Landon peered up from the stack of correspondence he’d diligently worked on since they entered the traveling coach. His teasing gaze lowered to her chest and then wandered back up to meet her eyes. Her cheeks flushed, but she remained silent. She glanced down at his impressive penmanship—neat and precise as if he had written his responses at his old desk at the offices of Neale & Sons and not jostled about traveling along a Scottish road. Having departed late in the day, they wouldn’t make it far before having to stop. Bronwyn crossed her arms and pushed the swell of her bosom up. Her nipples threatened to peek out from her décolleté. “Will we be traveling past dusk?”

Landon folded up his traveling desk and hastily placed it on the seat next to him. He slid over to sit next to her. “No. I’d not dare take the risk and place you in danger.”

Bronwyn frowned and turned to face her husband. The Network had inns strategically placed within a solid day’s travel of each other. “But the next suitable inn is at least another half day’s travel.”

“Lord and Countess Waterford reside not far from here. They will be delighted to host us for a night.”

Landon dipped his head, and she leaned in to meet his lips. The man created an insatiable need within her. Hiking up her skirts, she straddled him.

Settled upon his lap, she cupped his face and said, “Lord Waterford’s family is the only one within the Network to have served PORFs longer than mine. I’m told his wife is the daughter of a duke and possesses unusual talents.”

“Lady Mary is an angel.”

The admiration in her husband’s tone set her blood to boil. Sorry she had mentioned the lady’s name, Bronwyn set out to banish Lady Mary from Landon’s mind. She lowered her mouth to kiss him, and in doing so, her gown slid lower, displaying her pert nipples. Landon cupped her breast and rolled her tender nipples between his forefinger and thumb while his tongue invaded her mouth. A low moan escaped her throat as his left hand ran along the back of her calf and then rested on the top of her thigh.

Bronwyn pulled back and gasped for air. “I’m nervous about meeting the couple. What if they…”

“There is no need to be worried. They will adore you as I do.” Landon gave her a hard-searing kiss. “As wife to the PORF who possesses the rondure, they have pledged their loyalty and allegiance to you.”

That was the problem. Going forward, many would treat her with respect and reverence merely due to the fact she was Landon’s wife, and not because she had earned their regard.

The horses’ hooves slowed to a walk, and the crunch of pebbles beneath the wheels indicated they had turned off the dirt path and onto Waterford’s estate. Bronwyn scrambled off Landon’s lap and fell back onto his traveling desk. Sliding to the seat, she adjusted her dress and was smoothing out her skirts as the coach came to a halt.
