  The Chivalrous Rake
  
  Elizabeth Rolls

  "Why?'" Cressida asked blankly. And then cursed herself. Slapping him; yes.
  Telling him what a licentious beast he was; quite unexceptionable. But asking
  him why he'd wanted to kiss her? She ought to be in Bedlam.
  
  His voice became colder. "Gentlemen have these little lapses in taste from
  time to time. Might I suggest that it is not at all the thing for you to be
  alone in a bachelor household…?"
