Lori Brighton - [The Seduction 02] - Plot & Excerpts
They were completely and utterly alone. Elizabeth swallowed hard as the realization dawned. She was at his mercy. This man she didn’t know. This man who looked as if he could murder someone without a twinge of conscience. Sweat prickled her forehead, although she didn’t dare lift her netting to press a handkerchief to the sensitive skin, for then he would know she was nervous, and she had a feeling her weakness would urge him to pounce. Upon entering the carriage, Gideon had merely leaned back against the rich leather seat and regarded her with barely concealed boredom. He hadn’t said a bloody word. If she hadn’t noticed the slightest rise and fall of his chest, the slow blink of his thick lashes every few moments, she might have thought he was dead. But now the sun had faded, hovering tauntingly upon the horizon. The darkness brought her unease to a new pitch. The lack of light and the small confines made their journey a bit too intimate for her liking. Then again, they could have been an ocean apart and she’d still feel too close to the man.
