CHAPTER SEVEN

JUN LI HAD GOTTEN what he wanted. They were getting married in ten days.

He ought to be pleased. He was pleased, but his thoughts were racing with everything that needed to be done. He had worked out in the gym first thing, trying to exercise this restless agitation in him, but his muscles were still tense and he hadn’t outrun the nameless thing chasing him.

It had a name, he reminded himself scathingly. He just didn’t want to acknowledge it.

He wanted to call it sexual frustration because Ivy had gone to bed before him and he’d made himself sleep elsewhere. He’d woken early and hard, thoughts swirling with how her sexual responses were “amplified.”

He ached for her, had done for months. It was all the more acute now that she was under his roof, but he had gone without sex before and hadn’t suffered this sensation of dogs snapping at his heels.

He knew what the real problem was, but he wanted to be strong and capable and reliable. Fully in control of everything around him and within him. Admitting he was prone to depression when things got too big for him to handle was demoralizing. This shouldn’t be too big. Ivy was doing the real work. All he had to do was keep her warm, dry and fed.

He’d been fine for years without medication. He resented even having to think about taking it again, but of course this massive life change had the power to knock him off balance. He was as prone to self-delusion as anyone else, but he wasn’t stupid. This was the sort of thing that should make a man pause and take stock. That’s what his body was telling him.

Easier said than done, and he would cut out his own tongue before he said aloud to Ivy that the prospect of marrying and having a child was threatening to depress him.

He glanced across at her. Apparently, he’d turned into one of those lechers who couldn’t take his eyes off a woman’s chest, because he noted again the way her top showcased her cleavage. That baby really was amplifying everything.

But they’d had a spat on the flight from Singapore and he wasn’t sure if she was speaking to him yet. He’d been busy taking calls and organizing things and said, “My mother needs a guest list from you as soon as possible.”

“For the banquet? It’s just my father’s fiancée and her daughters. The names I gave you.”

They had agreed the ceremony would be an intimate civil affair with only their parents in attendance, but the banquet would be more lavish.

“What about friends? What about your family in Hong Kong? No one wants to come?”

“Well, of course they’d love to come, but they can’t drop everything and book a flight to China at a moment’s notice. For a weekend. It’s something they have to save for.” She gave him a look that called him a wealthy, out-of-touch knot head. “They’ll visit me later, after the baby comes.”

“They don’t have to save.
