Forgetting himself completely, Griffin muttered a hasty, “Good night,” before stalking into the Clearview dining room and shutting the door behind him. It wasn’t until he’d poured himself his second glass of brandy that he was levelheaded enough to reflect on the fact that he should have waited for Miss Howard and her mother to head upstairs before quitting their company.

He was just so bloody furious he could scarcely see straight, and he had been so for several hours now. So he’d snatched the first chance he’d gotten to escape the woman who’d caused his blood to run hot through his veins all evening. First, on account of the gown she’d worn and then, by enjoying the attention of Mr. Damnhimtohell David Partridge.

His gaze had lingered on her as if she’d been a delectable feast he was hoping to one day devour. He had paid particular attention to the swell of her breasts when he’d bowed over her hand, pretending gentlemanly politeness when Griffin had practically been able to see every sordid fantasy he hoped to play out with her painted in the air.

Christ almighty!

Griffin raked his fingers through his hair and squeezed his eyes shut while pinching the bridge of his nose. He’d never experienced jealousy before, certainly not this all-consuming variety and never because of a woman. It had made him almost barbaric, his need to conquer and claim her and put her off limits to all other men so intense, he’d completely lost focus of what truly mattered.

Griffin tightened his grip on his glass. Perhaps he should leave her to it. Leave in the morning and go back to Vienna. Put as much distance between himself and Miss Emily Howard as possible. Before he lost his mind completely. Before she reduced him to a fool.

Hell.

She’d already done so. His unacceptable behavior this evening was proof enough. And it had to be stopped.

He took another deep swallow of brandy just as the dining room door eased open. The snick of the handle drew his attention. His head turned sideways, and his eyes settled perfectly on the woman whose presence he’d grown so fond of.

Yes, damn it. He more than wanted and desired her. He needed her in a way that he’d never needed anyone else before. Even though she had the power to turn him into a raving lunatic. She was still wearing the red gown, and the only thing he could think of as she stepped further into the room and closed the door behind her was what it might be like to pull her neckline down over her shoulders. Would she sigh with pleasure or push him away when he pressed his mouth to her
