SYDNEY PULLED HER hair into a ponytail as she walked down the hallway and into the living room. She’d just changed into pajamas and washed the makeup off her face and now she wanted wine and make-out time with Thane. He was standing by one of the windows, his phone to his ear, and he appeared to be listening intently.

She made her way to him and he opened his free arm for her to slide against him, which she did. He gave her a gentle squeeze and she settled her chin on his chest so she could watch his expression.

“Aye, no. Aye. Pam, it’s done, don’t let them bully or manipulate you. They knew what they were doing and now they’re going through you to try and change it. Aye. Full authority.” He chuckled. “Aye, lass. Turn your phone off. Aye. We’ll talk in a couple of weeks. If I need you, I’ll send you an e-mail. Okay. Good. ’Bye.”

“Everything okay?”

“Pam’s getting some pushback from a few of the magazines and she’s trying to be nice about it. I just gave her permission not to be.” He stroked her hair. “Now, I have a question for you.”

“Ask away.”

“The little prince turns one just about a week after your birthday and Samantha wants to know if you’d like to go through the conversion at the castle. Pepper will be there, along with the staff who have all gone through the process with them, so they can keep you comfortable.”

“Translation: if I go with you to their castle, it’s an impenetrable force, and that means I will be safer there than anywhere and you’ll feel better.”

Thane chuckled. “Exactly.”

Sydney smiled and looked up at him. “I’m fine with that as long as it’s not inconvenient for anyone.”

“She wouldn’t have offered if it was.”

“Then it’s fine by me.”

He grinned and leaned down to kiss her, pushing her onto her back. “Good answer.”

“When do we go?”

“A couple of days before your birthday, however, my sister has threatened murder if I don’t let you out this weekend.”

Sydney giggled. “I desperately need some clothes, honey, so I would love time with your sister if you can make it work.”

Thane kissed her neck. “When you’re all sweetness and light like this, Sydney, I wonder what you’re up to.”

“Me? Why would I be up to anything?”

He narrowed his eyes. “Why indeed?”

Sydney sighed. “I’m trying to ask nicely to go shopping with your sister, rather than demand you get off my back since I’m a grown-ass adult and should be allowed to do whatever the hell I want to do.”

Thane dropped his head onto her shoulder and laughed. “Shite, love, you’re hilarious.”

She couldn’t help but smile. “So, what time shall I expect your sister on Friday?”

“I’ll ring her tonight.”

She slid her hands into his hair. “Thank you.”

Thane raised his head and kissed her. “Well played, sweetheart.”

Sydney giggled.

Connall came awake as Pepper grabbed for him. He felt pain slice through her as she experienced a contraction. He sat up before he was completely awake.
