Immediately she rang through to the kitchen and told Sophie to hurry and take coffee to Nicola. A part of Cassandra wanted Sophie to be too late, so that she could report this act of defiance to the baron, but another part of her realised that the girl was only half-awake and scarcely conscious of what she was doing. Luckily for Nicola, although Sophie took quite a long time, she herself came to her senses just as her fingers began to edge up her soft thighs. She suddenly remembered the baron's words and quickly withdrew her hand. She couldn't imagine how he would know if she disobeyed him, but at this early stage she didn't dare take the chance of risking his disapproval. No sooner had she drunk the coffee that Sophie brought her than she heard a light tap on the door. 'Come in,' she called hesitantly, wondering if it was the baron back to explore her body once more. Cassandra entered, and noticed the hint of disappointment in Nicola's eyes. It seemed that her experiences the night before hadn't put her off the baron despite her protests at the time.
