The message was clear. He would not welcome any overture on her part to find him once tonight was finished. The realization stung, but it was best to know the rules from the outset. They would live hour to hour and when the night was over, their association would be over too, regardless of where their adventure led. It was what she wanted.
And it would lead somewhere. She was not naive enough to think their adventure would simply comprise driving around in the carriage. She’d seen the want, the primal desire rise in his eyes when he’d looked at her. But his attention had been flattering, nothing lewd or salacious like the lust she’d seen in the eyes of other men.
This man would not take what she was not willing to give. That decision would be hers to control. Even if she was wrong about his nature, she was not without her resources. No man would find her defenseless again.
The real issue was how much she would be willing to give. She had no doubt he could a coax a woman into giving him everything he asked for. If he could coax a carriage, he could certainly coax a kiss. Just the thought of any coaxing sent a lovely little thrill straight to her stomach.
