I leaned forward, my mind working through the problem and coming up with a solution all on my own. “This situation might need a different approach. Something unexpected…”
Andreas raised an eyebrow. “What do you have in mind?”
“A woman’s touch,” I said with a slight smile. “I might not have Nikolaos’ experience in these matters, but I bring a different perspective. Sometimes, a fresh take can make all the difference.”
Andreas looked thoughtful, his gaze narrowing in on mine. “How do you plan to convince Nikolaos? He can be…rather… set in his ways.”
I returned his gaze with confidence. “Don’t worry about that. I have my ways too,” I said, the corners of my mouth turning up in a sly smile.
I already had a plan in mind.

Later that night, I was just getting out of the shower when I heard the sound of footsteps climbing the stairs. I paused, listening closely and recognizing the cadence of Nikolaos’ steps. With a deep breath, I lifted my chin and pulled my shoulders back. This time, I was going to take control and show him that not only was I a woman that was worthy of being his wife, but his equal in more ways than one.
Even in the bedroom.
Maybe especially in the bedroom.
I knew he could fuck me into submission. He’d done it time and time again, and I’d loved every second of it, but this time was different. Tonight, I wanted to see if he was the kind of man with the strength to put his trust in me so that we could both come out on top.
I had a plan, and I was going to see it through.
As I wound a towel around my chest, I positioned myself in the doorway between the bathroom and the bedroom. My stance was casual yet calculated, designed to catch his gaze the moment he walked in. I leaned against the frame, a playful yet defiant expression on my face.
The door opened, and Nikolaos stepped into the room. For a moment, he said nothing, his eyes quickly finding mine. There was a pause as he took in the sight of me standing there, draped in nothing but a towel. His gaze turned seductive and predatory, like a lion that had just spotted its next meal, and I pulled in a deep, steadying breath. His eyes said everything that words couldn’t.
I smiled coyly, holding his gaze. The air between us was charged with an electric tension.
I couldn’t get enough of it.
I remained in the doorway, the smile still playing on my lips as I basked in the intensity of his gaze.
“I missed you,” I began.
“I missed you too, princess,” he murmured, watching me intently.
He took a step closer, closing the distance between us. The space of the room seemed to shrink, focusing entirely on us. His proximity was captivating, his presence commanding yet utterly intoxicating.
His gaze roved up and down my body, but there was an air of hesitation written in the movements of his body.
“Is something the matter?” I asked, cocking my head to the side and taking a step towards him.
“Are you happy, Maci-girl?” he finally murmured, his voice soft and a bit tentative.
“I could be happier,” I answered coyly, taking another seductive step in his direction. I could tell something was off about him, that he had something on his mind other than simply fucking me senseless.
Maybe it was the ring. Maybe it was the Secretary-General, or maybe it was something else.
“What do you want?” he asked quietly, his predatory gaze assessing me.
“I want more,” I whispered, striding up close to him and dragging my finger down the length of his collar, only just brushing against the hair on his chest. His eyes darkened, and a subtle smirk graced his mouth at my touch.
“More, you say. I can certainly give you more…”
He reached out to me and clasped his hand around my wrist, pulling me in so that my body was flush against his. The scent of his cologne surrounded me, smokey cedar and bergamot, and all things that were him. It was a heady sensation, and I found myself leaning into it as his arms wrapped around me.
“Yes,” I breathed.
