Brantford would have his hide if he even suspected he was about to confide in her, but Kerrick knew that the woman in his arms could be trusted to keep his secrets. He wouldn’t make the same mistake Nicholas had made with Louisa the previous fall when he’d done everything in his power to push her away. It meant he was a selfish bastard, but Kerrick wanted to give her a reason to wait for him. The question, though, was whether she would be able to stand back and watch him continue to pay court to another woman. She sat up and his eyes moved straight to her breasts. Desire began to stir again, and he cursed softly. He stood and retrieved his dressing gown. “I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep my thoughts on the subject at hand with you sitting there looking ripe for the plucking.” The corners of her mouth lifted in that special smile she used when she thought he was being amusing and a little ridiculous, but she did take the dressing gown and rose to stand. He watched while she swung the garment around her shoulders, his hands itching to reach out for her again.
