‘As you say.’ She picked up the pint of ale. ‘Can you lift your head enough to drink this?’

‘I can try. Otherwise, you will have to help me.’ A wicked grin showed white teeth.

‘I don’t have to do anything, Mr Hawthorne. But I might be persuaded to help you.’

‘Since my predicament is your fault, Miss Stockton.’

Instead of going back to the same argument, she held out the pint. He raised his head, and she put the edge of the mug to his mouth. When he closed his mouth to signal he had had enough, she took the mug away. He had foam on his upper lip.

She set the half-empty mug on the table, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. The cloth caught just a little on the roughness of his beard. This was the closest she had ever been to him, and her body was behaving worse than it had during their waltz. She resisted the urge to run her finger along his jaw and feel the black stubble that gave a ruthless cast to his features.

‘You must want a shave,’ she managed to say around the tightness in her throat.

‘You can do it for me.’

His answer was so provocative she gasped. ‘I would likely slit your throat.’ Thankfully her voice hadn’t been husky. It was bad enough she wanted to do more than feed him. It would be beyond bearable if he found out.

He chuckled deep in his throat. ‘Would that make you feel bad?’

She realised he was teasing her. The knowledge brought warmth to her body. ‘I should feel bad if I hurt anyone.’

‘Of course.’

His voice was a soft drawl that slid over her senses like satin on bare skin. She shivered. ‘Cheese?’

Not waiting for him to answer, she broke off a piece of the strong yellow cheese and brought it to his mouth. He opened his lips slowly, his gaze never leaving her face.

‘Feed me.’
