Chapter Ten

IN SILENCE, DUNCAN led her to the chamber where such shocking depravities had occurred the first night she had visited his club. It was not in use for the moment, meaning she could wander through its sumptuous appointments, taking notes as she wished whilst Duncan looked on.

Bereft of its lewd occupants, the space seemed somehow less wicked. Indeed, it was almost as proper as any drawing room, with the exception of the dark crimson wall coverings, immense bed, and shocking pictures depicting nude men and women cavorting. One caught her attention for its ribald subject matter, a woman on her knees before a man, his member in her mouth.

Gasping, she glanced back to find Duncan watching her. His brilliant gaze upon her felt like a caress. In his eyes, she saw the same need that had not stopped burning inside her from the moment he had first set his lips to hers. Each moment she spent in his presence, each kiss, each touch, stoked the fire until it could not be banked.

She was an inferno.

Just yesterday, he had laid his tongue upon her. He had licked her most intimate flesh, had brought her to throbbing release with nothing more than his mouth. The picture and the memory of him pleasuring her made a steady ache throb to life between her thighs. Would it be the same for him if she took him in her mouth?

She wanted to ask, but she dared not give voice to the forbidden words. Cheeks stinging, she turned away from him at last, walking about the chamber and taking notes she knew she would never use later. The research she was currently conducting was not for The Silent Baron, for she could never relate such scandalous details and hope for publication.

No, indeed. This research was for her.

She noted an assortment of riding crops and whips laid out on a table, varying in length and thickness. Puzzled, she turned back to Duncan once more, only to find he had followed her and stood near enough for her to close the distance between them with a single step. His jaw was rigid, his large body radiating tension.

“What is the purpose of these?” she asked.

He shook his head in slow denial, his gaze continuing to burn hotly into hers. “Such detail should not be included in your novel, my lady. It would be beyond the pale.”

It was a fine time for him to draw a line between the depravities he would teach her about and those he would not, and she was having none of it. “Tell me.”

“Some prefer pain with their pleasure.” Though his tone was soft and low—gentle, almost—it possessed an undercurrent of darkness.

Pain with their pleasure. Shock flared as understanding dawned. The men and women who made use of the pleasure chambers at The Duke’s Bastard reveled in all manner of debaucheries, and apparently taking riding crops and whips to each other was yet one more.

She swallowed against a surge of something inside her, part revulsion, part curiosity.
