Hearing a collective feminine sigh, he looked over to see a few older widows tracing his body with their eyes, clearly giving their imaginations free rein. Ewan favored them with a wink and suppressed a laugh when the eldest tossed him a wink in return. He turned away before he invited more trouble than he needed and returned his attention to Lady Jarvais. She cast a glance heavenward before she gave him an impatient look that told him she had seen his antics and was unimpressed.
"La, of course, dear. I'll take care of it," she cooed as she walked away without a care, leaving a brooding Ewan behind.
He was losing his touch. Two women in one evening, and neither had been affected in the least by his famous stare-down. Flirting with the widows didn't count. He'd have to practice, especially if he was to be protecting Grace from a possible seduction by Shiply.
At least now he could easily explain his intervention with Grace's affairs. Perhaps the sudden onslaught of bedroom fantasies where Grace was concerned would subside. Odd for them to start; he'd never had this problem before. What was it? He had never been the jealous sort.
After adjusting his collar once more, he nodded to Lady Jarvais, who had paused and was watching him. He took his leave, picking a spot from which he could watch Grace the rest of the evening, trying not to wonder what she would look like wearing nothing but that delicious smile.
