Chapter 15

Pearl

When I open my eyes, we're landing on a private air strip in the south east of France. Seth isn't flying this time, so he’s seated on a lounge chair next to me. I catch him for a moment asleep, looking devil-may-care in his languid pose. His head is resting against the back of the chair and his hand is on the arm rest. He suddenly opens an eye. “What are you looking at?”

I glare at him, using anger to cover up the mounting anxiety in my gut. “You were drooling in your sleep.”

His mouth curls up into a smirk. “Were you checking me out Darlington?”

“No, fuck off.”

His smirk deepens and he yawns. “Are you always this much of a bitch to the person trying to help you?”

“Oh, piss off,” I say.

Again, not so original and not so cool, Pearl.

However, Seth won’t stop harping on about how much he’s helping me. He’s not. I’m helping him with his stalled investigation. He just doesn’t see it that way. Typical bloke. Thinks he’s God’s gift.

Most of the drive to the airport and the flight over, Seth and I discussed at length our plan to get Marcel to spill the beans, as it were. Our plan. Why do I get butterflies just thinking about that?

Not just butterflies, but my legs are also restless. I’ve paced up and down the cabin a few times and had one too many coffees. I can do this, right? It’s just talking. And I’m prepared. In my luggage I have Levi’s surveillance equipment and his mini handgun. The beauty of flying in your own private jet is that you can pack whatever the hell you like and no one asks questions.

I glance over at Seth in time to see his lips twitch as he yawns a second time, stretching over head. I stifle the yawn in my own throat, unable to do much more than watch his t-shirt ride up giving me a peek of his abs. Not for the first time, do I wish that I’d let him have his wicked way with me a multitude of times already.

No, Pearl. You already went down that road, remember?

Seth is off limits.

The drive to the Montford family chateau is uneventful and the car is one of those old-fashioned vintage models that doesn’t have fucking air con. I’m sweating so hard in the back seat, that every time I re-cross my legs my skin sticks to the hard leather. And literally, every time we fly around a corner I’m thrown into Seth’s solid form, since we're sitting so close, that I spend the next minute or so extracting myself from him.

He glances my way with those gorgeous blue but ever-unreadable eyes. “If you keep throwing yourself at me, princess, I might get the wrong idea.”

I flit my eyes to him, and groan inwardly. “Just keep your hands to yourself, Romeo. This is strictly business.”

“Don’t I fucking wish it was,” he mutters.

I don’t get to ask him what he means by that because the chateau looms as we turn onto a long drive.
