Evie woke with a start several hours later after a hearty lunch at Uxbridge, as promised. The carriage rolled to an abrupt halt. She sat up, rubbing her neck and realized that she’d been sleeping on Finn. She threw him a small smile and glanced out the window. This was not her house, and from the look of the massive Georgian mansion they’d pulled up before, this was most definitely the duke’s.

As promised, the duke had not tried to kiss her again on their journey into town. Instead, he had purchased a pack of cards from the inn where they had broken their fast, and they had played several games of vingt-et-un before she’d begged for a reprieve to simply relax and enjoy her last few hours with the duke.

It was only a matter of time before she’d grown tired from the rocking of the carriage and had fallen asleep. That she’d woken up with her head in the duke’s lap was not what she’d imagined when she’d closed her eyes.

Evie sat up, the duke stilling as she came to sit up next to him. She glanced at him and saw that he too looked like he’d just woken up from slumber. “I do apologize, Finn. I did not mean to make use of your lap in such a way.”

He adjusted his seat, rubbing a hand over his jaw as he tried to take in his surroundings. “Do not trouble yourself, Miss Milton. No one shall ever know that we’ve slept together.”

Heat rushed up her neck to settle on her cheeks. She glanced at him quickly and read the horror that his words wrecked on his visage.

“I do apologize, Evie. My words came out wrong. I merely meant to say that our napping in the carriage was perfectly normal and not in any way untoward. We’re fully clothed, are we not?”

Evie glanced down at her gown just to make sure she was indeed fully clothed. “We’re stopping here for the night?” she asked, wanting to change the subject. How could she have fallen asleep with her head in the duke’s lap? Her mother would suffer apoplexy if she knew. As for her father, he would demand a wedding. “I thought you were taking me to my home with Molly.”

“We are,” he said, seemingly thankful for her change of subject. “It is very late, and I did not want to throw your household into an uproar at your return. My staff is expecting us, and they will have a room ready for you. No one will ever know you stayed here. It is only for one night. I shall return you to your home tomorrow should we not need to travel north after your sister.”

Evie was too tired to argue with his plan and simply took his hand, thankful for his support as she stepped out of the carriage for the first time in as many hours. Her back ached, and she leaned back, trying to loosen her tight, sore muscles. “May I have a bath brought to my room, Your Grace.
