“You think I didn’t?”
Dorothy arched an eyebrow, her eyes giving him a devilish glint.
“Like I said, I’m not well-versed, but surely there’s more to being thoroughly ravished than that.”
Lucas burst out laughing and rolled onto his back, taking Dorothy with him.
“How much time do you think we have?”
“How about we make time?” Dorothy started kissing his chest. “I don’t really want to go back yet.”
“You’re a wanton, do you know that?” Lucas groaned as his cock, still inside her, started to go hard again. “Are you sure you’ve not done this before?”
“What can I say?” Dorothy glanced up at him. “You make me want more. And I’m sure there’s more to it than this.”
Lucas wasn’t sure where this confidence was coming from. But he wasn’t about to argue against it.
Chapter 18
Frederica looked out the window and groaned.
“Oh, no. Gabriel is here.”
“Really?” Dorothy raised her eyebrows. “It’s been several hours since we left. I would have thought he would have left by now.”
“Well, he’s here, and his carriage is out the front, which might mean he’s only just arrived.” Frederica winced. “I’m not looking forward to going in there and getting scolded.”
“You’re not the one who’s going to get scolded as you’re a guest. It’s going to be me getting a telling off.”
And, if Dorothy were honest, she didn’t really care. If anything, she was still basking in the glow of her morning with Lucas. Especially the parts of the morning when they were alone.
Dorothy had been curious about lovemaking and what it was like. She had heard stories that men could be like animals, and it could hurt for the first time. True, there had been some discomfort initially, and Lucas had been almost like an animal, but Dorothy had enjoyed it. Her body was still tingling from his touch. Lucas was very thorough in bed.
It was easy to see why women fell in love if their male lovers treated them like that. However, Dorothy was pragmatic about it. She knew that what she and Lucas had been doing would end up with the two of them in bed. Once he had his fill, he would move on to another conquest. Dorothy wasn’t stupid. Within the next few days, he would send her a letter saying they would end their courtship, and she should take care.
While she knew that would happen, it didn’t stop her from feeling sad about it. Dorothy had come to enjoy her time with Lucas. He could keep her attention, and he actually wanted to learn about her interests. There had been times during their courtship, especially during that morning, where Lucas would ask her about the history of art in Italy. Dorothy hadn’t expected him to actually study what she liked.
It’s probably why I’m falling for him. He actually tries to know me.
You’re not in love. Lust, yes, but not love.
“Dorothy?” Frederica was peering at her. “Are you alright?”
“What? Oh.” Dorothy cleared her throat and shifted in her chair. “I … I was just … thinking.”
Frederica smiled.
“I’m sure I know what you’re thinking about.”
“Frederica!”
“It’s pretty clear what you’ve got on your mind just by looking at you.” Frederica leaned over and took her hand. “Don’t worry; I’m not going to give you away. You and I have that as our little secret.”
Dorothy groaned, feeling her face getting warm.
“I wish you didn’t know what Lucas and I were up to. That’s just embarrassing.”
“Well, someone has to cover for you. Besides,” Frederica winked. “Pierce and I weren’t exactly innocent. Let’s just say there was a lot of debauchery going on.”
