Chapter Nine

He might not have grinned in delight but the slight movement of his facial muscles told her he was pleased.

She spent the rest of the flight wondering what she’d done and feeling thankful that she’d slipped into her best lingerie this morning.

Fortunately, Prescott kept his plane in a different private air field than the Ruperts kept theirs. Again, it wasn’t so over the top with the private limos and door-to-door valet service, not that there was anything shabby about walking off a private jet, heading for a secured parking area and jumping into a Tesla. Not too shabby at all, she thought as she settled herself into the passenger seat. Her cell phone buzzed like a hornet stuck in her pants. She looked at call display surreptitiously and was not surprised to see Iona’s number flash.

Well, the hell with it. She didn’t have a one-hour-a-day deal with Prescott right now, and besides he’d plunged her career back into serious jeopardy.

She clicked through to the call. Before she’d identified herself Iona was issuing orders in a crisp, cold tone. “Halle, I will have my house.”

She said it as though Holly were personally standing in her way instead of killing herself to get the woman the architect of her dreams. For a second she contemplated informing Iona that she was planning to sleep with the architect in question, as though she were sacrificing herself in order for the Ruperts to get their house. But really she knew that would be boasting. She hadn’t missed the carnal way Iona had been checking Prescott out, as though he were a particularly delectable Beluga caviar.

“Well, he’ll be a much richer artist if he gives me what I want. And it will be in your best interests too. I have a great deal of influence with my husband. I can help your career, you know.” She didn’t bother voicing the equally powerful truth. That she could end her career with Rupert as easily.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Iona was gone before she’d finished speaking.

Prescott said, “Iona?”

“Yes. That woman is going to make my life hell if I don’t give her what she wants.”

To her surprise, he took her hand. “Come on. Let’s turn the Ruperts off for a few hours.”

A thrill went through her from where their hands touched all the way to her toes. There was something about Prescott that made her feel reckless and sexy.

All her research, and she’d done quite a bit, had failed to hint at where Prescott actually lived. His address was always given as the building where his office was located. There were no quotes about his ranch or his oceanfront mansion or the house he’d designed himself in the Sierra Nevada foothills. All inquiries led to the blank wall of
