, heavy, and vaguely menacing. As if it could take over. “I’m disappointed, I was sure you wouldn’t leave a lady to wait for your response.”

“Oh, I think you know the reply, my dear.” He rubbed one hand over the other. “I admire your intentions, if not the way you essay them. Tell me, where does your mama think you are?”

The change of subject made her start, and she had to unscramble her brain before she could answer him. “Ah, with Tilly Hammond and spending the night with the Countess of Addersley. Addersley has had to make an unexpected visit to one of his estates, and it was decided Adriana shouldn’t accompany him in her condition. She is due to increase very soon, and the only journey Ash wants her to undertake is to be confined at their country home. It is very convenient.”

“As you say.” Once again the saturnine expression on his face made her restless. “Stop fidgeting.” He snapped the words out and stopped her mid-movement. How her jaw didn’t gape, Lydia had no idea.
