“Oh, hey! You must be Laura. I’ve heard such wonderful things about you from Jeremy!” The woman approached me and took my hand, shaking it vigorously. “I’m his nanny, and I was supposed to show you around today.”
“Great.” I gave her eccentric self—bleached-blonde hair and twenty or more bracelets on her wrists—a quick once-over. “But I think first we need to get this little munchkin off to school.”
“Come on then,” she exclaimed. “I’m so glad Spencer finally hired someone. This one is quite a handful!”
Chapter Nine
Spencer
Since meeting Laura, my only release had been wanking in the shower. Then later on that morning, I saw her in the kitchen, and my cock was semi-hard again already. I needed to get my head straight because this wasn’t fucking normal. It was Friday, this was supposed to be a busy day, but after breakfast, I spent all morning signing papers while Jeremy talked about a few other MPs from the opposite party who were being investigated for fraud.
By the time the afternoon rolled in, I’d had enough, so I sent most of my staff home. Jeremy wanted to argue, but the summer holidays were right around the corner, and he needed to spend some time with his family.
I had booked and planned out a trip to Sicily for the entire six weeks, hoping that it would bring Maja and I closer together. Since my father was half Italian, my brother and I had spent almost every summer in Sicily. I’d fallen in love with the island, and even after all this time, I continued to spend holidays there, year after year. This year, I had spent much less time with her than she deserved and I felt guilty. Maybe Laura was right: she was acting up because she was missing me.
“So, what are your plans for Friday night? Is your nanny staying in or going home?” Jeremy asked, being a nosy bastard.
“She’s probably going home,” I said. “See you at the tennis tournament this weekend.”
“Just behave, Spence, and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do,” he said, then finally left me alone.
I poured myself a strong drink. I hadn’t felt this way about any woman since Maja’s mother, although that was a long time ago. I needed to have sex soon. After the disaster with Laura two nights ago, I was gagging for it. In the past, there had been a few women I’d slept with, but working in the office made things complicated. The press mainly focused on my political career, but occasionally, magazines speculated whether there was a woman in my life, though I never gave them any evidence either way.
I ran my hand through my hair, considering arranging an escort for tonight, but an odd sense of guilt stopped me. I didn’t owe Laura anything; she was only a nanny. There was curiosity and attraction between us—which we were both aware of—but it wasn’t something I planned to act on. Wanting to give Maja a good life, I worked hard and thought deeply before making any significant decisions. Maja didn’t need a mother, and being a single father suited me.
As usual, when desperation struck, I sent a text message to someone who could help ease my frustration, then waited for their reply. Yes, it was reckless. It would come back to haunt me eventually, but I needed to clear Laura from my mind before she drove me insane.
As if on cue, their response chimed in.
Tanya should be with you just after half past eight. She’s looking forward to seeing you, Spencer.

My rational side whispered that this wasn’t wise, maybe a colossal mistake even, yet the pulse of desire surged through me. Laura was off-limits. I couldn’t risk anything jeopardising my relationship with my daughter. Turning to Tanya seemed like the least disruptive scenario.
Remaining in my office, I attempted to lose myself in a crime thriller, a futile effort to distract me from Laura and Maja being at home together. I needed to spend time with my daughter, but this forced proximity to Laura would eventually drive me insane.
If I didn’t get laid tonight, I was going to be irritable all weekend. I knew I should have gone back to the apartment, so Laura could go home, but since she’d only just started, she could stay until Saturday morning. I didn’t have to explain myself to her.
Sam’s face flashed through my head. Maja kept asking about her mother. She knew I didn’t like talking about her, so she talked to my mother instead. Mum had told her a few things about Samantha, it was only natural that my daughter was curious.
I wasn’t supposed to feel guilty about my decision, but here I was, wondering why I had such a huge issue starting another relationship with a woman. I was too afraid of being burned again.
Around eight, I changed into more casual clothes and then jumped in my car. Laura knew I had to work late. Later on, when I got home, I would talk to her for a bit, and then she would go home none the wiser that I’d fucked someone else tonight whilst she’d stayed home with my child.
Jason drove me to Elm Street. Tonight felt uncomfortable and unfamiliar. This had been my routine for months, and yet I couldn’t stop thinking about Laura. Maybe Tanya could help me forget about my little almost-encounter with the nanny.
“Sir, Miss Johnson is here to see you,” Jason informed me as I waited in the living room.
I flexed my knuckles and took a deep breath.
“Let her in. Thank you, Jason,” I replied.
He nodded.
Tanya approached, looking stunning in a fitted red dress and high heels. I ushered her in, and Jason closed the door behind her.
“Hello, Prime Minister. I’m glad you called. I thought you might have grown tired of me.” She entered my place that felt more like a dark realm. Tanya exuded beauty and seduction, her chocolate-brown hair cascading down her bare arms. She oozed sophistication, too. Women working for the Emperor were never cheap. Her scrutinising dark eyes met mine as I released a ragged breath.
