She pushed herself up with her elbows before anyone could stop her. The quick movement was a mistake. She knew it would be. Really, anyone would think this was the first time she had been knocked unconscious.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I said stop that! You will not be pulling at your gown tonight. It is most indecent.” <\/p>\n

“Couldn’t we just\u2014” <\/p>\n

“No.” <\/p>\n

“What if I\u2014” <\/p>\n

“No.” <\/p>\n

“May I at least\u2014” <\/p>\n

“No!” <\/p>\n

“I was only going to ask for my cloak.” <\/p>\n

“Oh.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Is something wrong?” she inquired softly. <\/p>\n

“Hmm? Wrong?” he responded, only half hearing her. <\/p>\n

“Yes, wrong. You’re looking at me most peculiarly.” <\/p>\n

“Sorry, was I?” <\/p>\n

“Yes, you are.” <\/p>\n

“How peculiar.” <\/p>\n

“So I believe I said. Peculiar. Are you unwell?” <\/p>\n

He snapped back with alarming speed. Unwell? Good Lord, is that what he looked like when consumed with desire? Unwell?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Jarles climbed off the bed in the nonchalant manner of a man who had never been held accountable for his sins and had no intention of being subjected to that practice now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
