Every gentleman, that is, except Lord Rivers' closest friend, the studiously unfashionable and splendidly handsome Mr. David Gower.

FIRE AND ICE
Rachel had never been held thus, against the full, warm length of a man's body. And she had never been kissed thus, with lips that moved over hers, parting and persuading hers to do the same. But she knew this was right. This was the way it must be. Then she felt David's hold loosen. "I have given into a temptation I thought I had under control," he said. "I had determined never to touch another woman this way until she had consented to be my wife." "I can marry you," Rachel said eagerly. He shook his head. "No, Lady Rachel, we can never marry." Rachel's face was becoming stormy. "Give me one reason why I may not marry you." "Because I am not asking you," he coldly replied.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? -Matthew 6: 28-30 Views: 51
