He stepped away from her and she sighed. “Good night, Lord Ravenscar.”

She heard him chuckle before he let himself out.

Karen let the dress fall to the floor, then she pulled back the covers on Jay’s bed and crawled in.

He took it rather mildly, she thought. Very British-like, Karen supposed. Not that she’d been expecting an exclamation of joy… the kiss had been sexy.

Promising.
