      “My lord Warleigh, I am not prepared to receive you at this time.”

      “Not prepared to receive me? You can not have forgotten that we share this chamber.”

      “I have not forgotten. You may come back after my maid has prepared your bed.”

      Simon scowled, then shook his head. “Nay, ’twill not serve. This is my chamber and you are my wife. It is not improper for me to be alone with you.” He stepped before her, perusing her slowly. “To do anything I wish with you.”

      She sucked in a deep breath, as a rush of something dark and unknown raced through her. Desperately she fought for control at her reaction to him.

      “I would not say that you may do as you wish with me, my lord. Wed though we may be, it is not a real marriage.”

      “Do I detect a note of disappointment, Isabelle?”
