Probably she intended to cry out and burst into the public room. Probably she would have done it, too, had not Harry Rayburn clapped his hand over her mouth and pulled her back. “Don’t.” His breath was warm and his lips brushed her ear softly sending fresh tremors of sensation across her skin. “Think a minute. Is that him?” Leannah nodded. He seemed to be taking a very long time about letting her go. But then, she wasn’t struggling to get away as she should have been. “All right.” Mr. Rayburn lowered his hand from her mouth, but he did not loosen his grip on her arm. His body felt solid and warm and infinitely inviting against her back. “Your sister will have stayed with the carriage while he makes sure the rooms are ready. You go out and get her. I’ll detain this fellow.” Leannah nodded again and now Harry did let her go. Her mouth tingled from the press of his hand. She needed to tell him to stop touching her, even in these extremes.
