CHAPTER TEN

I wonder what kind of mood His Highness is in today.

Willow knew she had an attitude, but it was beyond her to do anything about it. Tate might have finally pushed her past her limits. Either that or she had the worst case of PMS known to the history of womankind.

Still, the man was driving her nuts. As she climbed the stairs to collect the laundry from his dressing room, instances from the last few days played through her mind. Tate had literally skulked like a schoolboy after their last confrontation. Willow would know—she’d dealt with this type of behavior all the time in her freshman classes.

Tate should have grown up by now, but the isolated lifestyle he’d set up for himself kept him from having to evolve his face-to-face communication skills.

That was only her opinion, of course. Possibly influenced by her bad mood, but still justifiable based on his actions.

Several times each day, she asked herself why she didn’t just leave. Or why he didn’t send her away. She couldn’t speak for him, but she still had things she needed to accomplish here. If she could just find the opportunity… Even though he spent so much time in his office, she was afraid to breach the third floor with him so close. She’d never been the person who got away with things. Somehow, she always ended up getting caught.

She had explored the entirety of the first and second floor rooms, though. Her lack of findings told her that what she really needed, if any evidence remained at all, was hidden in the historical wealth stored on the third floor.

She refused to let her sisters down. Willow had always been one to go the extra mile for others, even if she was too afraid to do something for herself. Maybe that’s why she stayed. Having seen the man behind the angry facade, some of the pain and fear Tate carried around with him on a daily basis, Willow didn’t feel comfortable simply walking away. Tate needed someone…even if he refused to admit it.

The sound of typing as she walked back past his office distracted her from her gloomy thoughts for a moment. Tate’s bad attitude didn’t seem to have affected his work. But the fact that she still didn’t know what that work entailed only irked her further…

She carried the laundry down into the basement, none too eager to get any of her chores done today. The main drawback to living in was that her job didn’t end. And she had a very difficult time justifying spending a couple of hours in bed with a good book when her boss could clearly see she wasn’t working.

What she needed was a good night out with her sisters. Margaritas, chips and salsa, and lots of juicy gossip. That sounded like heaven right about now.

Especially after the brief, brittle conversation she’d had with Tate yesterday. She’d been cleaning up after dinner, looking forward to a night spent reading her newest novel
