When Only a Rake Will Do
“And so, with Timothy, one of their liveried footmen following dutifully behind, Daphne urged Titus to a faster pace.

For a time, as she and Titus raced alongside the cool morning breeze, Daphne was able to set aside her worries and simply enjoy the moment. The touch of the wind agai...nst her cheeks felt glorious and her spirits were lighter than air as Titus’s powerful hooves tore across the ground beneath her. All too soon she would have to face reality once again, but for now and for a short while to come she was free and she reveled in the sheer joy of it.
Entering Hyde Park from the south, Brendon eyed Rotten Row with a leisurely gaze.

Considering his initial attraction to the tempting young beauty he debated hanging back until she passed, for surely another encounter would only intensify his desire for the enticing lass.MoreLess
