wife. Stranger things had happened, like Kane and Leed both finding wedded bliss with the women they craved. He just wouldn’t know if she was serious about him or just looking for adventure during her third season out. The thought of her having that adventure with any other man made his stomach clench.
    “I won’t make a mistake,” he vowed softly.
    Maybe she truly did want him, and only him. She was pure—he’d felt proof of that tonight. He’d never heard a hint of scandal or improper behavior on her part, nor did he see her interact inappropriately with any other gentleman. In his sight, that was. No. Constance was his, even if she didn’t realize it yet. When he finally took her, and he would take her, they would both know what the future held.
    “If she truly wants forever,” he murmured. “I’ll give it to her.”
    He breathed in slowly, still tasting the passion he’d licked off his finger. He couldn’t believe he’d done that in front of her, but he couldn’t seem to help himself. Her sweet scent still filled the room. The echoes of her passionate cries still filled his head. He was in a bad way, and not just sporting a rock-hard shaft. He longed for her , not just some nameless, faceless woman.
    When he managed to rein in his lusts somewhat, he stood and pressed a hand against his semi-hard groin. He had to figure this out, and fast. Before he ruined her and his reputation, and any chance they had to be together.

    Constance sat in the parlor the next afternoon, fuming over William’s dismissal of her last night. Her cousin Sarah was with her, as usual, but even the girl’s chatter couldn’t distract her. She knew what she had to do. William was an accomplished lover, if last night was any indication. If she was to secure him, and she wanted so keenly to secure him, she had to learn how to please him.
    She recalled how marvelously free she’d felt after the release he’d given her, and imagined how good he would feel inside her with his cock “hard enough to drive nails.” Perhaps then he’d realize how she needed him in her life, how close he held her heart, though he was unaware of it.
    “Have you listened to a word I’ve said?” Sarah asked.
    Constance shook her head. “I’m sorry. Something about Lord Palmer?”
    Sarah rolled her eyes. She was beginning to tire of people doing that in her direction.
    “Yes, Constance,” Sarah said. “Lord Palmer. I thought he was interested, but it seems he’s mooning after one of the Talbot girls.”
    “Catherine?” Constance asked. “Oh, it would be wonderful if she found someone to love. After what that worm Waltham did to her.”
    “Poor Joan,” Sarah said with a nod. “I say Catherine is better off without that man.”
    Constance nodded her agreement. “Yes.”
    “But no, I was referring to Elizabeth Talbot.” Sarah went on to name the next man in her sights, Lord Palmer’s older brother. “It seems he’s just returned from a year touring the continent. He had a bad experience in the war, apparently.”
    “I don’t imagine many of the men had good experiences, Sarah.”
    “I suppose.”
    While her cousin entertained ideas about the elder Lord Palmer, Constance’s mind worked. However was she to learn how to please William?”
    “Sarah, you always hear the best gossip.”
    “What?” Sarah’s eyes rounded, then she grinned. “Yes, I do.”
    “What do you know about where gentlemen go after the parties break up?”
    Sarah’s brows drew together. “What do you mean?”
    “Titled gentlemen can’t just … relax with young ladies like us, can they?”
    “No, they usually head off to their clubs.”
    Constance shook her head. “No, not for cards and cigars. For relaxation .”
    She raised her brows to get her point across. Sarah blinked, then gasped.
    “You mean pleasure?” she asked.
    “Yes, but keep your voice down. If my mother were to learn of my curiosity, I’d never see the light of day
