Decimus Pryor—Dex to his family and friends—enjoyed being the center
of attention. He’d never minded being gossiped about. What wasn’t to
like about being pointed out as a notable rake? The man who’d seduced the
ravishing Lady Winslow from under the nose of a rival, the dashing buck
who’d been the first to snare Lady Brereton when she entered the ranks of
available young widows, the Lothario with the legendary stamina who’d
entertained the Cleweston sisters in their hunting box for one blissfully
strenuous week.
A wit had once labeled him le jouet des jeunes veuves. As sobriquets
went, it hit the mark; Dex was only interested in young widows, and he was
extremely happy to be their plaything. Assignations with the lovely young
relicts of deceased noblemen were his raison d’être. Flirtations and stolen
kisses and amorous liaisons with ladies who knew exactly what they wanted
—and with no need to worry about outraged husbands, because the husbands
in question were dead. So, yes, Dex was very happy to be called le jouet des
jeunes veuves.
But no one had called him that for several months. The name that
followed him around these days was Vigor, and while that nickname could be
taken as a compliment, it was not.
Vigor, but no finesse.
An observation that Lady Twyckham—beautiful and viperish—had made
about him.
Dex liked making people laugh. Jokester, jester, wag—those were all
labels he was happy to own—but while he liked making people laugh, liked
being laughed with, he didn’t particularly like being laughed at, and he
especially didn’t like being mocked.
