But his gaze wasn’t lazy; it was predatory, like an animal on the scent. ‘My father and I are down from Scotland’ Zelda replied, half breathless under the unmistakable lust in his eyes, the warmth of his hand still tingling on her skin; her heart suddenly pounding.

“He’d only just met her, he told himself, as though the newness and novelty was the explanation for his unusual feelings. Or perhaps he was simply overreacting to her rare innocence and highly sensual nature. That combination didn’t come into his life every day.

The girl felt she had no proper shape, no sides as it were, and she dreamed of being more fixed, more clever, of winning the admiration of brilliant unknown people.

I must be losing my mind.” It”
