The Seduction of Lady X
“She wore a wide straw hat that had slipped off her head and hung down her back. Sunshine glinted in her hair. She was dressed in a white dotted swiss gown with pink and green ribbons, and a green spencer coat. She looked like spring.
She carried a basket of clippings on her arm. A ribbon had been threaded around the handle but had come undone and trailed behind her.
She was studying some newly planted rose bushes, and he admired the elegant curve of her chin and her long slender neck as he approached. For some reason, her profile reminded him of her wedding day. He’d never forget how she looked standing next to the marquis, dressed in a silk the color of morning clouds. A shy smile of pleasure had graced her lips, and she’d peeked up at the marquis, her eyes shining, her expression full of radiant happiness and hope.
