"But does that mean you never had—-"
Sheikh Saif glares at me, and I try but fail to stop myself from beaming when I realize it's true. The sheikh has gone without sex for a year...for me!
"That's why you told your brother I didn't need to know anything about it," I realize with a grin.
"Because I know you, my beauty. You're never going to let me hear the end of it—-"
A bubble of laughter escapes me even as his words have my heart racing like mad.
Oh, this sheikh.
I've been wondering why he seems so attuned to my thoughts, and now I know.
It's because he's been in love with me for an entireyear,and well...
"I'm sorry, Your Highness," I say softly, "but I'm afraid you're absolutely right. I will never let you hear the end of it."
"I thought as much." The sheikh's tone is dry, but the way he gently takes my hand in his as we walk to his room tells me something else. I know this is going to sound crazy, but I think he actuallylikesthe fact that I now know how much he's in love with me?
Oh, this sheikh.
How adorable can he get?
Epilogue
Did I say adorable?
I was totally mistaken, and now I know my sheikh is actually the world's biggest asshat.
"Stop laughing!"
We're back in his room, and I've just told His Royal Assness what my full name is.
"This is all my fault," Saif says gravely. "Or rather, it is the king's fault, since he forbade me to have anything to do with you for the past year. I was not to look you up on the Internet or hire detectives to follow you around. If I had, then we might not have ended up together. I might have changed my mind if I had known that the woman I intend to marry has the most unimaginable name—-"
"You're going to laugh again, aren't you?"
