Chapter Seven

Just as I’d requested, there’s a car waiting for us when we land at the Oakland airport. I make a mental note to tell Rachel that she pulled everything off perfectly.

While the driver whisks our bags to the trunk, we say goodbye to Grayson. Since it’s only a long weekend, and I confirmed that the other fleet pilots can handle transportation for the Stark International execs this weekend, I told Grayson to take the weekend off and enjoy San Francisco. I even offered him a room at the hotel where Damien and I are staying. He declined, explaining that his oldest daughter lives in Silicon Valley. So as soon as he’s hangared the plane, he’s heading that way.

“And where are you taking me now?” Damien asks once we’re ensconced in the plush backseat of the Lincoln Town Car.

“We’ll drop our bags at the hotel, and then I have our itinerary all mapped out.”

“Itinerary,” he repeats, sounding amused.

“It’s important,” I say indignantly. “Maybe you’ve been to San Francisco before, but this is only my second trip. And on the first one, all I saw was the inside of some hotel ballroom while I went through the paces for a Miss Junior Hoopdedoo pageant.”

His mouth twitches. “Not a pageant I’m familiar with. But I’m sure you blew them all away.”

I scowl, because I had. And that victory when I wasn’t even a teen yet had spurred my mother to push and push and push, going to any lengths in her obsession to gain me yet another tiara.

“Moving on,” I say, because I am not letting my mother creep into this weekend. “I thought about staying someplace funky and unusual, but to be honest I couldn’t find a place that had everything I want other than the Stark Century-Nob Hill.”

“As it should be,” he says, buffing his fingernails on the front of his Henley shirt that he’s paired with the fresh khakis he changed into.

I aim an exaggerated eye roll his direction. “Yes, you’re amazing. Your properties are amazing. Your employees are amazing.”

“And my wife is amazing,” he concludes, taking my hand and pressing my palm to his chest. “Which is why I always keep her right here.”

“Don’t make me melt,” I whisper. “We’re not in the limo.” The Town Car is plush, but there is no privacy screen in this particular model.

“Not to worry,” he says with a perfectly straight face as his free hand moves to the hem of my dress and starts to gently stroke the soft skin of my thigh. “Every Stark employee signs a nondisclosure.”

“Don’t even think about it,” I say, even though my body clearly has other ideas. I feel the heat pooling between my legs, and if the driver looks back, he’ll undoubtedly see how hard my nipples are. “Damien. Stop.”

Gently, I push his hand away, and he shifts position, hooking his arm around my shoulder and tugging me close. “You sure?” he teases. “We’ve never made love with someone looking. I’ve never claimed you like that, letting anyone who’s watching know that you’re mine.
