Rebel Enchantress
“Stebbens handing Delilah the plates to dry as she rinsed them off, when Nathan entered the kitchen.
“You’re supposed to be in the drawing room” he said.
“I have to help Mrs. Stebbens,” Delilah replied.
“Lester can do it. Here, put that plate down and come with me.”
Delilah knew if she really looked at Nathan she would never have the strength of mind to do what she must. He wore a blue broadcloth coat, a white silk waistcoat worked with royal blue thread, white hose embroidered with blue clocks,... black shoes with silver buckles, and breeches of pure white cashmere, soft, clinging, and more provocative than anything she had ever seen.
She kept her eyes on the plate she was drying.
“Thank you for your invitation, but I can’t accept it.”
“Why?”
“It’s not suitable.”
“Why?”
“Surely you know.”
“No. Tell me.”
He’s being obstinate, Delilah thought. A glance at his set chin confirmed her suspicion. Well, he wouldn’t bully her into going into the drawing room and being stared at like a two-headed calf.MoreLess
