Chapter One

Back To Reality

The next morning...

The mob of reporters and photographers is growing by the second outside of Harrison’s Kensington home. My back is pressed against the oaken front door, which Harrison slammed shut just moments ago. I’d gone outside to fetch the morning paper and found myself face to face with dozens of ravenous media types. I’ve always been excellent in front of the press, it’s my job, after all. But today, just now, I froze like a deer in the headlights. An extremely conflicted and guilty deer, I might add.

Harrison is pacing back and forth in front of me like a mad bull just waiting to be set loose from his pen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him as angry as this. His every muscle is wound up like a spring, and his jaw pulses furiously. In the week since the Moscow wreck, Harrison’s gotten his strength back and then some. We’ve been getting down to a lot of rather sensual healing, after all. But now, in this livid state, that regained strength is almost scary. I’ve never felt threatened by Harrison’s power before, but I’ve also never really seen him mad.

“They can’t be here,” he mutters, shoving his hands through his sandy hair. “This is my property, dammit. They can’t just show up here hoping to score some fucking photo op. I bet they’d scamper off pretty quickly if I went out there and broke someone’s nose. That would send a message, alright.”

“You’ve got to calm down, Harrison,” I say, “I know it’s shitty, but we need to play it cool. Don’t do anything that you’re going to regret, here.”

“Calm down? Play it cool?” he scoffs, turning that powerful body to face me, “We’ve been found out, Siena. All these weeks we’ve spent together, the life we’ve been building away from prying eyes...it’s all over. They’ve got our story in their grimy hands now. It’s all over.”

“No,” I say, closing the space between us, “Don’t say that, Harrison. Look, we knew that this was going to happen one way or another.”

“Did we?” he demands.

“Unless you expected to keep me as your secret mistress for the rest of our lives, yes,” I insist, getting heated myself. “That wasn’t your intention, was it? To keep me on the sidelines for the rest of our relationship, treating me like some perpetual booty call?”

“You know it was never like that,” he snaps, “Don’t you put that on me.”

I hurry around Harrison toward the kitchen. For some reason, my first impulse is to carry on as if none of this is really happening. The French press has been sitting right where I left it. Funny how one minute you can be putting coffee on for your perfect lover, and the next you can be watching your life unravel before your eyes. Well, perhaps funny isn’t exactly the right word, after all...

“You’d like it black, yes?” I ask crisply, pulling two coffee mugs down from the cabinet.

“How can you be thinking about
