Chapter Twelve

Shayna awoke the next morning to the sound of the shower running. Dante’s scent of subtle spice was everywhere. In the sheets, in her hair, in the very air. Memories of his lovemaking crashed down on her with earthshaking force. Today she’d have to face him and endure his reaction. What if he regretted it?

Sweat broke out over her skin. She wasn’t ready yet. Before Dante emerged, she jerked on her clothes and darted out of the room.

Her bedroom door was open. Instead of Zander being there, one of the Rosa’s daughters—the three came once a week to help with the dusting and heavier work, and also apparently when Dante had guests—was finished making the bed. She greeted Shayna with a shy smile on her way out.

Shayna showered and dressed, then went down to the dining room. Her heart froze in her chest as she saw Dante seated at the table with a cup of coffee and a plate of bacon and pancakes. His damp hair glinted in the morning sunlight, and she wondered where the other guys were.

“Good morning.”

He gave her a broad smile and gestured at a platter of enough food to feed an army. Though her stomach revolted at the thought of eating, Shayna filled up a plate, desperate to keep herself occupied. She sat and forced herself to nibble on a bit of bacon, occasionally darting nervous glances at Dante, waiting for his reaction to their intimacy and dreading it.

Dante’s eyes met hers, and her stomach clenched.

“About last night,” he began.

Oh God, here comes the regretful apology and it’ll-never-happen-again speech. Maybe he’d even ask her to leave.

Suddenly, Dante’s cell phone rang. He gave Shayna an apologetic smile, which darkened when he glanced down. His brows drew together as he swiped the screen to answer, and then he put the phone to his ear.

“Collette,” he said flatly.

Shayna jerked in her seat, feeling like she’d been punched in the gut. Her breakfast churned in her stomach as she heard the famous Collette’s musical voice trilling faintly through the phone speaker.

Dante’s expression softened, and he suddenly looked contrite. “Yes, I didn’t forget. I booked a room and I’ll meet you at the White House two hours before the ceremony.” He paused as Collette said something else. “Yes, we’ll make it so romantic they won’t forget.”

Cold chills marched down Shayna’s spine. Dante and his ex were doing something with the President? He’d “booked a room”? And how could he talk about making it romantic after what he’d done with Shayna last night?

Her heart shrieked with so much pain that she didn’t hear what Dante said after that. She inwardly debated asking just what he and his ex were doing together or remaining silent, but then the band saved her from making a decision as they came in through the door, carrying holders loaded with coffee from some place she’d heard them raving about last night. Dom and Alex passed out the cups, and everyone sat at the table, grabbing food off the platters.
