"Maybe, but he's also given me something new to worry about. Does everyone know the prince is in the penthouse suite?"
"More than likely," I replied. "Money stays in luxury."
Tashi stiffened before glancing at Alessandro. "We may need to move, sir."
"Tashi, I'm sure you can make this place secure for us," Alessandro said. "Bring in more guards if you have to. This hotel is in the heart of the city, which is where I need to be right now. We're not moving."
"At least not for the next week, right?" I asked.
"You are correct,gattino." Alessandro pressed a kiss to my temple. "Once this week is over, we move to your loft for a week and then decide from there how to mesh our lives together."
Tashi groaned.
"Cheer up, Tashi." I chuckled at the head enforcer. "Consider it job security."
I was still chuckling when the elevator doors started to open on the penthouse floor. There was a tall, thin, sandy-haired man waiting for us when the doors opened.
He pressed his hands together and bowed over them. "Welcome, Consort René. I have arranged food and beverage in the master chambers as well as set a bath for you. If you require anything else, please do not hesitate to call me. I am at your service day or night."
I blinked in surprise. "Thank you?"
I glanced at Alessandro.
"Gattino, this is Paolo, my personal assistant, butler, and the man I told you keeps me glued together."
Oh, that man.
But how did he know who I was?
"It's nice to meet you, Paolo. I'm René."
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Consort René."
"Just René." Please. "I'm not the consort yet."
Paolo glanced sharply at Alessandro, who just shrugged. "We're working out the details at the moment."
"As you say, sir."
Paolo gave a nod as if he understood, which clearly he didn't if the confusion on his face was any indication. And I got it, I really did. Most people would jump at the chance to be the consort to a royal prince.
I just wasn't most people.
"If Luca calls, I want to speak to him immediately," Alessandro said. "We'll be in our chambers for the rest of the night."
"Of course, sir."
Alessandro tugged me toward a room off to the left. I barely had time to glance at the interior of the main suite before I was whisked into the master bedroom.
The door closed behind us just as Alessandro spun me and slammed me into the wall. He was gentle about it, but I definitely knew I had just been cornered by a predator.
It was a heady feeling being the center of such intense attention. Alessandro's golden eyes roamed over me, scorching my exposed skin. His gaze was intense, telling me for a fact that he wanted to consume me.
Strangely enough, I looked forward to it.
"Are you going to eat me, prince?"
"Yes."
