Upon Your Return Episode 54-Conclusion and Back Matter
Conclusion and Back MatterUpon Your Return - Episode 54***When she came to, Fara was annoyed by the bright light above her. Her vision gradually came into focus and she noted that she was in the cabin, tucked away in Grant's bed. She lifted the sheet from her naked body to peer at the bandage covering her upper thigh. It felt binding, but she had no doubt of the doctor's expertise. Besides, it was a mere surface wound from a dagger.She sighed and nestled deeper within the bedclothes. Fara glanced around the cabin to find Grant's long form upon the settee and she smiled. He was magnificent, even in sleep. When he stretched while dreaming, a shirt button came undone to reveal a cord of muscle with a light covering of hair. She longed to reach out and touch him. She was too familiar with his body. It was a wonder she hadn't forgotten anything about him in four years’ time. A knock came at the door. Fara cleared her throat. “Entré!”Eric appeared in the doorway. “Petite!” he exclaimed

The World Is WrongUpon Your Return - Episode 53***Grant grimaced. That took care of part of the problem, but he’d have to worry about what Nicholas was capable of, and as far as he knew, there were no limits. As the men cut his bonds, he swung around and deftly took one man's rapier while leaving him with a bloody nose. Knowing he was no match for a pistol, he ran behind a vendor cart, ducking to avoid the shot.“You will pay for that.”The man whose nose was bloodied stood in front of him. He was either mad or stupid for he carried no other weapon. Another shot rang out and a bloodstain on the man's shirt appeared and rapidly grew. He fell to the ground.Grant shook his head in disbelief and ducked down. For a man to kill his own comrade was serious business. If he didn't find some way to gain an advantage he'd end up the same, with a hole through the center of his chest. No doubt, at this very moment the ruffian hurried to ready his pistol.Grant heard cautious footsteps approac
Upon Your Return Episode 52-The Monster Behind the Man
The Monster Behind the ManUpon Your Return - Episode 52“Where is your lover, Mademoiselle? Has he fled already? Was he unsatisfied with the pleasure you gave him? Or, so consumed with fear that we might sever his handsome pirate head from his body?”“He is no pirate,” she hissed through set teeth.“Perhaps your lover will tell you the truth someday, but it looks as if Capitaine Hill will not be the hero tonight.” His gaze swept over her body and his tongue rolled over his lips.Oh, God, she thought. There was no hope for her now. She would be raped, or worse…they would kill her before she ever had the chance to see Gabriel or Grant or Tante Lina again.“Mademoiselle, I believe we have something to discuss. Since you are familiar with a man, I'm sure a few minutes of your precious time and charms would be no sacrifice…”She fled to the opposite side of the bed. “You will not have that satisfaction…Monsieur.”“But you already know what I want and where I'm headed. You're a smart lady.
Upon Your Return Episode 51- The Enemy Has Arrived
The Enemy Has ArrivedUpon Your Return - Episode 51There was no reason to think their intruders were out to do them harm, but anything was possible. And he seemed to be taking it as something graver than the simple prospect of being discovered by her aunt.“Grant,” she whispered, suddenly fearful for their shared predicament. “It's…” she began, but then realized he was merely going with instinct.“Don't fight me this time, chère.” He placed a quick kiss on her lips. “Just do what I say. Clothe yourself as fast as possible and we'll soon find out the identity of our intruders.”He rolled from her and yanked his slacks from the vanity nearby.Fara reached for her chemise and corset, without bothering to tighten the laces, and quickly pulled on her dress over them. All of these tasks would normally be done by her nursemaid, but there was no time for that. She abandoned her stockings and jammed her feet into her slippers. When she straightened, she saw that Grant was fully dressed and un
Upon Your Return Episode 50-Another Passionate Opera
Another Passionate OperaUpon Your Return - Episode 50***A week later, Fara glanced over the newspaper in the library and read of an opera playing in town, Gounod's La reine de Saba, which was about a tragedy based loosely on the Christian story of King Solomon. Beseeching to Grant, they made plans to attend that evening. Fara prepared herself by consulting with Lina and Rosalie on what to wear while Grant went to purchase the tickets and prepared Pierre to drive them.For the event, Fara dressed in a gown of light blue muslin and ivory trim with blue pins entwined into her done-up tresses. She took Grant's arm as she came down the stairs from her room. Grant, as well, was splendidly dressed in a black suit with a white silk cravat about his neck. Her aunt and Gabe looked on with interest and pride as they left the house. Lina had waved the offer to attend, claiming an evening at home was much more appealing after all the entertaining she had done earlier in the week.At the opera, t
Upon Your Return Episode 49-A Question of Loyalty
A Question of LoyaltyUpon Your Return - Episode 49He grimaced and stopped himself before he swore. Daughters of joy were a step higher than prostitutes, but not far removed from the social repugnance that was attached to them. Even mistresses weren't respectable, though it was no secret many gentlemen had them.“I hate to think that you’ve been in such a place.”“Oui, for a mere five minutes.”“And you were exposed to the intimacy between men and women long before we were together in that way.”She nodded. “Exposed, but not involved. I was disgusted by the display Monsieur Bordeaux put on in that room. Mon Dieu,” Fara said on a breath, and she tapped his sleeve. “There were other women watching them, too.” She wrinkled her nose. “It was as if they were waiting for their turns.”It sounded as though the bastard thought it necessary to leave no doubt of his ability to perform. “I can well imagine you were appalled by such a thing.”“Well, I should hope so!” She clucked her tongue and
