"Oh, pardon me. I was not expecting a noble to crawl in from a window." he sneered. More to himself than her. Because somewhere in his mind he was relieved to see her here.
No! It was only because he still needed her. The lust of his body lulled his mind but deep inside he could not forget his mission. He had taken the oath to destroy their family. To destroy Count Downshire. Not for Damien but for himself.
His eyes hardened at that thought. This woman was the daughter of his enemy and she had come here on her own accord to be ruined. Why was he hesitating then?
"Ha! Did you forget vocabulary too? People crawl in from a hole. They jump in from the window. I have come for you, Cotlin. I only want to know why you are ignoring me suddenly when everything is going so well between us." She was baffled. One moment he was all over her, and with another movement he left.
