A Lady's Lesson in Seduction. Barbara Monajem

СКАЧАТЬ sloppy and unpleasant, and that she felt absolutely nothing during lovemaking. After Timothy told her what a bore she was, she’d thought herself thoroughly cured of carnal desire…until now.

      It must be because of Lord Warbury’s reputation as a skilful lover. More than once, she’d heard a fast widow or unfaithful wife lamenting her inability to lure him to bed. That smile of his had set Frances’s imagination moving as if she were a young girl once more.

      She made polite conversation, avoided looking at the marquis—except to note his mild flirtation with Almeria, who sat next to him, chattering happily—and concentrated on the excellent food, finishing up with two helpings of a truly magnificent trifle. When they adjourned to the drawing room, Frances had her embroidery frame brought downstairs, but her attention kept wandering and so did her stitches, away from the pattern she’d drawn.

      Mrs. Cutlow sat next to her on the sofa and made some bland comments about Frances’s pattern. Frances knit her brows. Judging by the woman’s low-cut gown and roving eyes, Mrs. Cutlow wasn’t likely to engage another female in conversation without some ulterior motive.
