Chapter 19

Arrangements for an Assignation

Once he took his leave of Carlington House, George headed straight for Josephine’s townhouse. He found his mistress at home, in her bath, in fact, preparing for an evening at the theatre. While George described what had happened in the park and his intention to prove himself to Elizabeth that very evening, he knelt behind the copper tub.

“What are you doing, George?” she wondered, sitting forward in the tub so that her breasts were pressed against her bent knees.

“I wish to help you with your hair, of course,” he answered in surprise. “You ... you’ve allowed me to in the past.”

Josephine gave him a smile and reluctantly leaned back. As he rubbed rose-scented soap into her hair, taking care to gently rub the suds through the long strands before pouring a pitcher of warm rinse water along her hairline, she sighed. “You’ll make your wife an excellent lady’s maid,” she teased, closing her eyes as a curtain of water streamed over her face.

“You once told me that having your hair washed by me was the most sensuous feelings you ever experienced,” he countered in a quiet voice, his hands squeezing water out of her hair before he refilled the pitcher and repeated the rinsing.

Josephine didn’t reply to his comment, but instead offered her assistance in planning the execution of the evening’s plan. She insisted on being involved, reminding George that he needed a wife and this was an opportunity for him to court a suitable woman.

Once she was out of the tub and wrapped in a dressing gown, she saw to most of the details for the evening, from the menu planning to arranging how George was going to return Elizabeth to her home by two in the morning.

But the details for how he would go about fulfilling Lady Elizabeth’s request had been left up to George. He couldn’t help but notice Josephine’s lack of advice in that regard. She lectured him at length about making sure he kept a pleasant expression on his face. Warned him that, despite how passionate he might feel about the lady, he would have to maintain control of himself. “If you are successful in pleasuring her – if she even allows you to touch her most intimate places – she may very well offer her virtue,” she’d said by way of a warning.

To which he had scoffed and replied, “Only in my very best dreams.”

One of her eyebrows cocked in a manner suggesting she was privy to rather important information. “Women can become quite wanton when they’re given half a chance,” Josephine countered, her arms crossing in front of her chest. Alarmed by the comment, George swallowed. Hard. His mistress could not help but notice. “Sensuality is not a sin, George,” she said with a shake of her head. “If she believes she is committing a sin is at any point during the evening, then you have lost.” And then she scolded him before reminding him that Lady Elizabeth’s motive for agreeing to the evening’s itinerary was borne of curiosity.
