Michael ushered Sabrina down through the lobby and out to the waiting limo. He knew what most people saw when they looked at him. But now, on this trip, all eyes were turned onto Sabrina. And rightly so, the woman was downright stunning. To the casual observer, she looked like she had been bred to walk on his arm.

Only the way her hand was tightly clutched around his forearm gave her away. And that little act made him want to protect her.

Dante had been right again about their choice. She was the perfect decoy to install, even if she was uncomfortable in his presence, and he wasn’t certain of the reason behind it. He tried not to let it bother him. She had slept with them both, twice. Given each of them the gift of her virginity. As jaded as he had become, he would cherish what Sabrina had given him—and Dante, for that matter.

Michael knew that Dante wanted to claim her, not just for the days and nights in the weeks ahead, but permanently. But Michael himself wasn’t as quick to jump into a full blown, committed relationship. Some of that did come from his breeding. He hated to even admit that, but he also couldn’t ignore the fact that Sabrina was, and had been, their maid. There was nothing wrong with the position. His philosophy with his business was treating everyone from the managers to the janitors with respect, both in the benefits given and the salary paid.

Granted, from what he and Dante had discovered about Sabrina, despite immense obstacles, she had pulled herself up by her bootstraps to care for her mother and then, subsequently, her brother. He respected the hell out of her for that. It took guts to ride out life’s storms. And he ached for her, for the pain and struggles she had been through that he had been oblivious to while she had been working for him.

In the limo, he asked, “So, tell me about your day. Where did you go and what did you see?”

He already knew from the report from Benjamin, but he wanted to hear it from her. This was the time for him to get to know her better. And, in some respects, it was a litmus test for her honesty. In the position he was in, he had to be careful even with the NDAs and contracts signed, because she was going to be hearing much more intimate details living with him and Dante. He needed to know that he could trust her, and this would be a start.

She glanced his way. “Well, after the studio, which was pretty fabulous, we headed to the Griffith Observatory. Then we stopped by Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame, where I got to put my hands in Marilyn Monroe’s handprints, and then, because I’ve never seen the Pacific Ocean, Benjamin drove me and Marco to the Santa Monica Pier. Did you know they have a rollercoaster, on the pier, of all places? It’s an old one, to be sure, but it was loads of fun.
