Chapter

Fourteen

So far, Dominic's plan was working perfectly well. Today would have a pleasant outing, a picnic and good conversation, and nothing more. He would not push Paris to be intimate with him nor insinuate that he wished to strip her of her pretty carriage dress and have his way with her on the grass. Nothing.

The pleasure of her company was all he required, and he hoped that today was the start of a new friendship between them.

A renewed beginning that they deserved.

He caught sight of her glancing up through the trees as they passed beneath them, the dappled light playing across her pretty features. She made his breath catch, and he cursed himself a fool for letting her go.

He could only thank God for small mercy’s that he had not known she married. He could not have stomached such a truth.

But soon, she would be his again. She would see that he adored her and wanted only her and no one else in the ton. He just hoped she would not find out how deficient his finances were before she fell at his feet.

She would not have him then. She would think he had been a liar, a cad who played her a second time to gain the money she inherited.

Not that he knew for sure that she was a wealthy widow, but there had been talk that Lord Hervey left her a sizable sum to keep her well for the remainder of her life.

"My sisters Lady Anwen and Lady Kate are twins, if you do not recall. At eighteen, you can understand that they're both very opinionated, and those opinions usually mean that everyone else is wrong and they are right." He laughed. "But in all honestly, they are the best of friends, and I adore them. I hope they both find love."

Paris sighed at his side, staring ahead as if lost to her own world. For a moment, he thought she might not have been listening. "You sound as if you've become a romantic, my lord. Do not say it is so," she teased.

"There is no shame in being a romantic. Why even now, I cannot believe how fortuitous I am to be here with you, have your company once again. I have missed you," he admitted.

She rolled her eyes, but a pretty pink blush stole across her cheeks. "You always had a way with words."

"I only have a way with words when what I say is true." They came to a corner, and he slowed the carriage, turning with little trouble.

"This place we're to picnic. Have you been here before?" she asked.

"Several times. Sometimes during the heat of summer, when we were in town for the Season, we would come up here to swim. This property abuts Richmond Park, but is on private land."

"Oh, there's a river? How wonderful. I shall like to dip my toes."

He glanced at the sky, the sun getting higher each minute. "Well, it is certainly warm enough for such enjoyment today," he said.
