“Honey, I’m from Houston. And o’course your man saw me get on board. But we refueled in Minot, and I hopped a flight back.”

“Shit.”

“Once we were back in the U.S. of A., your men didn’t have any authority over me. But you knew I couldn’t stay away, else why all the pussyfooting at this ungodly hour?”

“I was hedging my bets. Now get lost, you hideous scribe of a she-devil.”

“Dragon,” she said, smiling. She was wearing the usual purple glasses, this time with a red suit and white jogging shoes. She jiggled her left foot like mad. “And congrats; I didn’t know you knew a great big word like scribe.”

“How big can it be? It’s one syllable.”

“Talked to the new girl yesterday,” she added, apropos of nothing. “Seems like a nice enough gal.”

“You talked to Nicole?” He gestured to a chair. “Sid-down, what’s your rush? How’s she doing?

What’d she say?”

“You’re askin’ me? You’re the daddy.”

“I’m—I’m trying to give her some space. We’ve asked a lot of her this week. I don’t—I don’t want to make things worse.”

The Dragon’s mouth, normally set in a jeering smile, softened. “She’ll come around, Big Al. Who’

d resist your charms?”

“Very funny,” he grumped. “So what’d she say?”

“Oh, we mostly talked about the historical prevalence of inbreeding among royalty.” Al groaned.

“Well, not in your family, o’course.”

He groaned again. “Thanks for that.”

“And we talked about her new digs. She sure looks like you guys. And acts like you guys. But—”

“Yeah?”

The Dragon appeared, of all things, to be choosing her words carefully. “She’s still missing her mama, o’course.”

“Well, naturally.”

“And that’s why you’ll have a hard time. Not because of all this.” She gestured to the magnificent office, and the king knew she meant all of it—the money, the status, the property. “But because she lost the only family she ever had. So why would she ever dare let any of y’all get close?” The king stared at her. “You’re pretty smart, for a psychopath.”

“Aw.” The Dragon winked. “That’s what all the cute boys say.”

Chapten 28

“J effrey, would you mind?”

“Not at all, Highness.” Her bodyguard stepped back and kicked in the door to the Outer Banks Co.
