Summary
If Larry and Gladys did not wish for her help, if George no longer wanted her assistance, well, she wouldn't fight them. She had more than enough battles before her as it was, no need to add her family to their number if they were so pig-headed as to insist she leave them to their failures. After all, there was nothing in their previous arguments that said she couldn't provide her assistance elsewhere.

Summary
Including “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,” he had said, perhaps, a hundred words to her since they met: a four word greeting with a bow when arrived at her parent’s house after weeks of written discussions and negotiations with her father; a six word inquiry before the day itself, “are you sure of this, Miss Connolly?” with her ensuing assurance met only with a sharp nod; and then, their longest conversation to date, his musings on the blasted weather. Yes, it certainly was an unusually chilly March.
The newly minted Mrs. Russell might as well have married a mute.
In which George and Bertha have an arranged marriage to start and come to find love during their first year together.

Summary
"No respectable woman would consent to finding herself across a crowded room from George Russell, let alone to marrying him – excepting one, of course, who is in no position to turn down a man who can fund her son’s remaining years at Harvard and pay off the heavy mortgage on her family’s ancestral home. Even if she does harbor occasional fantasies of poisoning said man’s cognac or strangling him in his bed."
...

Summary
“I really don’t want to talk about it, Potter.”
“That’s alright,” he says, and somehow he is closer again, filling the air, the space, her thoughts. She has spent months trying not to notice, trying to pretend she does not know how nice he smells or how beautiful his laugh is or how sharply unfair it is that he should have a face like that. "I can do all the talking."

Summary
"Tell me what you want, Miss Sharma.” He runs his fingers down her bare arm. She shudders at the grazing touch. He reaches around her back, fisting her skirts in his hand. Her arms wind their way around his shoulder and his mouth drifts to her neck. “No one is watching,” he whispers hotly against her skin.
"Teach me," she murmurs. "Seduce me."
__After the Sheffield dinner, Anthony and Kate indulge in dessert.

Summary
“So you would want to then?” she says when they finally come back up for air. Propping her chin up on his chest, she fiddles with the hem of his shirt, hoping he can’t feel her heart jump when her fingertips touch the exposed skin of his stomach.
“What?”
“Be…y’know, with me.”
It gets his attention, his head craning upwards and eyes blinking into round, darkening discs.
“I—this is a trap isn’t it?”

It goes like this.
(six alternate universe approaches to Kate and Anthony's first date.)

Summary
As dates go, this is not how Kate had expected this one to turn out. Palms splayed against the cool glass of wall-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sparkling skyline of night cloaked London. Back stretched flat, legs trembling as they hold her open wide for him, dressed in nothing but the tiniest of black lace knickers and her jade green bracelets, clinking softly against the glass as her hands shake in anticipation.
Just a good bit of old fashioned smut as Anthony tries to convince Kate to tell him what she wants. And he’s only too willing to give it to her.
