He certainly didn't want to seriously harm the fellow,just knock him out and dump him out the window for the time being. Half of that plan worked. The man did drop immediately and Rupert's hold on him kept him from falling loudly to the floor. He even got him to the window with ease, but the plan ended there. Priceless. The window frame was nailed shut for the cold months to minimize drafts. Bloody hell,it wasn't that cold yet. There were no large pieces of furniture to stick the man behind either.

Catching his wife off guard did have its advantages, which was fortunate, because she really did inflame his passions without even trying. One heady taste of her and most of his control was gone. \"Could it be because we nearly made love in this coach before?\" he said against her lips. \"Or could it be because I suspect you were sitting here earlier tonight thinking of me with my breeches off?\" Rebecca gasped but he just thrust his tongue deeply inside her until she no longer seemed to feel like upbraiding him for that teasing remark. He loved teasing her. It was too bad she was rarely in a mood for it. Unfortunately,she didn't let his remark go unanswered, though they were nearly home before she pulled away from his arms to say breathlessly, \"I was doing nothing of the sort.”",

What the devil as he doing! Je couldn't be serious.Yet he rubbed his cheek against hers right there on the dance floor! \"What-\" She should never have turned in toward that unexpected caress. Was she destined to bump lips with him by accident? She drew back instantly while she had the presence of mine to do so.

That just encouraged him to hold her closer and kiss her more deeply. She was fast approaching the point of not caring! Desperately, she tore her mouth away to gasp out, \"You're going to cause a scandal!\" \"I do believe it would be worth it,\" he said softly by her ear. \"But it's only a minor infraction and quite overlooked, since everyone here knows we're married.\" \"No,they don't.I didn't have it announced.\" He stopped abruptly. Several other couples even bumped into them. \"Why not?\" She looked away from his frown, which make her feel distinctly uneasy. How to explain her earlier hesitancy without him seeing it for what it was, a full-blown panic? But he didn't wait for her answer. Suddenly he was leading her off the dance floor. He began a social circuit around the room, missing no one who wasn't currently dancing. From group to group he stopped to introduce Rebecca as his wife,the Marchioness of Rochwood. He did it curtly,as if here completing a task assigned to him, which gave her the odd feeling he was punishing her.She was mortified. Most of those people thought he was joking! They knew him.They knew his reputation. And he wasn't behaving the least bit normally.”",

He gave in gracefully with a smile. \"Very well,fetch our robes and some shoes.I would imagine the fire has been banked in the parlor, so it will be a mite chilly.\" It wasn't that long before they were standing next to The Present, Warren merely curious, Amy finding it hard to contain her excitement, considering what she expected to find beneath the pretty cloth wrapping.The parlor wasn't chilly at all,since whoever had lef the room last had closed the doors to contain the earlier warmth, and Warren had closed them again before he lit several of the lamps. But the doors opened once more, giving Amy quite a start since she was just reaching for The Present when it happened, and Jeremy said as he entered the room, \"Caught in the act,eh? Amy,for shame.\" Amy,noticeably embarrassed despite the fact that Jeremy wasn't just her cousin, but one of her closest friends, said stiffly, \"And what,pray tell, are you doing down here at this hour?\" He winked at her and said dryly, \"Same thing you are, I would imagine.\" She chuckled then. \"Scamp. Close the door while you're at it.\" He started to,but stepped out of the way instead as Reggie sauntered in, barefoot and still in the process of tying her bed robe. When everyone else there just stared at her, she huffed indignantly, \"I did not come down here to open The Present-well, maybe I did, but I would have chickened out before actually doing so.\" \"What a whopper, Reggie,\" Derek said as he came in right behind her. \"Nice try, though.

James nodded to Reggie. \"Appreciate it, m'dear. My feet wouldn't reach.\" To which she blushed that her kick had been noticed. And Nicholas, still wincing, managed a scowl,which turned out rather comical looking, considering the two expressions didn't mix all that well. \"Is Uncle Toony still among the living?\" Amy asked, probably because neither James nor his brother had returned back downstairs last night. \"Give me a few more days to figure that out,puss, 'cause I bloody well ain't sure just now,\" Anthony said as he came slowly into the room,an arm tucked to his side as if he were protecting some broken ribs. A melodramatic groan escaped as he took the seat across from his brother. James rolled his eyes hearing it. \"Give over,you ass,\" he sneered. \"Your ife ain't here to witness your theatrics.\" \"She's not?\" Anthony glanced down the table, then made a moue and sat back in his chair-minus groaning this time. However, he did complain to James, \"You did break my ribs,you know.\" \"Devil I did, though I'll admit I considered it. And by the by, the option is still open.\" Anthony glared at him. \"We're too bloody old to be beating on each other.\" \"Speak for yourself, old man. One is never too old for a spot of exercise.\" \"Ah,so that's what we were doing?\" Anthony shot back dryly, as he gently fingered his own black eye. \"Exercising, was it?\" James raised a brow. \"And that's not what you do weekly at Knighton's Hall? But I understand your confusion in the matter, since you're used to doling out the damage, rather than receiving any. Tends to give one a skewed perspective. Glad to have cleared that up for you.\" It was at that point that Jason walked in, took one look at his two younger brothers' battered faces, and remarked, \"Good God, and at this time of the year,no less? I'll see you both in my study.”",

Considering how quickly we left,my guess would be that Mary Pearson immediately mentioned to her husband that she'd put you in their bedroom, and that I entered it as well. Samuel would have gone straight upstairs in that case to check on the imcriminating ledger he'd carelessly left lying on the desk.\" \"And found it gone,\" she said with a resigned sigh. \"Don't sound so aggrieved. We'll be fine.\" She could have screamed at him like a harpy for that ridiculous assessment. With two more shots fired at them, her fear was rising fast. It had been the same back at the Pearson house. The moment Rupert had warned that he'd disabled one of the servants,meaning they could be found out at any moment, her nausea had abruptly ended. Incredible. Did the sudden rush of fear do that? Not that she was going to seek out things to frighten her just to get through this pregnancy a little easier, but it as an interesting side effect. She could at least test the theory at home by having Flora try to startle her or...what the deuce was she doing thinking about things that might never happen when she could end up dead in minutes?”",

So even after that kiss upstairs, he'd decided on an evening of humorously baiting his mother again. Bad timing, with her own mother there, or maybe not.At least it kept Rebecca's own mood light for the moment, since she knew why he did it. Nor did Julie hold her tongue, remarking in disgust, \"I see your taste is still beyond flamboyant. You're a bloody peacock, Rue.\" He actually looked behind him as he replied, \"I thought I had my feathers tucked away nicely.”",

Her husband was wearing one of those horribly bright satin coats better suited to a costume ball, this one in a ghastly orange, with excesive lace at the wrists and the throat. With his long black hair and his soft cheeks so smoothly shaved,it made him look somewhat effeminate when she knew he was anything but. But he actually looked to be trying not to laugh when he said to his mother, \"She'll do nothing of the sort. She likes my taste in clothes. It reminds her of when we first met.\" Rebecca continued to just stare, her mind in a whirl. It sounded as if he was just teasing, but she couldn't be sure. To imply that she had fond memories of their first meeting wasn't even remotely amusing. She had nothing of the sort. \"You can't seriously intend to take your wife out wearing something like that?\" Julie continued. \"What's wrong with what she's wearing?\" \"Not her,you fool.You! You're married now. Your old taste in clothes-\" \"Marriage has nothing to do with taste, Mother,\" Rupert cut in. \"Well, perhaps a little,at least in women, but nothing a'tall to do with one's wardrobe.Shall we go, m'dear?\" The last was added for Rebecca as he put an arm around her to lead her out of the room. His hand on her hip was all she could think about. But his mother refused to be dismissed so easily. Julie actually shouted at him, \"Find a new tailor! You're mortifying your wife!”",
