Nooks and Crannies
Another ball, another set of men staring at her across the room, too cowardly to ask for a dance, wishing she would come and speak to them first, batting her eyes like her cousin, the Duchess of Flirtation, or as she called herself, the Goddess of Love.

It had been two more meetings since the illustrious first, and Rena Edwards now despised the man that was currently feasting on her neck like it was a delectable morsel. Despised and desired, that is.
It has started out relatively normal, she had arrived, mingled a little, watched her cousin have a staring contest with the Lord of Kent, and soon sought out some fresh air from the balcony.
Barely after quitting the room, she had been dragged into a dark corner and soon had a hot mouth covering her own. She did not panic, and only made the slightest attempt to escape from the iron grasp when she finally gave in and returned his passion with fervor. His hands roved up and down her body and she responded by tugging at his caveat, exposing his next to her fiery kisses.
His shirt was half-undone and her hair in disarray from where he had buried his hands in it to devour her mouth better when they heard a gasp and felt the shine of a lantern upon them.
"Miss Edwards! This is not the behavior of a lady! And Mr. Jennings, the nerve of you! If I were you I would make the girl honourable as soon as possible!"
It was Mirabelle's thrice-damned tutor, Arthur Covington.
By this time a crowd had gathered, whispers of the scandal reaching her ears even as she was still pressed bodily against Mr. Jennings.
As she was digesting all of this, she almost missed Mr. Jennings's response.
"Actually, I just asked Miss Edwards to marry me, and she kindly said yes. We're sorry if we caused any of you discomfort in our exuberance."
She gaped at him, speechless, as the crowd dispersed, still whispering about the display of impropriety. Mirabelle remained to gloat, of course.
"I knew it! I shall be your maid of honor, of course..."
Rena did not hear the rest as she was angrily muttering to Jennings.
"You asked me no such thing! And what makes you think I would say yes even if you had?"
"That's just the thing, my dear Rena, I made sure to get us into a situation where you could not refuse me."
She spluttered at him and he laughed, before quieting her with a quick kiss.
"It's alright, my future wife, we shall go into all the nooks and crannies you desire once we are married."
