“Oh, I have chosen. I must fight against Napoleon, insofar as it lies within me. But marriage…It is a matter of loyalties, you understand. I cannot be English, even for you. I cannot tell you all I know. I have too many old friends—”
“Do you think I’d ask that of you?”
“You are a master of spies for the British. It is not unreasonable that you should—”
His fingers touched her lips. “I don’t own my agents’ souls. Adrian has a Frenchwoman I’m not supposed to know about. And Doyle’s half French. His cousins are scattered all through the French secret service. You’d manage.” He caressed her dress till it rose high up on her thigh.
“Sometimes the Rom lie with one another like this, on the ground with the sky above. I will marry you.”
“Now?” His hands clenched, tight, upon her. “This morning? At St. Odran’s?”
“Yes. All of those.”
“Good.” He let out a long, satisfied breath. Those clever hands drifted between her legs to entice and tempt and promise. “Are we going to Wales?”
Sensation flooded through her and swept away her last thoughts. “Not…immediately. We are going to make love, are we not? This is depraved to do in a park, I think.”
“Isn’t it?” As he’d promised, he kept her very warm indeed.
