A week later, Rhett strode down the hall of Hyatt House, irritation feeding his quick stride. This was the third morning in a row that Trinity had missed breakfast and he was having no more of it. She was coming to breakfast if he had to carry her there.

He knew where she would be. The library or the office. He’d found her in both places for the last few days, crouched over books he’d recommended or drawing up notes and plans for the businesses. While he admired her dedication—he’d rarely seen a CEO more dedicated than she was—he had to admit he was worried.

First, she was avoiding him. After all the attention from the NOLA Secrets & Scandals blog post, he shouldn’t blame her. But he did. Her avoidance left him aching to see her, talk to her and, if he was honest, touch her again.

Second, she was working herself into an illness.

He walked through Michael’s empty office into Trinity’s. There she was, behind her desk. Only she wasn’t really sitting. Instead she was propping herself up by her arms and shoulders on the cluttered desktop. Her face was buried in a book, but she wasn’t reading. Her hair fanned over her face, hiding her closed eyes from view.

Rhett paused for a moment, almost in awe of the softening he felt in his chest. No matter how much his brain said it was dangerous, he couldn’t fight it. He admired her determination, her loyalty and her grace under pressure. The way she pushed herself to learn and grow for the good of people she would probably never meet.

It was so unlike how he’d first heard her described: as a charity director who had conned a billionaire into marrying her.

He slowly advanced across the room, uncertainty slowing his steps. What should he do? Part of him wanted to carry her to bed. His intentions weren’t entirely pure, but he had a feeling the only way she’d stay there would be if he wrapped her up in his arms and held her still until sleep became irresistible. He could just imagine her soft warmth molding against him as she surrendered to the rest her body needed so badly.

But then all his pure intentions would probably go up in smoke.

Should he wake her? Find a way to make her more comfortable where she was? She’d wake up with a terrible backache once her nap was over. It was hardly restful.

For the first time in his career—hell, since the moment he’d realized his fiancée was preparing to take him for all he was worth—he put aside his suspicions and let himself feel.

He felt the weight of responsibility and a touch of guilt that he had given her what was essentially busy work to satisfy a bunch of men who couldn’t believe in her. He felt admiration for her hard work and dedication. He felt an anxious need to touch her in a way she’d never forget.

What was that about? It was certainly something he’d never felt before.
