Amelia felt no such emotion but instead clutched the glass as if her entire existence depended on her not upending it all over his head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo how do you intend to<em> prove<\/em> you\u2019ve won the wager?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Startled, she shot a look up at him, her desire to see him dripping in overly sweet punch forgotten for an instant. \u201cWhat wager? What pray tell are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guileless eyes regarded her as he batted decadent lashes. \u201cDidn\u2019t you wager your friends your dowry that I was not close to my rumored prowess in bed? By the bye, what exactly do the rumors say of me in that arena?\u201d His hooded gaze dipped for a leisurely perusal of her form. \u201cI suppose you\u2019ll want to sample my abilities for yourself.\u201d He spoke in a low purr as he directed his gaze back to hers. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want you to have to depend on hearsay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A choked breath wheezed past her lips. The blasted man was thoroughly enjoying exacting his pound of flesh. Relished it in fact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot if you were\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease don\u2019t say the last man on earth, it sounds so trite. I would think a woman with your penchant for wit and scorn would have come up with something more original. More biting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amelia sputtered and her hand commenced shaking, nearly spilling her drink.<\/p>\n<p>Gapping the distance between them so that he stood close enough for her skirt to brush his black trousered leg, he gently extricated the glass from her hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou seem unnerved.\u201d He paused, and then said in lowered tones and a throaty rumble, \u201cI should kiss you senseless right here\u2026right now.\u201d He dropped his gaze to her lips, before lifting it back up to hers. \u201cBut perhaps that\u2019s what you want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before she could respond to his taunt, he bent his head, the warm, clean scent of his breath feathering her ear. For a brief moment, she feared he intended to make good his threat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContrary to what you may believe, I <em>am<\/em> a gentleman and I will not heap any more embarrassment upon you this evening by making you eat your words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then delivered the <em>coup de grace <\/em>in a very, <em>very <\/em>soft whisper. \u201cThat must be saved for another time, for what I have planned for you won\u2019t be fit for public consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amelia\u2019s mouth went dry. She shivered despite the unaccountable heat that scorched through her to settle low in her belly.<\/p>\n<p>And then as if he\u2019d not just threatened\u2014promised\u2014to commit untold debaucheries upon her person, he straightened to his full height and inclined his head in a bow. \u201cGood evening, Lady Amelia.\u201d With that, he sauntered off.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-5372\" data-postid=\"5372\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-5372 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have author copies!!!
