“Jonas?” I asked when we reached the door.
He paused in the gap, looking gorgeous, and my mind blanked for a few seconds.
I folded my arms. “She may understand, but I most certainly do not. I’d never want to share you with anyone. Ever. I’ll have this lunch. And thank you for the spa. But I won’t allow what happened last night to happen again. As long as she’s yours, I… I won’t be.”
“No one I have ever been with, including Dani before our marriage, has ever made such demands on me,” Jonas said. “I don’t like to be pushed, Lily.”
Not knowing how to respond, I turned on the balls of my feet and walked away in defiance. I heard the sound of the front door close with force just as I simultaneously closed the bathroom door behind me.
CHAPTER TWENTY
‡
“Ms. Salomé? I’mCarrie,” a young woman with a bright smile and tailored suit said.
“I’m here to take you down to the Guerlain Spa. Are you ready?”
I had just opened the suite door, approximately thirty minutes after Jonas left. Just as he had planned.
I was showered and dressed in a blue and white checked shirt, jeans that were looser than I remembered, and ankle boots. I imagined I wasn’t her usual clientele in a designer tracksuit, but this wasn’t something I had planned or packed for. All I could do was plaster a smile on my face to match hers.
“Lily, please,” I said. “I’ll just get my cellphone.”
I quickly scanned the room for my handbag, spying my phone plugged into the computer on the desk. This must have been courtesy of Jonas, as I had completely forgotten to charge it myself. It was one more thing he has taken over, I thought as I rushed over to collect it.
Once we closed the door to the suite, I suddenly realized I didn’t have a key to get back in. I looked down at my phone and sent Jonas a message, alerting him to my error, as I was too shy to ask Carrie about getting me a key. He sent back a text a few seconds later, alleviating my concern.
Carrie is aware, and will escort you back to the room. How are you feeling?
I couldn’t help but smile as I texted back.
You only left me an hour ago. I’m fine. Just a little nervous.
He responded.
Don’t be. The massage will do you good.
I followed Carrie to the elevators and sent another text as we waited in polite silence.Thanks for this, but no more spoiling me. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Okay?
He replied.
I know it does. But if I want you to have something, I’ll give it to you. I would have given you a massage and saved you the discomfort, but I was told hands off.
I let out a groan.
“Everything alright, Lily?” Carrie asked, eyeing me questioningly as we climbed in the elevator.
“Yes. Sorry,” I said and pretended to cough.
When we climbed out, I sent a message back.
Hands on if you’re available. Hands off if you’re taken.
He responded.
Just my hands? I think you enjoy more than my hands, according to your dream.
I covered a giggle that rose in my throat as we walked through the lobby.
