Notorious
“ALEX Grant said, putting aside his newspaper as the butler ushered Dev into the breakfast room at Bedford Street. He eyed his cousin’s evening dress. “Or is it that you have not yet been to bed?”
“The latter,” Dev agreed. He accepted gratefully the cup of coffee Alex poured and pushed in his direction. “No need for that look,” he added dryly. “It was not that sort of a night.”
Alex raised a brow. “I make no judgments,” he said mildly.
Dev shrugged moodily. He could feel his cousin watching him ...and knew that in a moment Alex would put his finger on the precise problem that troubled him because his cousin had always been able to read him like a book. It had been damnably awkward when he had been young and Alex had been his guardian, as well. He had never been able to get away with anything. The nine years seniority Alex possessed had always given him the edge. Added to that, Alex had been a famous explorer, a hero, and Dev had wanted nothing more than to follow in his footsteps and please him.MoreLess
