Chapter Five

Matthew awoke to the sound of running water and gentle humming. He lifted his heavy head from the pillow and propped himself up. His limbs ached from sheer exhaustion, but he found himself confused as he examined the finely furnished bedroom suite. The black satin sheets were in a heap at the bottom of the bed, but the rest of the room was tidy.

The bathroom door opened. Razel walked out in a silk dressing gown, her hair wet and falling in untidy waves from her head.

He smiled at her as delicious thoughts of all they had done a few hours ago ran through his head. “Morning.”

“Morning.” She smiled lightly.

“Was the room this neat last night?” He laughed, feeling his cock rise at the sight of her.

She folded her arms. Her expression unreadable. “I tidied up this morning.”

“Are you okay?” he asked, sitting up.

“I’m fine. I need to go and meet Gabriella for breakfast in half an hour. We have a few things to do before we catch our plane.”

His heart sank as he climbed out of bed. “Oh right. Well, I better get dressed.”

“You can use the shower if you wish,” she said as she began straightening the bed.

“I'm—I'm fine. So, will I get to see you again?” he asked while helping her.

“See me again? Yes, probably.”

“I mean….” He sighed. “I mean, will I get to be with you?”

She picked up the heavy, satin sheets from the floor. “I doubt that.”

“Why?”

“I told you. Gabriella hardly lets me out of her sight.”

He placed his hands on his hips. “But you were way out of her sight last night.”

“Last night took five days of planning. Not to mention I had to use money to persuade Gabriella’s lover to come to New York just to keep her busy for the night.”

“And you can’t do that again?”

She turned, and then walked into the bathroom. “It would start looking a bit suspicious, don’t you think?”

“So that’s it?” he asked, walking into the living room and grabbing his pants from the floor.

“Matthew, I’m sorry. I wish my life was different, I really do, but this is it.”

“Your life doesn’t have to be like this. You’re twenty-one. I mean, surely one day you will want to live in a home of your own, with your own family—”

“Yes, I want that, but whether or not I will get it is another matter.”

“Gabriella does not own you,” he commented, pulling on his pants and walking back into the bedroom.

“She is my mother and my agent—”

“And?”

“And it isn’t that simple.”

He raked his fingers through his hair, annoyed at his growing anxiety. “Leave, then.”

“Leave? And go where, Matthew? Gabriella is all I have. She is my only family, and this is my life.” Her voice cracked. “This is my life. This is all I know.”

“It doesn’t have to be like this.” He sat on the bed. “You can leave. You can start fresh.”

“You think she is really going to let me leave? Just stand there while I quit and walk away into the sunset?”

“Get a lawyer, then.
