"Tea?" he asked. She nodded, her eyes widening when he poured for her. Men never did that. "Had to fend for myself from time to time in India," he explained, reading her thoughts perfectly. "Here you go." She took the delicate china cup and sat, allowing the warmth of the tea to seep through the china and into her hands. She blew lightly on it, then took a taste, testing the temperature. "Biscuit?" He held out a plat

She perched on the edge of the really, her legs open to him, although not nearly enough for what he wanted to do. The skirt of her dress still hung siren between her thighs, shielding her from his view, but somehow that made her almost more tempting. He didn't need to see her, he realized, not yet, anyway.

But I- - from the Countess of Kilmartin to her deceased husband, ten months after Michael's departure for India, crumpled with a muttered, "This is madness," and tossed in the fire

"I shall be just fine, I assure you." Violet nodded, but from her expression, Francesca could see that she would have liked to have said more.
