Chapter Eleven

Greyson awoke early the next morning, his mind filled with snippets of his late-night meeting with Harrison and their father. Words were exchanged, bribes offered, threats made, but Greyson had stuck to his guns and made it clear he could not—would not—take the crown. It wouldn’t do to dwell, so he sat up.

He thought he could go for a ride on his bike to reacquaint himself with Aldora. Breathing in freshly frozen country air sounded perfect. And he thought it was early enough he could be home before Scarlett woke up. Greyson found a pair of jeans, a thick sweater, and his heavy leather jacket. But just as he opened the door, he stopped short. Scarlett was standing there, her hand up like she was going to knock.

“Good morning. Did you sleep well?” he asked.

“I did, thanks. I mean, your mother and I were out shopping until pretty late, but it was worth it.”

“Oh, really?” He tried to hide his surprise at his mother taking her on a solo excursion so soon into her visit. “Did you two have a nice evening?”

“We did. She is an unbelievably wonderful woman. I cannot even express how much I needed a fun night out like that. I was worried she wouldn’t like me, but she made it clear she does.”

Greyson felt warmth flow through his system. His mother may be a little theatrical—sometimes unreasonable—but he still adored her. Seeing Scarlett get along with his mother just confirmed how perfect he truly felt his girlfriend was.

“Anyway, I wasn’t sure what was going on this morning, so I just wanted to knock and see if you were up.”

“Actually, I’m going for a motorcycle ride through the countryside. It clears my head, and it’s a terrific way to see the kingdom. Are you interested in coming with? If not, I’d be honored to take you to the kitchen, where they’ll sort breakfast for you.”

“The ride sounds great, and I’d love to see the kingdom. Maybe we can stop somewhere to grab a Danish or something. You know how I feel about pastries.”

“I do, and I know just the right place. Why don’t you go get changed? I’ll be by your room to pick you up in what—maybe twenty minutes? Remember gloves, please.”

Greyson watched her go, trying not to focus too hard on the fact she was the first girl he’d take on the back of his motorcycle. It was his alone time he never shared with anyone, but something made him want to make an exception for her.

When he went to her rooms, he saw she had dressed for the occasion in jeans with riding boots, her thick black winter coat, and a blue-and-gray plaid scarf wound around her neck. “So what’s on the agenda today?” she asked as they walked through the main hall to the informal foyer that led to the garage.

“Well, we’re fairly free until after lunch. We have a dinner party with some of the members of Parliament tonight, but nothing too formal.
