Jurid stared at the furious beauty in front of him and couldn’t believe how angry he was. But at the same time, his admiration increased tenfold at her daring to challenge him. She was right and he knew it, but the fear he’d experienced when she’d stepped out of the limousine still resonated within him. He’d panicked because he hadn’t been able to reach her to pull her back into the safety of the armored limousine.

The chatter recently had increased. There were always threats, but over the past several weeks, his security team had picked up evidence that there was a serious plot to assassinate him. There was also evidence that the increased threats were caused by the possibility of a wedding date. It would be easier to kill him off as a single male than if he were married with an heir on the way. Unfortunately, there were many factions, enemies of his government, that didn’t want his wedding to take place.

As much as his guards had tried to keep his presence in London a secret, his enemies had discovered his whereabouts. And also knew that he was seeing Tamara. Everyone was eagerly waiting a wedding date announcement. Even the press were speculating that a date was imminent.

“I want you, Tamara,” he told her, stepping closer and resting his hands on her hips. “But I want you safe. I don’t want you putting yourself in danger.”

She gave him a tentative smile. “I don’t want to be in danger either. But I need time to readjust. Because, believe me, I won’t immediately remember all of the rules, although I’ll try.”

“Good enough,” he replied roughly. A moment later, his features cleared. “Now, where were we?” he asked, bending down and nuzzling her neck with his lips and teeth.

She smiled, tilting her head slightly. “You were going to feed me.”

His mouth froze and he lifted his head. “You are hungry?”

“For food,” she replied, then laughed at his grimace. “Sorry, but you got me all fired up and now I’m hungry. I skipped breakfast this morning.”

He stepped back and took her hand. “Food it is, then,” and he led her out of his office to the dining room. “But after lunch, we will satisfy the rest of our hungers,” he warned, his lips brushing her ear.

The kitchen staff hadn’t had much warning, but Jurid nodded with approval at the light lunch that was brought out as soon as they stepped into the dining room. “Now, please explain why your father hasn’t assigned body guards to your protection, and why you didn’t eat breakfast this morning. I know that you went out for a run and had coffee. I would have thought you’d be famished after that.”

“How do you know that I didn’t just head out for a muffin this morning? Why are you assuming I went for a run?” she teased.

“Because I am not as lax in protecting my fiancée as your father is at protecting his daughter,” he said, sipping the crisp, white wine.
