Jane’s eyes widened and then understanding dawned. Followed swiftly by appalled anger. She folded her arms across her chest for the second time that night. Nicholas doubted she realized how the action lifted her breasts ever so slightly and drew his attention to the luscious swell.
“How dare you, sir! I am not that kind of woman. I may be fallen, but I have never in my life considered taking money or help in exchange for-”
Nicholas held up a hand to stop the stream of words.
“Not that kind of offer sweet,” he interrupted with a grin, although her misunderstanding of his intentions conjured a swift, unbidden thought of this woman spread across his bed, her dark hair with its ruddy highlights down around her and her back arched in offering of those perfect breasts she kept trying to hide. “I don’t pay for that, not with blunt or assistance. No, I want something else from you.”
Her eyes narrowed and Nicholas found himself looking at her face closely. Even in the dim light, he could see her eyes were very dark, like pure chocolate. And they reflected the depth of her emotions. No pretense here, no pretended offense. Jane Fenton truly did not trust him.
Clever girl.

Ohh, that’s an interesting excerpt. And did I read….
Even in the dim light, he could see her eyes were very dark, like pure chocolate.
I did! YAH! The heroine has….BROWN eyes? Sorry, I have a theory that even though brown is a dominant eye colour the majority of heroines have anything but, so it’s nice to see a heroine with brown eyes!
She does, indeed, have brown eyes. 🙂
