Heiress Of Hyde Park – Jacqueline Navin

“I have never been burdened by that attribute. You can- not have forgotten how shameless I am.” “Ah. I recall it now.” “So, I am basking in my success, enjoying this brandy and your company. And hoping for further developments.” Her heart gave one giddy leap and began to thump more emphatically. She jerked her chin up and tried to appear un- fazed. “Leading to my bed?”

“Or the carpet. It appears accommodating enough.” She was so shocked that she laughed when she should have sent him a prim scowl. But that had always been her failing. His rakish behavior had the power to amuse her, disarm her, charm her. Yes, that was it, that slow melting feeling that was too delicious to resist. “No one laughs at my jokes the way you do,” he ob- served. “And it is such a wonderful laugh, by the way. No, people mistake my sarcasm constantly.

They think I am se- rious when I am merely being self-deprecating, or they think me outlandish.” “You are outlandish.” “And brazen?” “That of course. Do not appear so pleased. It is not a compliment.” “It has stood me in good stead. Take the night we first kissed, for example.

I recall how I teased you that night. said unforgivably bold things. I was testing you, waiting to see how you would react. Would you be shocked and slap me for the devil I was? Would you demur, giving a token re- buff yet encouraging me at the same time?

And trust your oppositional soul, you did neither. You stared at me outright, as if daring me. I swear you had my pride on the line so that I had to dredge up the courage to pursue you or slink off in humiliation and never show my face again.” It was true. She’d been wanting him to kiss her for so long.
