Her eyes widened. “What?” She stepped out of John’s embrace and moved closer to her brother. “What are you talking about?”

Erik merely gave her a grin. “It might have taken you both this long to work it out, but it won’t surprise anyone else.” He leaned over and pressed a kiss to her cheek. “I’m happy for you, little sister. It’s obvious you love him.”

Nyssa was stunned by her brother’s words, but she did give him a quick hug, which he returned. When he released her, Erik looked at John. “What are your intentions toward my sister?”

She smacked her brother’s arm. “Leave. Now.”

The corners of his mouth curled up, but he ignored her and inched closer to the other man. Nyssa looked at John and his expression was serious, which made her heart sink just a little. She went over to him and laid a gentle hand on his arm. “You don’t have to answer him. It’s none of his business.”

The sound of her voice seemed to pull him out of the trance he was in, and he dipped his head to give her a quick but fierce kiss. “I love Nyssa,” he replied, his gorgeous blue eyes gazing at her warm brown ones, even as he answered her brother. “I’m going to put my ring on her finger and my baby in her belly.”

Her heart caught in her throat at his declaration. “I love you too,” she whispered.

The moment was broken as Erik stepped closer to them and held out his hand. “Welcome to the family, John. I’ll say this once: if you hurt my sister or break her heart, remember I’m the future King of Lecroisa and can have you taken out in a heartbeat.”

“Erik!” She was appalled at her brother’s threat but pleased to see the two men shake hands before Erik pulled him closer in a one-armed hug.

Once the two men separated, John spoke. “Would you like to join us for breakfast, Erik?”

Her brother shook his head and grinned at them both. “It’s good of you to offer, but I rather think you two would like to be alone right now. I’ll go mooch some breakfast from Maman and Papa instead.” He kissed her cheek and headed for the door, throwing a wave over his shoulder as he left.

“Wait, Erik!” Nyssa stepped forward and gazed at her brother. “Please don’t say anything to Maman and Papa, not yet.”

Erik nodded. “Say anything about what?” He mimed zipping his mouth closed and throwing away a key. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Nyssa breathed out slowly, and a sense of relief at her brother’s easy acceptance of her new relationship with her bodyguard washed over her.

“Thank you, big brother. I love you.”

“I love you too, little sister. It’s not my news to share. See you tonight.” He winked at her and exited the suite without further ado, and after breathing in and out slowly, she turned back around to her lover.

“That went better than I expected.”

John’s statement had her turning around and stepping into his arms. She wrapped hers around his waist and held him close. “Yes, it did.” She pressed a kiss to his jaw. “Erik would never hurt you.”

He laughed and tipped her chin up, his lips pressing against hers in a lingering kiss. “I know he wouldn’t. He’s just being a protective big brother, and I respect him for it.” She kissed him again, then opened her mouth to speak but no sound came out. After a few moments, he kissed her nose. “Tell me.”

“Did you mean what you said to Erik?”

“About the ring and the baby?”

She nodded. “Yes. I know it’s too soon, but?—”

“I meant it. I realize we’ve only been lovers for a short time, but I know how I feel about you, Nyssa. I’m in love with you.Crazy about you. Have been for two years and it’s not going to change. I do want to marry you and get you pregnant.” He paused, and she could see uncertainty in his expression. “If that’s what you want too.”

She beamed up at him. “It is.”

He kissed her then, a long, hot kiss that left her tingling all over. Then he abruptly let her go and went over to the phone sitting on the kitchen countertop. “Yes, I’d like to order some room service, please.” He rattled off some food and drinks. “Can you please deliver them in one hour? Thank you.”

“One hour?”

His gaze swept her body slowly from head to toe and his eyes darkened. Her nipples tightened at the pure lust swirling in them. “We’re heading to the shower, where I’m going to spread your legs wide and eat that sweet pussy of yours until you scream. Then I’m going to fuck you until you come all over my cock. I plan to take my time, so one hour.”

Nyssa had never had a lover before who spoke the way John did, but she loved his dirty mouth. She was already wet and desperate to feel him inside her. “Lead the way.” She held out her hand to him and he took it, weaving their fingers together as he led them to the master bathroom.

Chapter Five

Nyssa

Nyssa took the hand John held out to her after he’d opened her door and got out of the car. As much as she’d wanted to stroll around Paris, the weather was too cold and the stores she wanted to visit were too far apart, so John was driving the rental car that had been waiting at the airport for them instead.
