Her heart froze in complete fear. As well as Raoul tried to hide her, to cover her, she felt naked already. Caught in the act like this... she would be nothing but a whore, as his father had said. And what of Raoul? He would be no better off. Her blue eyes shook with fright. Her lips parted to speak, but she felt Raoul begin to move away from her and lost her words. Her hands held her dress over her chest, and she had no weapon to aid him. All she could do was helplessly watch.
