Chapter One
Ember knew she wasplaying with fire the moment she caught the scent of liquor clinging to the demon prince's skin.
It was bad enough that the sheikh in a tux was just so breathtakingly handsome it had her secretly weak in the knees, but for her royal bosshole to also come here while he was intoxicated and thus without his usual rigid self-control...
Don't take advantage, Ember Hallman!
She must remember she was a woman of uprightness,notlewdness.
It was all aboutthrust
Oh, um, she meanttrust.
It was all about not betraying the sheikh's trust even in his moment of weakness, and while she truly didn't want to do that—-
Ilyas was making it so, so hard, with the way she had caught him staring at her like he hadfinallyrealized his secretary was a flesh-and-blood, honest-to-goodness woman.
Be gone, inner slut! Stop trying to make me sin!
Ember did her best to focus on taking care of her furry little patient, but since her brain was used to multitasking, it hadn't any problems taunting her with evil thoughts even while she was hard at work arranging the kitten's makeshift bed.
Saif himself had told her that Ilyas had only been drunk once, and the result had not been pretty. Those were his exact words:not pretty.And the way she saw it, couldn't those words also be synonymous to, um,not clean,which could also mean...dirty?
Did that mean Ember had every reason tohopefear that an intoxicated demon prince might just do something dirty?
Or maybe he might just do...her?
The shameful thought had Ember turning red, and she could only be thankful that she still had her back to the sheikh as she plugged her bedside lamp on the kitchen counter.
Have some decency, woman!
The sheikh was drunk. It was wrong to wish that he'd do her, but...
What if he did?
Because it could happen, right?
