Hey, everyone! Welcome back to Mafia Princess! I haven't been able to view any of my reviews for some odd reason but now I can. I can finally address all of my new reviews that I missed. Let's get into them!

firelord-dany: ok, so I actually had a similar idea to this when I was thinking of ways to rewrite p&p, so when I saw the description I was all "wtf I literally had the same idea!" so I think it's a bit funny. I'm looking forward to what you do with the idea, and I won't use it now (I've plenty of other ideas so no worries). good luck!

firelord-dany: Hey, I would love to see your version of this story some time! I think it would be fun! Thanks for stopping by!

krisseke: very interesting concept for a story, I look forward to reading what's next.

krisseke: Thanks for stopping by!

DizzyLizzy.60: (chapter 2 review) : Lee sounds totally anal retentive. The man needs some excitement, of the female kind. Will J have her flock of sisters? Really, I could take or leave them. How about a Caroline and, Wickham? could take or leave them as well. Cheers.

(chapter 3 review): Austin Lee, Lee Bryant, lots of Lees.

'A situation on our hands'...sounds intriguing. Need some L/J tete tete.
Nice chapter. More please. Cheers.

(chapter 1 review) : I like the idea of a dangerous Darcy/Lee. The story sounds as if it could be good. I'd love to see sparks between Lizzy/Jenna. Reading on, cheers.

DizzyLizzy.60 : In response to all three of your reviews (in proper order)... While I have a dangerous Darcy, I want to maintain that romantic side of him as well so it'll be interesting. Lizzy/Jenna is a little bit easier to write because of her 'vivacious nature' as Mr. Collins would probably say. I laughed when I saw your review for chapter two. You're right on the dot about Lee. Jenna: in place of her sisters, she has cousins...one, appropriately, named Lydia. Sarah would be the Jane Bennett of my story. My version of Caroline comes in the form of Sabrina Wood and Wickham...I do have somebody in mind for him. Thanks for reading!

Onwards!

So Much for Propriety

Jenna's POV

I spend most of the night tossing and turning, unable to sleep. I get up and put a robe over my black, lace nightie. It's time to go to the kitchen and get some hot chocolate. I love making nightly trips like this one. When I travel through the mansion, the large windows bring in a lot of the moon and starlight and it makes things rather pretty and mysterious. I love the night. I sigh as I quietly pass through the hallway and pass my father's office. When I go past it, I hear voices.

A meeting? At this time of the night? Must be some serious crap going down.

I hurry quickly past the office, not wanting to get caught eavesdropping. If the door was closed, then the meeting had to have been extremely serious and definitely not for my ears. I continue my way towards the kitchen. I definitely wasn't expecting to find anyone else wandering the dark hallways and definitely not Lee Bryant. I almost walked into him as I continued to go towards my final destination. I take several steps back and look up into his steely gray eyes. I never realized how tall the man was until now.

"You're up late, Miss Williams."

"So I am, Mr. Bryant." I reply. "But I don't typically stalk the hallways at midnight and, particularly, in my father's house."

I could have sworn he smirked but with the shadows the way they are, it's kind of hard to tell. However, you can see those steely gray eyes of his and the shadows around us give him a very intimidating look. If I was a normal person, I would be deathly afraid of him but since I'm not a normal person and deal with hardened gangsters all the time, this is nothing new. Of course, there's something else about the man that's unsettling. I can't put my thumb on it. Maybe his pride? No, that's not it...

"As it so happens, I have a meeting with your father."

"And yet, you wander about the place?"

"Hn."

"I would ask what the meeting is about but it's clearly none of my business."

"Smart girl, but why are you wandering the halls at night and in that?"

I didn't realize that my robe had come open, thus showing off my black lace nightie. I'm so glad that there was a silk dress beneath the lacy part of my gown. I could feel myself blush as I closed my robe. I avoid looking at the jerk in front of me because I know he's smirking at my discomfort. This is very embarrassing. What did I do to deserve this? I'm about to sidestep him and hurry my way down to the kitchen when he blocks my way with his tall frame.

"What are you...?"

Lee shuts me up with a kiss. This kiss is long, deep and steamy. I give in to his kiss after resisting for a couple of seconds and it's pure heaven. I just about melt because of how passionate the kiss is. All rational thought has left me but it comes straight back when I feel what seems to be a smirk on his face I have a good feeling he's silently making fun of me for being so weak-minded. I'm frustrated and, quite frankly, disappointed when he pulls back. I'm also angry because he made me feel like a desperate whore. Or maybe I made myself feel that way.

"Have a good evening. Do stay covered up. It's a bit drafty in here."

"Gee, thanks."

My body is overheated, damn it. I'll definitely need that draft that you so kindly mentioned.

I stalk off to the kitchen. I'm pretty sure that I just heard him chuckle.
