Promise of Pleasure (2010)
Promise of Pleasure
“Are you in here?”
Lauretta tiptoed into his bedchamber and scanned the empty room.
From the looks of the tidy blankets, he hadn’t slept in his own bed, so where was he? In whose bed had he slept instead?
She was his paid consort, so she was in no position to complain about his conduct. He’d made no vows of fidelity, nor would she have demanded any.
Yet she liked to know what he was doing and with whom he was doing it. If she wasn’t vigilant, a less scrupulous female could slip in and take her p...lace before she even realized what was happening.
It was important to be cautious.
“Where are you, you bastard?”
She searched his dresser drawers and coat pockets but she found no pertinent clues, so she gave up and headed downstairs to the dining room. Felicity was sitting at the table and gulping down a huge breakfast.
“Have you seen Lord Redvers?” Lauretta asked, hating to admit that she, herself, had no idea where he was.
“No,” the snotty girl answered, “have you?”
Lauretta wondered what Felicity had been told as to the true status of Lauretta’s relationship with Redvers.MoreLess
