“You do seem to possess an absurd predilection for your ruination, Miss Vanreid.”
She startled him by stepping nearer to him, her skirts billowing against his legs. “One could say the same for you. Why do you watch, Your Grace? Does it intrigue you? Perhaps you would like a turn.”
Jesus. Lust slammed through him, hot and hard and demanding. He’d never, in all his years of covert operations, gotten a stiff cock during an investigation. Thanks to the golden vixen before him, he had one now. While he’d already decided she was not involved in the plot, he was still on duty until he reported back to Carlisle in the morning. He wasn’t meant to be attracted to Daisy Vanreid, who was not at all as she seemed.
Still, he found himself flattening his palm over her heart, absorbing its quick thump that told him she wasn’t as calm as she pretended. The contact of her bare skin to his, more than the mere tip of a finger, was jarring.
“Are you offering me one?” he asked at last.
Her lashes lowered, her full, pink lips parting. “Yes.”
And he knew right then that he’d been wrong about Daisy Vanreid. She bloody well was the dynamite.
