Chapter 2“Thank you” he said lifting her hands to brush his lips in an airy kiss, whilst studying her face. She had amazing hazel green eyes, he imagined drowning in them but as he looked deeply into them, he saw something sad lurking behind them, she seemed to have hidden them quite well and Richard had a sinking feeling that she hide it even from herself, someone had hurt her badly and she pretended to not feel the pain, Richard felt his hands fist up and realized that he actually wanted to strangle that person and hurt him even worse than the way he had hurt this woman.Feeling uncomfortable with his thought, as Richard wasn't a particularly violent person, he drifted his thoughts and looked down, his eyes caught her mouth they were pressed into a thin line reminding him of apricots, well done he thought to him self, smiling at his imaginations.She nibbled at her

Chapter 3He was so damn annoying, that Lord Richard. Ann wasn't in the habit of cursing at her employers, even in her head, but she just couldn't help the fact, that every thing in him annoyed her, not excluding his good looks.After leaving the drawing room, she had headed straight to the kitchen to get a dishrag, and while returning, had met the Butler Mr Ravens croft, dragging a piece of furniture, so she decided to help out, even though he had made it clear it wasn't a companions job to do.He was a very stern man of morals he took his job very seriously, and with great pride, he wouldn't allow anyone to treat him like a weakling, which explained why at 79yearsold, Ravens croft was still in employ.
