Chapter Five

All was quiet on the museum front. Too quiet for Nick’s liking. He hadn’t heard the hum of Rosie’s vacuum cleaner for some time. He shouldn’t be concerned about her welfare—it wasn’t his business. He told himself that, but still made his way through the museum with an added urgency to his steps.

In the farthest corner of the exhibition room, he found her slumped on the floor. “Rosie? What the fuck?” Wearing what he could only describe as some sort of Cleopatra costume, complete with dramatic eye makeup, she looked like a beautiful, demented mannequin.

“Has someone been playing dress up in the storage room?” he asked with a forced laugh. This was the second time he’d found her passed out on the floor. As much as she’d tried to persuade him with her new hairdo that everything was fine, she was clearly having some sort of psychotic episode.

He wasn’t equipped to deal with this kind of thing and really didn’t know how to cope with distressed females. Normally, he would have run a mile from that emotional entanglement, but her frailty tugged at his heart and he helped her to her feet. He checked his pocket to make sure his phone with him in case he had to make a call to the local funny farm.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever see him again,” Rosie wailed. A river of tears slipped down her cheek, marring her perfect skin with a trail of watery black makeup.

“See who, Rosebud?” he asked as calmly as possible.

“Edifu.” A new trail of devastation began to run down her face.

Despite her obvious distress, bastard that he was, Nick couldn’t stop his focus wandering from her mental state to her state of dress. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from the gauzy material that gave more than a hint at her nakedness beneath. He wondered if the cherry-topped, creamy breasts tasted as sweet as they looked, if the path of golden curls between her legs would welcome his plundering cock into her soft pussy. Just thinking about it made him harder than a teenage boy at a wet T-shirt contest, and the inappropriate stab of arousal brought him to his senses. Here he was perving over her when she could go completely loco at any given second and beat him to death with a tin of furniture polish.

There was a time and a place for his particular brand of seduction, and an unhinged woman on the floor was stooping too low even for him.

“Let’s get you cleaned up,” he said, leading her to the bathroom.

He set her onto the marble-topped washbasin and dampened a handful of paper towels under the tap.

“Are you going to tell me what’s going on here, Rosebud?” He carefully removed all traces of evidence of her melodramatic breakdown from her face.

“You wouldn’t understand,” was the only explanation she would give him, her sapphire eyes welling once more. She bit her lip to halt their progression, but the action drew attention to her soft, plump lips.
