I'm distraught over my father.\" MacLean gave her a devastatingly sexy half-smile. \"You misunderstood me; I said, a gentleman would bid his adieu.\" His voice, low and soft, rolled over her senses like liguid silk. \"Fortunately for us both, I am not a gentleman.\" \"No?\" She flicked a finger at the lace on his wrist. \"You dress like one.\" \"I dress like a dandy. Or,as my oldest brother, Alexander, often says, like a 'damned dandy.'\" Her lips quirked. \"Your brother sounds a bit harsh.\" \"You have no idea.\" He smiled. \"As I was saying, dressing fashionably does not make me a gentleman.\" \"Fine.You are not a gentleman, and I am far from a child,\" she returned with a lofty wave of her hand. \"I don't need my father's presence for protection.\" \"But perhaps I do.\" She had to smile. \"You don't need protection from me, Lord MacLean. I don't bite-though if I don't get something to eat soon, I may change my mind.\" His eyes sparkled with laughter. \"By all means, then, let us eat.\" He led the way to the dining room, standing aside to allow her to enter.
