Chapter Twelve

Liam stood and shook hands with the other man. Mr. Davidson smiled jovially in return, and Liam almost felt like whistling. Which he wouldn’t do. Not here in the office, at least. Walking around the desk, he led the merchant out of the office and to the main door with promises to oversee the loading of Davidson’s shipment in six weeks’ time.

It’d taken him and Prescott years to build their shipping business, but finally it looked as if all their work paid off with larger shipments. The larger the single shipment, the less time they wasted waiting to fill the cargo hold and the faster their ships could set sail.

He calculated it’d take another year before they could add to their modest fleet, but the wait would be well worth it. He knew of several captains from the war who needed work. Or who would love the chance to escape once more to the sea.

And soon, Sarina would be married to them.

Liam frowned as he returned to his office. Prescott was down on the docks making sure all the paperwork was in order, some miscommunication or other. Walking to the window, he looked down at the mass of people below. Even with the window shut tight against the winter’s cold, Liam felt the chill.

He looked along the wharf, but didn’t see his friend. Shrugging, he returned to his desk but didn’t sit behind it. Instead he saw Sarina there, how she looked rising atop him only hours ago when she’d surprised them with a visit.

Passionate and beautiful and immodest as she took them both into her body without a second thought. It hadn’t mattered to her that their secretary had only stepped out for luncheon or that Sarina faced the windows opposite his desk. Sarina’s passion had been a stunning sight. He wanted to see her like that—passionate, willing, and oh so magnificent—every day.

But she’d only marry one of them, and it’d be Prescott. That wasn’t what bothered Liam. He knew Sarina loved him, and he and Prescott had spent two years realizing they both loved Sarina and could share her without jealousy.

Oh, they’d shared women during the war, but that hardly mattered now. That had been in the heat of the moment, a quick, albeit lusty, respite from battle.

And it had been long before either had ever met Sarina Hunt.

No, this was to be for the rest of their lives. They needed to be cautious now, not reckless with their desire as they’d been this afternoon. Careful, yes, and they needed to make plans. He and Prescott were normally very good at making plans. Today hadn’t been planned, and while pleasurable, extremely pleasurable, it was also dangerous.

Sarina, too, was good at planning. Between the three of them, they should be able to devise something workable. Two of the many things he loved about her—her calmness and levelheadedness. She had a head for organization and planning, much like he and Prescott. Liam had absolutely no reservations about placing her in charge of their business if they needed to.
