“I am. Well, you’re mother’s office. Her people. They are the ones who hired me, after all.”
It wasn’t the answer Tabitha had been hoping to hear, and perhaps JK realized that.
“Is that a problem?”
“I just… I really wanted to use this time to let my hair down a little. Relax and have fun, you know? But if you’re reporting back to her…”
“I am not reporting back to her!” JK took a breath and softened her indignant tone. “I would never do that to you, Tab. Your mom may be the one who hired me, but Queen of England or not, you are still my client, and you deserve your privacy. Unless you pose a danger to yourself or others, I have no reason to tell anyone what you get up to, and that includes your mother. All I meant is that we’ve been in contact to exchange practical details, though most of that goes through Gray, my boss.”
“Are you sure, JK? There are things about me… Well, I have secrets. Nothing dangerous, but certainly stuff that I don’t want anyone finding out about.”
“Your secrets are safe with me,” JK said steadily. “Honestly, I don’t even follow British politics. I’m not interested in whatever drama you could get involved in back home.”
When Tabitha came out—ifshe came out—it would be a worldwide sensation. It would reach the ears of even those who didn’t generally follow the royal family.
She looked into JK’s eyes but saw no hint of dishonesty there. Maybe she was naïve to trust her after only just meeting her, but Tabitha didn’t think that JK would sell her out.
“Great. Then let’s go clubbing!”
Tabitha paid the bill and led the way back to the car. JK stuck close by her side, looking in all directions as they walked.
“Come on, let’s get changed in the bathroom. We can’t walk into the club like this.”
JK sighed but didn’t protest as she followed Tabitha to the bathroom. She checked the stall before allowing Tabitha in and took a stall of her own, eyeing her outfit gloomily as Tabitha handed it to her.
When Tabitha came out, JK was already changed, and if she’d thought having seen her once would reduce the wave of molten desire that went through her when she saw JK, she had been dead wrong.
JK looked like a sex goddess come to walk Earth. Tabitha wanted nothing more than to kiss her. she imagined JK pulling her skirt and panties off and going down on her right here on the bathroom counter.
“Tabitha? Are you alright?”
“Yes! Of course,” Tabitha squeaked. “Shall we go?” She didn’t think that JK would be impressed should Tabitha kiss her. JK had been kind to her, but she was also clearly serious about her job and Tabitha didn’t think she would tolerate any such distractions. That didn’t stop Tabitha from fantasizing, though.
They got back to the car and Tabitha climbed in, closely followed by JK.
“Right, Jack, to the nearest club, please.”
“Of course, Princess.”
Tabitha rolled her eyes.
They were just turning down a long, winding road that led to what was obviously a club when JK shook her head. “Oh, no. We are so not going in there. I can tell just from here that that place is shady as hell.”
“I want to go clubbing,” Tabitha protested. “You said I could.” She tried not to sound sulky, but it was difficult, given how much she was looking forward to this.
“You can still go clubbing, but not here. Let’s pick somewhere else, okay?”
“Where do you recommend?”
“I’m not exactly familiar with the local clubbing scene.” JK sighed in frustration. “Jack, do you know of any clubs that are classy please?”
“Of course. I’ll take you up Twelfth Avenue—there are a number of exclusive clubs there.”
“Perfect.” Tabitha settled back in her seat, shooting sidelong glances at JK. JK’s gaze was flitting between the viewpoints of the different windows, ever watchful.
Tabitha wished JK would watch her the way she was watching JK, but JK was too busy doing her job well to be openly lusting after Tabitha.
They arrived at another club. Tabitha personally couldn’t tell what made this one less shady than the other, but JK seemed satisfied, so they got out and went to the small line at the entrance. The bouncer let them through with no trouble, and then they were inside.
