Their Wicked Ways
“ Unfortunately, she was. She didn’t delude herself that it had anything to do with a drought of sexual relations in general. Isaac had been gone many years, and she hadn’t suffered unduly for the lack of a bed companion. If she had, there were plenty willing and able to fill her needs.
She would’ve liked to think she hadn’t accepted because she was too good, too much a lady. She didn’t delude herself about that either. She hadn’t because she hadn’t been greatly tempted.
Now, she was. ... The devil sat upon her shoulder day and night--mostly at night, reminding her that there was really no reason why she shouldn’t indulge her private fantasies. She had no intention of remaining in England, so even if a scandal broke, and there was no saying that one would, it was immaterial to her. She wasn’t looking for a husband, had no intention of remarrying, so what difference did it make if her reputation did go down the drain?
She was barren. Regardless of what her mother seemed to think, she was convinced of it. Isaac might not have relished his duty, but he’d performed it. He’d had plenty of time to get a child on her if it was possible. She’d only gone to a doctor about it to confirm her suspicions.MoreLess
