A Scandalous Lady (2014)
“Three sets of eyes turned as one toward the doorway where Devon stood, Lucy behind her, both wearing identical expressions of shock.
“What is going on here?”
Troyce knew how it must look—himself sprawled on the floor, Faith, hovering over him, her hair mussed, her cheeks flushed, and Miles all but slobbering over her hand.
“A small mishap, Devon, nothing more.” He rolled to his side, pushed himself off the floor, and struggled to his feet. At least his stomach had settled and the sharp throbbin...g in his groin had subsided. There was still a lingering tenderness, but his equipment didn’t seem to have sustained any permanent damage. He was lucky he hadn’t been crippled. “Faith, perhaps you should see if Millie needs any assistance in the kitchen.”
Nodding vigorously, she marched past Devon, out of the study. As if sensing that her presence was not required, either, Lucy followed, leaving himself, Miles, and Devon alone in the room.
The air went thick with tension. A near-violent electricity swirled between his sister and his best friend, a storm of disquiet.MoreLess
