I’m just finishing my croissant when Sebastian stalks into the restaurant in his business suit, his blood red tie making me smile inside despite the annoyed look on his face. “Why didn’t you answer any of my texts?”

“I take it you didn’t get my note?” I say in a calm tone as I pull my phone out of my purse and turn it on. I’d turned it off after I got a text from Jared letting me know he had an early morning meeting he didn’t know about and would have to catch up with me later. My breakfast with Mina was too important to let it be interrupted.

“What note?” Sebastian says, still towering over my table.

“The one I wrote and left on my desk for you…” I trail off when I realize the pen I grabbed from my purse was blue. Well, shit. Standing quickly, I say, “I’m sorry. I turned my phone off during my breakfast meeting. I thought for sure you’d see my note letting you know I was here, Mr. Lock-picker.”

He scowls, clearly annoyed. “I didn’t. Don’t turn your phone off again.”

I nod and sigh, feeling bad for inadvertently making him worry. Now that I know about his vision’s limitations, I’ll be more aware. “Since the signing isn’t for another couple hours, will you take me to the market? I still haven’t had a chance to see the Christmas decorations and vendors.”

“No.” He shakes his head, his mouth set in a firm line.

“Consider it your way of making up for destroying my bracelet.”

His gaze sharpens and his voice lowers as he takes a step closer. “No one else is allowed to bind you, Talia. I respect the nuanced meanings behind it. Do I need to remind you of the pleasure you’ve experienced every time I’ve done so?”

My stomach flutters with excitement, but I force myself to remember his commitment phobia and take a calming breath. Shaking my head, I try a different approach. “Please, Sebastian. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I’ve been so busy, I haven’t even decorated my apartment, which makes me feel anxious to walk around and admire all the glitz and glamour. I still need to get a couple of gifts and I’m hoping I’ll find them there.”

His blue gaze searches mine for a couple of seconds before he brushes a tendril of hair back from my cheek. I can tell by the softening of the lines around his mouth that we’ve called a truce, for now. Sighing, he lowers his hand to his side and takes in my black slacks, white silk blouse and black blazer, then looks at his own suit. “We’ll need coats. It’s not snowing, but it’s hovering close to thirty this morning.”

I beam, giving him the full force of the excitement brimming inside me, before I run off ahead of him to get my coat.
