“A brothel.”
“What? Are you mad? I just cut ties with my mistress, and you want me to go to a brothel?” Had the man lost his mind.
“Not to take a lover, but to watch, learn.”
Owen shook his head slowly, not sure what to think.
“Hear me out.” Bran put his glass down. “We go to one of the better establishments, high-class clientele. They know how to be discreet. You pay to watch other couples, learn how to pleasure a woman. Then you can use those skills on Selena. You are merely observing, not partaking.”
It sounded like a good idea, in theory, but it still felt like a betrayal. He would see women naked behind Selena’s back. Even if it was for her benefit, Owen wasn’t sure.
“Why don’t you speak to the proprietress?”
Owen coughed on the brandy he had just sipped. “You have a place in mind? Lord, that didn’t take you long.”
“If you think I’m cheating on Sarah, I’m not. But I have partaken in the past, before I married. I know a suitable place, and for the right price, you can do whatever you want. At least speak to the owner, see if she has any suggestions. It’s the best I can think of. What else is there? Looking at books, asking people?”
Bran had a point. What could it hurt to at least go to the brothel? If it didn’t seem right, he could leave.
“Very well.”
“Excellent. We can call on the place tomorrow, after we go to The King’s Way Club. Then I thought tomorrow night we could go to Drummond’s.”
“The gaming hall?”
“How did you know that?”
He hadn’t told Bran he had regained that snippet of his memory. He told his friend what he had remembered the night after the Baxter’s ball.
“Then your memory is not completely lost. Perhaps you will remember more.”
“Perhaps.” Owen wasn’t sure if he wanted to remember.
