Chapter Eleven

Eight fifty-one.

Adam was late. Josslyn tapped a finger against the granite countertop in exasperation. Her eyes were still gritty from lying awake all night thinking of ways to torture the loathsome man.

This was me worshiping you.

What an arrogant line. She wondered how many other women he’d shoveled that bull crap to. Josslyn didn’t want to be worshiped. She was an independent woman who didn’t need a man to complete her. The worst part was, the damn arrogant jerk thought he’d been doing her a favor.

“Are you okay?” Marin asked from across the small kitchen on the residence floor used by the First Family.

“Yeah, sure,” Josslyn lied. The fact of the matter was, Adam hadn’t done her any favors. All he’d accomplished last night was to stoke her desire for more.

More with him.

I can’t give you what you need.

What in the heck did he think she needed? A flashy engagement ring like the one blinding her every time Marin flicked her wrist? No way! But another toe-curling orgasm wouldn’t be out of order. Particularly if Adam was fully involved in the process. She must have sighed again because Marin was now scrutinizing her carefully.

“You haven’t heard a word I’ve said,” the chef complained.

If Marin was still talking about the merits of pumpkin spice, Josslyn hadn’t missed much. “I’m sorry. I’m just a little distracted.”

Marin went back to rinsing a mixing bowl in the sink. “It’s okay. I remember how aggravating it was when I couldn’t move without a pair of Secret Service agents following me. I’d like to say you get used to it, but I doubt you ever do.”

Director Worcester informed her earlier that last night’s tattooed man was undocumented and would be deported. The man with the blade was being held on a weapons charge. Agent Shaw and his team were investigating further, but the consensus was she could venture out to the zoo today. Nevertheless, an additional layer of security had been added for her safety, not to mention her annoyance.

“I don’t plan on getting used to it,” Josslyn replied. “This is only temporary.”

Marin’s face broke out in a nauseatingly dreamy smile. “Of course, there’s something to be said about having an alpha man keeping you safe.”

I need you to understand why it’s so important for me to keep you safe.

Adam’s softly murmured words reverberated throughout her body. Josslyn didn’t want to be kept safe. Or worshipped. She just wanted Adam—who was now five minutes late.

“Have you and Griffin set a date?” Josslyn decided a subject change was in order.

“New Year’s Eve,” Marin replied. “At my family’s flagship hotel in New Orleans. We’d love to have you join us.”

Josslyn toyed with the medallion she wore as she paced the small kitchen. Her sister, the First Lady, and Marin’s mother were sorority sisters. Despite always being included in the two families’ celebrations, Josslyn often felt she was on the outside looking in. As kind as Marin was, Josslyn knew a pity invite when she heard one.

“I’m sure it will be lovely,” she told the chef.
