Chapter 7

“Where did she go?” Kular demanded of Hashim. He’d woken up only moments ago, his mind and body ready to make love to Rayne all over again, then take her out to buy her a diamond ring. He was more determined now than ever to marry her. After last night, he wanted his ring on his finger. Never before had he felt this kind of possessive urgency. But everything about Rayne was different. He’d known that from the first moment he’d seen her.

“She left last night, Your Highness,” Hashim replied with a small bow of deference.

For a long moment, Kular simply stared at his aide. “Left? When?” He demanded.

“I believe she left just before midnight. Carrying her shoes, Your Highness.”

Kular glared, furious at the man for his tone, which practically dripped with disdain. “That’s my future wife you are speaking of, Hashim. Choose your words carefully.”

The man’s face paled, then turned an unflattering shade of red. Never before had Kular seen him flustered. The newness of the situation caused some of his anger to dissipate. But only some.

“Why did she leave?”

Hashim shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know, Your Highness. She just left and…”

Kular’s eyes narrowed, sensing that something had occurred. Something bad. “What happened?”

Hashim straightened, still upset, but trying to appear calm. And failing miserably! “She smiled the way women always do when they leave, then slipped out the door. She didn’t leave a card with her address, if that’s what you’re asking, Your Highness.”

Kular was ready to floor the man for his impertinence. Rayne was allowed to come across as sarcastic or mocking when addressing him, but only Rayne!

“Find her!” he snapped, and stalked back into his bedroom to shower. He wanted to find her and…hell, he wanted to bend her over his knee and spank her for leaving him in the middle of the night like…like someone who was ashamed to be with him.

That thought stopped him and he looked around, wondering if that’s what she thought. Over the course of the short two days of their acquaintance, she’d repeatedly tried to understand who he was and why he was pursuing her. She’d accused him of being a con artist at one point and an indolent, spoiled, wealthy brat at another. But never had she suspected that he was ruler of one of the most powerful countries in the mid-east with oil riches beyond imagining. She had no idea how powerful he was or that a single word from him could shift another country’s economy or change the direction of global financial markets.

Which was exactly why he loved her so much. And yes, it was love. It wasn’t simple lust. He’d experienced lust before and never had it accompanied this aching need to protect and pamper, as well as a demanding, driving, insane need to make love to her until she was so drenched in pleasure she couldn’t move, let alone leave him.

Why the hell had he fallen asleep last night? She’d snuck away because he’d been so exhausted.
