	Regency Relations 3 by Damerel "Let me help you," the Duke offered, and bending his head, concentrated on unfastening the fob at Iphicles' waist. The Earl stood watching the dark head bent before him, breathing in a strangely heady scent as he did so. By the time the Duke looked up, with the offending object safely in his hand, Iphicles' colour was high and his breathing had quickened.
