“It is. I mean there’s more, but... I’m exhausted. You know, the jet lag is catching up with me. Yesterday I was in the Middle East. At least I think it was yesterday...”

“Of course.” He felt like a right prick, grilling her when she was certainly ready to crash. “I understand. Get some rest. I’ll check on you soon.”

“Yeah,” she said, biting her bottom lip.

He groaned. “Stop that. We agreed that was my job from now on.”

There was that smile he loved. The tightness in his chest eased. He rose from the window seat and rounded the small writing table that served as his desk when he was here.

“Hey, Jay? There’s something else.”

“Do tell.”

“Remember how I said I’d be able to visit you at the end of next week?”

Remember? The fact was tattooed on his brain. He’d had three weeks of waking up with her in his arms or curled against him like an appendage he’d grown overnight. Of not being denied theprivilege of giving her pleasure whenever the mood struck either of them. These five days apart had seemed endless. Knowing he’d see her soon was what had been getting him through it.

That vise in his chest constricted. “Have you changed your mind?”

“Sort of. What if I could shorten that time frame?”

Excitement overtook him and it was all he could do not to throw his fists in the air in triumph, as if he’d scored the winning goal in the final match of the Queen’s Cup polo tournament.

“By how much?”

“I can be there in a few days.”

His heart beat maniacally against the protection of his rib cage, as if it sensed her impending presence and wanted to be physically closer to her.

Get in line, mate.

“Love, you’ve just made my day.”

Her eyes flashed and her lashes lowered. “I can’t wait to see you. I’ve been thinking about you so much. More specifically, what I want todoto you.”

The temperature in the room rose ten degrees. His cock throbbed. “You always have my attention. Now even more so.”

What this woman did to him!

He settled back, getting comfortable. This wouldn’t even be the first time that thoughts of her caused him to stroke himself to completion in one of his home offices.

“Are you home, baby?” she asked, her mind appearing to run along the same lines as his.

“I’m in my apartment at Kensington Palace.”

She moaned and the guttural sound of pleasure roused all his nerve endings. “We never did spend any time there together. Would you like to pre-christen it with a little solo play?”

Fuck yeah.

He slid his hand down along the imprint of the bulge in his—

A knock at the door ripped through his growing sexual haze.

Bloody hell.

“Jay?” A long, polished nail rested against Dani’s glossy red lips. Blood shot straight to his dick, making rational thought impossible.

The knock came again. “Sir? You have a visitor.”
