Chapter Nine

Later that night, Gordon fell onto on the couch in her hotel hallway and lifted his water to his mouth, his grip on the glass tight. After the little episode in the elevator, followed by the surprise visit from Prince fucking George himself, he’d been in a less than stellar mood. As a matter of fact, he couldn’t wait until Max came to relieve him from duty.

Last night had been hell, sitting outside her door all night, knowing he couldn’t have her. Tonight would be even worse. He eyed the door, his heart thumping in his ears. It would be so easy to walk up to it, knock, and go inside. To take what she offered, and then take even more. So. Fucking. Easy.

And yet so fucking wrong, all at the same time. Her actions were like a see-saw, going up and down non-stop in his mind. One second she was on the ground, telling him she wanted him and only him, and the next she was in the air, calling him Mr. Waybrook and sidling up to a prince for pride and country.

Did she really want him, or was it all an act to get him back in her bed before she settled down and married a proper prince? He couldn’t see a world where she wanted to be his, though. Not like he wanted her, anyway.

It just didn’t make sense. He didn’t know her country’s laws, but if she was expected to marry a prince, he had a feeling her parents—and country—wouldn’t approve of her shacking up with an average American. She had duties. Expectations. Rules she had to live by. People who counted on her to make the best choice for them, no matter the cost to herself.

Shit, he was starting to sound like her now.

He didn’t have as many rules as she did, but his only rule was pretty simple. What made this situation all the harder was how murky the water was surrounding Isabelle.

Yes, she was supposed to marry George. Yes, they’d met. But they weren’t in love. They weren’t even engaged yet. So who was to say he couldn’t have her?

Before she said yes?

And maybe, just maybe, he’d find a way to convince her that she deserved more than an arranged marriage. Maybe she would say no…and then maybe they would…

Shit, they would nothing.

She was still a princess, and he was still not a prince.

He dropped his head back against the cushions. “Damn it.”

After eying her room again, he set his water down, stood up, and walked to her door. He refused to give it any more thought. She wasn’t George’s yet, as long as they hadn’t kissed or fucked. To the best of his knowledge, that hadn’t happened.

Not yet, anyway.

So she was his…until she wasn’t.

He made it to her door in seconds. That’s how close he’d been to her, unable to touch. Unable to take. She’d gone inside thirty minutes ago, so she shouldn’t be asleep yet. If she was, well, he’d take that as a sign that this wasn’t meant to be, then.
