Risque: A Regency Menage Tale
“I must apologize, Lord Rowan for my brashness. I had
been led to believe something untoward had occurred.” She offered a sincere
smile. “Please forgive me; I’m only here out of concern.”
Rowan took her outstretched hand and kissed the back
of it. “I’m honored to be the recipient of such concern, Mrs. Prescott. There’s
naught to forgive.”
Curtsying again to him in farewell, Alix turned to
leave. Did Kane truly lie or did Rowan simply not admit such a thing to her? She
had no way of knowing the truth. She hadn’t gone but a couple steps when Rowan’s
voice stopped her.
“There was one thing.”
Rowan didn’t continue and Alix turned to face him.
His smile was downright wicked and she felt a flush of arousal.
“Oh?” she asked, hoping her voice sounded more
curious than breathless.
“Mr. Huntington assisted me as I changed into a new
vest.” Rowan’s smile didn’t abate with this cryptic sentence. “He commented as
to your preference in colors, how you preferred darker tones to brighter ones.
I knew then who it was you played your games with.”
“A game,” she said, more harshly than she intended, “you
should never have fallen into the middle of.”
If possible, that smile turned even wickeder. Arousal
pooled between her thighs, shocking her. Not only because she’d never
considered Rowan anything other than a diversion to her game with Kane, but
because Alix still very much wanted Kane.
Rowan stepped closer to her, voice dropping
seductively. “I don’t mind being in the middle. In fact,” he added, lips a
breath from hers, “that would be a rather prized place to be, between you and
Huntington.”
Scandalized, aroused, Alix froze where she was. Rowan
didn’t attempt to kiss her, nor did he move away. His green eyes bore into
hers, holding her in place. She licked her lips, another vision of the pair of
them together sending a bolt of need through her so powerful she could almost
taste it.
“Then Kane didn’t lie,” she managed. “You and
he…engaged in sexual relations?”
He moved closer, still not touching her and Alix
suddenly wanted him to. “I admit, I have a touch of libertine in me.”
