What the hell game was she trying to play at now? She ignored him throughout dinner. Not once had she turned to him. His Iris was flirting quite openly with Goodland and if his friend didn’t stop responding, he was going to have to beat him bloody.

“I’ve always found dreams a prelude to the real thing,” Goodland began. “A good one prepares you for the genuine pleasure that awaits you.”

“Is that so?” Iris said, leaning a little closer. “Tell me about your last dream.”

Bloody hell... Daniel clenched his fork in his hand. His knuckles were white as he fought the rage building inside of him. Goodland better not answer that question truthfully.

“I haven’t dreamed anything substantial in quite some time,” Goodland answered. “There’s been a lack of inspiration of late.”

Goodland turned to the lady on his other side, Daniel’s sister, Lady Calliope. “What about you?” he asked her. “What do you think of dreams?”

“Dreams are a wonderful way for us to imagine what we have trouble reaching in our waking moments. It’s like a wish brought forward, but one we don’t dare to achieve.”

“That’s lovely,” Goodland said in a warm tone.

Thank God they were on the last course. Goodland was flirting with Iris and Daniel’s sister. He was going to kill him. There was no way around it. He didn’t want to do it. Goodland was a good friend to have, but he was going too far. Both Iris and Calliope were out of his league. Especially since he made it clear that he would never marry, and he wanted his family’s title to die with him. He had a lot of hatred for his father.

They finished the last course. Everyone stood. “Ladies,” the duchess began. “If you’ll join me in the sitting room for after-dinner drinks.” She smiled at them. “Gentlemen, follow my husband to the game room. I believe he has something special planned for you all.”

They separated and went to their designated rooms. Daniel wanted to pull Iris aside and kiss her senseless. It wasn’t the time or place for it. Besides, he had to deal with Goodland first. They went into the game room. Lindsey poured them all snifters of brandy and passed them out. “Now that dinner is over, the real fun can begin.”

“What did you have in mind?” Winchester asked. “It’s been a long day.”

“You’re an old married man now,” Goodland said, then laughed. “You can stay here longer. We don’t have the opportunity to gather together like this anymore.”

“He’s right,” Merrifield said. “Some of us are old married men now. With wives waiting in a warm bed.” He laughed at the stricken look on Goodland’s face.

“Don’t rub it in,” Goodland said. “Some of us have a cold bed.”

“You can fix that, you know,” Lindsey said. “Find a woman willing to put up with you and you’ll always have that warm bed.”

“No, thank you,” Goodland said. “I will have another snifter of brandy though.” He held out his glass for Lindsey to pour brandy into it.
