CHAPTER ELEVEN

Penny strolled with Jason along the river-bank in the sunshine, his arm about her waist, his dark eyes gazing warmly into hers. She knew she was dreaming because she couldn't feel the ground beneath her feet. She wanted to dream forever.

The creak of a door hinge, the click of a latch dropping transported her instantly, in the manner of dreams, to a bedchamber. She was lying in bed, watching drowsily as he entered her room, a candle illuminating his face for a moment before he turned away to cross the room with slightly unsteady steps. Shadows danced. He set the candle on the dressing-table, took off his coat, his neckcloth, his waistcoat, unfastened his shirt.

Raising herself on one elbow to watch his silhouette, she marvelled at the wantonness of her imagination. The strap of her chemise slipped off her shoulder, exposing one breast. It didn’t matter—it was only a dream. But as he turned towards her she ventured a sleep-slurred token protest.

“What’re you doing here?”

With a start of surprise he reached for his candle. Holding it high, he approached the bed and stood looking down at her. The flickering light glinted on a silver pendant about his neck, rippled and quivered enigmatically across his face. Penny’s breath caught in her throat.
