Three Times the Scandal
“Neddy’s voice pierced the gloom of the guest chamber. Fortuna raised her head from the pillow and managed a weak smile. Neddy stood on the threshold, clearly awaiting an invitation to come in, curiously different to how he’d been the night before.
“You can come in.” She propped herself up on her elbow.
Neddy came and sat beside her on the bed. “Giles and my brother have gone to Brooks’s. I expect they’ll be a few hours. I thought you might like some company.” He reached over and gently smoo...thed a stray curl from her cheek. Fortuna leaned into the caress, recalling how his touch had swept across her body earlier, bringing pleasure.
Neddy kicked off his boots and climbed onto the bed proper, so that his body curved neatly to her back. Some of the tension she felt eased from her body as his arms wrapped around her. Fortuna closed her eyes and breathed in his scent. She wished Giles were here too, even though she was tired out.
