A ringing phone wakes me. I startle, then sit up, confused about where I am and who I’m with. But the day comes back to me when Mercer gets out of bed, his phone to his ear. “Right. Yes. I’ll be right down to let you in.”

“Who’s that?”

He ends the call and smiles at me. “Your stylist is here. It appears I’ve ruined the afternoon. I wanted you to have a nice bath before you dressed, but we slept the day away. Which doesn’t count, by the way.”

I’m confused and… well, just confused. “Count for what?”

“Locke? I only sleep with him. That’s his victory, remember? But it’s the afternoon. It doesn’t count.”

Oookay. I’m not even going there. So I change the subject. “Stylist?”

“If you don’t want her—”

“No. I didn’t say that. I just wasn’t expecting it.”

“I dragged you into this night. I thought I would…” He shrugs. “I don’t know. My mother is truly going to be a nightmare, Nova. I figured the stylist and the dress would make it easier on you. But if you don’t want to wear the dress, you can wear the wrinkled thing. And if you don’t want the stylist, I’ll send her away.”

“You’re nervous.”

He grins at me. “Like I said, my mother. You want to meet a woman who can give birth to a man like me? She’s one of a kind.”

I get up, cross the room to him, place my hands on his shoulders, then kiss his cheek. “Thank you. When Silas Mercer gives you a warning, you don’t dismiss it.”

He chuckles. Then rubs his thumb over my chin and stares into my eyes. “I’ve missed you.”

“What?”

“Almost missed you.” I cock my head at him in confusion, so he continues. “It would be easy to make the mistake my mother will undoubtedly make tonight. To dismiss you. But I saw something. Something hidden inside you. And I was right.”

“Ya know, you’re more… poetic than I ever expected.”

“Am I?”

I nod.

“Love it or hate it?”

“Kinda love it.”

He grins again. “There’s a robe in the bathroom.” He nods to the en suite. “I’ll send the stylist in.”

Then he turns and leaves my room.
