Nikos pulled the car to halt in front of the Georgian manor house his maternal grandfather had gifted to his daughter as a wedding present, and glanced across at the sleeping woman beside him.
With her face in repose, the pallor of MJâs skin and the dark circles under her eyes that the force of her personality and ever-present humour had masked were now evident. As he stared at her, something in his chest shifted. MJâs worry for her sister was no longer academic, but a real and vital concern.
Ice crept across his skull. What was wrong with Siena? And what kind of mess had Christian landed himself in?
They were questions he hoped to find the answers to by dayâs end. A glance at the clock on the carâs dashboard informed him there were still a few hours left. And sitting here staring at MJ wasnât going to help him find the answers.
He doubted sheâd thank him for letting her sleep, and he had no intention of carrying the damn woman into the house. An armful of warm, sleepy MJ...
He cut the thought dead.
Reaching across, he went to touch her forearm, but halted. Her arm was bare...and in her lap. Too close to her legs, breasts and things he didnât want to accidentally brush if she moved. Instead he gave her shoulder a soft shakeâa shoulder covered in the cotton of her slightly silly, holiday vibe T-shirtâbut even the brief touch had her warmth filtering from his fingertips into his bloodstream and told him how delicate and fine were the bones there.
Her eyes opened and she blinked a few times before glancing at him. And then she smiled. The force of it punched the breath from his body.
Her smile wasnât a sultry, seductive invitation. There were no come-hither overtones. It was simply her default expression.
And it was the sexiest thing heâd ever seen.
âWeâre here.â The words croaked from him.
She straightened, stretched. âWhat time is it?â
âFour-thirty.â
âWow, we made good time.â She turned to the house and stilled. âItâs beautiful.â She glanced back at him. âThis is where your mother lives, isnât it? Is she nice?â
âSo many questions.â His words were meant as an admonishment, but that was not the way they emerged. He shook himself. âOf course my mother is nice. Why do you ask? Unfortunatelyââ or perhaps he should have said âfortunatelyâ ââsheâs not here at the moment.â His mother was currently living in New York with her second husband.
âWell, thatâs a shame. Iâve met your father and Christian, of course, but never your mother.â
She wouldnât have. His mother shunned London. She spent as much time away from England as she could. He frowned. Was MJ really ignorant about what had happened eighteen years ago? Did she really not know about the torrid affair between her father and his mother...and the painful fallout that had resulted?
She pushed out of the car as if she was looking forward to stretching her legs, checking her phone as she did so. âHas
