Chapter Ten

It took a moment for the words to penetrate Cam’s fog of fury. He’d waited a long time to pummel the man who’d kept Charlotte from him.

Not her lover. Her brother.

Elation ballooned in his chest. Giving Fuller one final shove, he rolled into a sitting position, his bent legs splayed out in front of him, his feet planted on the floor. “What the devil do you mean?”

“My brother.” She sank down on the bed, her tone one of weary resignation.

He stared at her. “How is that possible?”

“Are you daft?” Gripping a nearby chair, Fuller hauled himself to his feet, his hand coming up to gingerly assess his bloodied nose. “There is only one way it usually occurs. I am her father’s by-blow.” He inhaled a harsh breath. “Is that clear enough for even you to understand?”

Cam studied Fuller, for the first time really taking in the light blue eyes and long, trim frame, which now struck him as familiar. So like the man’s sister. He felt like a fool. Had he ever bothered to look, really look, he would have hit upon the truth, which had been right there in front of him all along. Physically, Fuller resembled his sister far more than the shorter, rounder Shellborne did. Now Fuller’s cultivated manner began to make perfect sense. He’d been born a baron’s son.

“That explains why you don’t have a servant’s bearing.” He gingerly touched his tender lip. “If you were acknowledged and your father saw fit to educate you, why the devil are you in service?”

“My sire did not acknowledge me.” His lip curled. “He allowed my education with a governess but no further. Everyone at Shellborne Manor accepted that I was his issue. Regardless, he died without making any kind of provision for his bastard son.” Fuller narrowed his eyes. “Now that we have settled that, perhaps you would care to explain what you are doing in a state of undress in my sister’s bedchamber?”

Cam heaved himself off the floor, not missing the ominous look on Fuller’s face. “There was an intruder in the manor. I came to assure Char…uh…your sister’s safety and wellbeing.”

Fuller’s brows knit. “An intruder?”

“You also have some explaining to do,” Charlotte said to her brother. “Why are you stealing into my room in the dead of night?”

Cam swung around to look at her, surprised by the sound of her voice. He had almost forgotten her presence. The excitement of the evening shone in her radiant eyes, contrasting with the heightened color of her cheeks. Her flimsy wrapper clung to the soft contours of her sweet breasts and the subtle flare of her hips, leaving little to the imagination.

Praise heaven she didn’t wear a nightcap. Her silky, straight tresses tumbled loosely about the shoulders, streaming down the small of her back like a satin curtain. The cinnamon-colored locks were much longer than he’d anticipated. The glistening strands draped over her exquisitely rounded bottom. Heat pooled between his legs.

Thankfully, Fuller and his sister were focused on each other.
