Chapter 9

Tess rushed through her suite, freshening up and then making sure her bedroom door was shut, firmly, decisively, against Trent, her own reaction to him, and any other risky idea.

When the knock at the door let her know that Trent stood outside, she questioned her ability to get one single thing done with him in her suite. But when she opened it, he nodded, smiled, all business, moved directly to the table, opened his laptop and dug into emails. Pleased, she joined him and for a couple hours, they worked, across from each other.

When at last he sat back, stretching arms above his head, she was also ready for a break.

“Let’s talk about the gala.” He smiled and she believe what he said, work was his fun.

“Ooh, yes. I’ve got caterers lined up. We cut back on one third of the staff as you suggested—”

“No, I mean dates for the gala.”

“Oh.” So, not work.

“So, you’re going with Prince Tehan.”

She huffed. “Well, here’s the thing. I never agreed to be his date. He never asked. His presumption this evening was hitting the ceiling of my good nature. I can only suppose my father promised him something, but I’m not aware.”

Trent fiddled with his fork. “How do you want it to go? It’s your event. Do you want to go with Tehan? You won’t see him much I presume except for that epic opening he talked about.” Bryon snorted like he was irritated just at the thought. “Consider if you want a date at all.”

“I do want a date. For probably all the wrong reasons. It will be discussed if I don’t show up with someone. It is expected I open the gala with the dance. And I do enjoy a man at my side when I’m all dressed up.”

“Oh you do?” His eyes lit. “Just any man or someone in particular?”

“Are you begging for a date?”

“I am. Unashamedly.”

“But you heard Tehan.”

“I did. And the discomfort on your face told me all. Would it not be a more improved situation with me at your side, helping with your details, looking charming?” He raised both his eyebrows and even though we was trying to make light of his offer, she knew he could handle it, handle the pressure from Tehan, even from her father, handle the talk, all of it. But could she?

She didn’t know what to say to him. This new pressure for her to make decisions to defy her father made her uncomfortable. But she heard the sense he was talking and she agreed with him at the same time that she disagreed. “I don’t know, Trent.”

He stood up and moved to the balcony, slid open the door, letting in a delicious breeze from outside. She joined him.

“Your view up here is incredible.” The ocean spread out before them, the gardens of the resort, the yacht club down by the water, the beautiful Palma Cathedral rose up in great heights behind the many yachts.

She stood at his side, leaning up against him.
