Chapter 9

An hour later, Lucien Deschanel put his foot in the doorway and stopped Isabelle from closing her hotel room door on him. She would have to get used to the fact he had no intention of going anywhere. He put his hand on the door and forced it opened in one firm movement taking it away from her hands. She gave a small nervous gasp and took three steps back from him as he strode into the room, his two men following dutifully behind him.

Lucien towered over her, making her feel vulnerable. She stared up at him with the guilt of a naughty child. Despite the fear the Deschanel name engendered, Isabelle had always felt curiously safe and protected when she was with Lucien. Even now, although she felt vulnerable, she wasn’t afraid.

At thirty-one, he was thirteen years younger than her, but every time she caught him looking at her, she could see he was attracted to her. She had been aware of it at family gatherings going at least seven or eight years, if she was honest with herself. She had always dismissed it as folly and a silly crush on an older woman, yet it was still there. The black in his eyes intensified as he looked down at her. For a moment they made her breathless. She hadn’t realised just how strong his attraction had become. Isabelle didn’t know whether to be flattered or worried. Perhaps she should be both.

She turned away quickly, feeling a warmth gather in her cheeks at his intense stare which made her feel like a sixteen year old schoolgirl. When she looked back, he was glancing around the small room with disapproval.

“What are you doing in this cheap hotel?” There was distaste in his tone. It made her prickle.

“It is all I can afford. Declan took all of my money. I am using what my brother gave me.” She grimaced, listening to herself offer a defence. She folded her arms and fought back the tears that came all too quick these days and often for no solid reason. She frowned at him and pouted defensively.

But when his eyes softened and he briefly touched her arm, she knew he’d seen the tears gathering in her eyes. Embarrassment and resignation that her pain was becoming more difficult to hide left her feeling distraught and exhausted, heightening her sense of vulnerability in front of Lucien. And it was obvious by the gentle velvet tone he adopted when speaking to her next that he knew. His sympathy and concern made her all the more determined not to be lulled into giving up control of her life to him.

“I am sorry. I understand. But a woman like you should not be forced to endure such surroundings.”

His voice deepened and lowered until it was almost a whisper. It caressed over her body, melting the tension, captivating her senses. She fought hard against it.

“Why did you run away?” He sounded frustrated. “You look exhausted. Your life is in danger every minute you are alone without my protection.
