Deandra all but floated into Arthur’s arms as the waltz began. He was tall for a man with broad shoulders. A fine specimen of a gentleman who enjoyed the outdoors and horse riding. A man that, after one kiss, she knew would be as good in bed as he was at everything else.

His hand settled against her waist, his fingers tightening, flexing against her flesh through the silk of her gown, and she fought not to shiver. But it was no use; his mere proximity to her left her reeling. Her mind at sixes and sevens.

She looked up and met his gaze and could not glance away. His deep-blue, stormy eyes watched her with a raptness she had never seen. Deandra swallowed her nerves, hoping she would not misstep and give away how thrown she was by what was happening between them.

After all, she was supposed to be the master of seduction. Be the one teaching him how to go about getting a wife. Not have him seduce her, only to leave her to marry another, longing for a future that she could only dream about.

“How is this?” he asked, pulling her closer still.

The hem of her gown brushed his Hessions, her breasts but a breath from his chest. They were too close by society’s standards, anyone would know that, but the crush of dancers on the floor meant very few would notice … this time.

“Adequate.” Her fingers moved farther on his shoulder, and she could not help but take the opportunity to feel the corded muscles in his back as they flexed during the dance. Warmth pooled at her core, and she had the urge to throw herself at his head, having him hold her as he had last evening and give her what she wanted.

Release.

His hand moved from her waist to her back, his touch too familiar as his thumb brushed her spine. “I’ve never noticed before, and to my detriment, but you dance like a queen and are as beautiful this evening as I’ve ever known you.”

Deandra fought not to sigh at his delightful words. The man was far too accomplished for his own good. How had he become so well-versed in seduction with no prior training? It would not take much for any woman being held in his arms to become a puddle of liquid at his feet.

“You flatter, but it is not me you need to seduce Arthur,” she replied, her tone light and teasing, wanting to make a jest out of his words instead of believing them. Allowing herself to be carried away by them.

There was no future for her with him. He wanted things in life she could not give him, even if she desperately wanted to.

“But for this to work, I’m to seduce you before anyone else.” He paused, dipping his head far too close for propriety. “Is it working, my darling Dee Dee?”

Her gaze, damn herself, dipped to his lips, and she nodded without thinking. “You are a master already.”
