A/N, I have to thank you all for the wonderful reviews. Your support helps
me greatly.
csAngel: thank you for your words of support, I am not yet married but planning is getting well on the way. Enjoy the time you have together and get to know everything about each other before you set a date, it's more fun that way!
Godavari: my dear your reviews always make me smile and encourage me to write, for that I cannot thank you enough. You asked for more, your wish is granted!
Suetekh Seshat: I am confused as you are! I was told by a few websites his name was Farringdon and I just stuck the name James in front of it, yet people on here have used the name Roger Farrington. (scratches my head in confusion). Oh well, if I'm wrong please forgive my mistake. Please?
On with the story:
"Oh Lara," James stood up and walked behind her, playing with her long hair.
"I'm so sorry James," Lara stated as she started to cry
"What have you got to be sorry for? Have you called the police?" he asked gently.
"No." Lara sniffed.
"Good. It's probably for the best. They hate it when you waste their time."
"What do you mean?" Lara asked looking round to him.
"Is that really the best excuse you could come up with?" He stared down at her.
"Excuse? I don't understand!"
"Lara, Neal told me all about it. How you came onto him, how you wouldn't take no for an answer, how-"
"Then how did I get these marks then James?" she interrupted him.
"He said he had to hold you back, that explains the marks on your arms, he said he couldn't resist you and that you were both really rough. Don't try to fool me Lara!"
"You honestly don't believe me do you?" James knelt down in front of her.
"No offence darling but I don't believe that he could have done that to you, when you have to say no and refuse it for it to be rape yet you say no and push me away all the time. It troubles me. But I guess not as much as this will trouble you ."
"Trouble me?"
"Oh yes, when your parents find out about your little bit of infidelity here Lara they are not going to be too impressed. Think of the family feud this will cause, and all for your one stupid mistake."
"How can you believe him over me?"
"Because I know what girls like you are like. You are all the same, beautiful, smart and rich, and have every guy in England sniffing after you."
"That's not true!" Lara sat sobbing in front of him.
"Not true? Not true? The day I proposed to you Lara you had men swarming around you. God you were like the Scarlett O'Hara of the aristocracy. I must have been stupid to think this would have worked."
"James leave me if you want, blame me but please don't mention a word of this to my parents." She pleaded to him.
"I knew you would admit to it Lara, I just knew you would!" A knock came at the front door. James turned and smiled cruelly at her. "Ah, my surprise is here." He said.
"What surprise?" she asked full of fear at the look on his face.
"I told Neal he was welcome to you and he could stay here the night, after all I do live here too and when I move back to mine I need a solid case to break this engagement off. Him staying here is a happy co-incidence is it not?" He leant over and kissed her on the forehead. "Good night Darling. Sleep Well!"
