sir.”
    “ ’Twas my pleasure.” He lowered his voice. “My very great pleasure.”
    And with the delicious thrum of his brogue ringing in her ears, she fled. Lachlanwatched her disappear beneath the archway with his blood afire and his cock hard and heavy beneath his kilt. He must have lost his bloody mind, to keep kissing the lass so. But Holy Christ, she’d a Generated by ABC Amber LIT Conv erter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html way of making a man want her…
    He swore under his breath.
    “I agree wholeheartedly.” Seton glanced back to make sureVenetia was out of earshot. “Was that wise of you?”
    “Dinna fash yerself. I know exactly what I’m about.”
    Thank God the man hadn’t witnessed the kiss, or he’d see thatLachlan was lying. That kiss had shaken his self-control. No woman had ever affected him like that, not even his former fianc?e, Polly, who’d thrown him over for a rich man.
    No,Venetia was naught like the demure Polly, to be sure. Despite being the most elegant female he’d ever known,Venetia had a secret, passionate nature as ungoverned as any Highland fling. It drove him into a dangerous carelessness.
    But mo chreach , her mouth alone would seduce the dourest Presbyterian…and her body fit so well in his arms that he’d been sore tempted to lay her down right here and—
    Don’t be thinking that!
    No matter how fine the lass’s kisses, she wasn’t for him. She could never be for him. And she’d be the first to remind him of it in the days to come.
    “You almost gave me heart failure, you know,” Seton said. “When you disappeared through the door with Duncannon’s daughter and stayed gone so long, I thought sure you’d decided to snatch her tonight.”
    “With half a dozen magistrates in the next room and the city full of soldiers and constables?”Lachlan snorted. “Don’t be daft, man. I’d be lucky to make it half a mile out of the city. But tomorrow the soldiers will be at Portobello Sands drilling for the review; that’s when we’ll do it.”
    Seton let out a breath. “I can’t help thinking like an officer: strike while the enemy is at hand. I forget that the Scourge must be more careful—”
    “Hold your tongue,”Lachlan hissed. “The Scourge is dead, remember? And he must stay dead to all but Duncannon and his family.”
    “Speaking of his family, what did you hope to gain by alarming the gel’s aunt?” Seton asked. “You put Lady Kerr on her guard, to be sure.”
    “And I gave you the chance to play the hero for her, as well. So the lady will be more apt to listen to you when her niece goes missing.” He headed for the entrance to the muslin tent. “If anything, I made tomorrow easier for you.”
    He started to brush past Seton, but the man grabbed his arm. “I hope you’re right. One false move and we’ll both be hanging from the gallows.”
    Lachlanfaced him grimly. “If you’re having second thoughts, say so. I told you, ye don’t have to do this.”
    “I’m not having second thoughts, damn it.” He drew himself up like the proud old soldier that he was. Generated by ABC Amber LIT Conv erter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html
    “Unlike Duncannon, I keep my promises.”
    “You’ve repaid me a thousand times over—”
    “For keeping that damned bastard from slitting my throat in Aviemore? How can that ever be repaid?”
    “If you do what you promised tomorrow, that will be payment enough.” He glanced into the ballroom.
    “Is everything ready? There’s naught to tie you to me?”
    “Don’t worry.” Seton puffed up his chest. “I took care of it. You’d think that by now you could trust me—”
    “I do trust you, I swear. But it’s one thing to wheedle information out of your daughter about when Duncannon’s friends are traveling toScotland , so you can pass it on to me. ’Tis quite another to aid in a woman’s kidnapping. For your daughter’s sake, your connection to the Scourge must never be found
