Chapter 26

“We’d prefer to not be disturbed tonight.” Erica attempted to shut her bedroom door in Margot’s face. “Unless it’s an absolute emergency. Even then, don’t disturb us.”

“But…”

“My security team has been informed. Bring something up with Nick, if you must. He’ll be out here.”

Nick kept to himself in the hallway leading to Erica’s chambers. I knew we were constantly surrounded by security, though. Patrols stalked the perimeter of the manor, including the green space beyond the bedroom windows. Drones covered the airspace. Security cameras could catch anyone coming in and out of the main entrance to Erica’s chambers. At any moment, we could pull an alarm and summon half the night crew. The way Erica explained it, she had to once or twice before, both times because of possible intruders.

“Yes, sir.” Margot exchanged one last look with me before turning around. “I take it Ms. Chen will be having breakfast in the morning?”

“I’ll let you know if that changes.”

“Then I’ll preemptively put in an order with the kitchen.”

“Do so, please.”

Margot marched back down the hall, passing Nick without a second glance.

I went ahead of Erica into her room. The lights came on before she slammed her bedroom door and swept me up in her embrace.

“What do you think? Something hard or something softer?”

My lips lingered on hers. The last thing I wanted was to forget what her mouth tasted like. “Excuse me?”

“The drinks.” Her chuckle put me in my place. “Of course you thought I meant something else.”

I reluctantly let her leave my arms. “Considering our entire week…”

“Something hard, then?”

I shuddered in preemptive delight. “You better.”

She removed her jacket and tossed it over the back of a chaise lounge. The sounds of ice and bottles clinking together serenaded me as I sat on a couch and wondered if it was too early to take off my underwear.

Had to admit, it was much more comfortable playing the slow seduction game in a bedroom than it was rushing through love in a busy corporate office. Not that Erica had left me wanting much more whenever she was done with me for the time being, but there was definitely something to be said for relaxing and taking one’s time.

Yet by that point I was used to Erica dropping her façade around me. Whenever we were alone, she’d shed the pageantry that was presenting as male and let me see the wide swing of her hips when she walked and hear the exasperated sighs tinged with feminine tones. She’d be frank about her hormones making her feel one way or another. She’d bemoan the oncoming PMS.

Not tonight. Even though we were now in the most private place she could ask for, and I was no stranger to her female form, I only saw the man I had initially fallen for returning to me with a stout glass of brandy.

She hadn’t been kidding when she said she wanted to be “Eric” tonight. She projected a heterosexual fantasy I hadn’t indulged in since finding out the truth.
