Her Engagement, His Regret

Summary

When I went to the Marsden house to return the engagement gifts, I found Nathan Marsden lying in the arms of the young housekeeper, a post-coital cigarette dangling from his lips.

He blew a playful smoke ring in my face.

"Perfect timing. Wendy's exhausted. Go wash the sheets for us, will you?"

"The girl's a little inexperienced. After the engagement party tonight, you can teach her a few of my favorite positions. I don't want my nights ruined."

I didn't answer. I just placed the bag containing the gifts on the coffee table.
