This time, he didn’t hesitate, he wanted her to know the truth. “After my father passed away, and I became the Count, Sofia and I moved to these executive suites after my mom moved out of them. When we moved into these rooms, we never shared a bed. She didn’t even sleep in the Countess’s suite, which is right through that door,” he pointed in the direction of an oak door in the far corner of his bedroom.

He soldiered on, and the opportunity passed. “And in case you’re wondering, I had no other relationships with women during my marriage, despite the fact that my wife and I were no longer sleeping together. It took me almost two years after our wedding before I could even touch her intimately. We were married for ten years and I didn’t touch my wife for the last five years of the union. She wanted another baby, a son, an heir for me, but I didn’t want to bring another child into our messed-up marriage.”

She was sure her face portrayed the surprise she felt. “So you’ve been—”

“Celibate, yes. Until Nicolette,” He said it without shame; there was pain, but no embarrassment in admitting he had gone without intimacy for so many years. “I took a vow when I married Sofia, and I stuck to it, I needed to stick to it regardless of how unhappy I became.”

What did he mean by needing to stick to it?

These new revelations were stunning, for more than one reason. Not only was it clear to her just how bad William’s marriage was, but it was obvious that Willa’s baby brother, Christien, could not possibly be his child! Her mind whirled, and immediately she felt a rush of shame. She’d held it against William that he hadn’t seemed to want any contact with this child. But clearly, if this baby was the result of an extramarital affair that Sofia had had, then all she could do was admit that William was more than decent to allow Willa to maintain ties with the baby at his residence.

Her opinion of him shot right up. But should she say something? Confess her negative thoughts towards him?

She thought about what he’d said, then reached out to stroke the side of his face. “One last thing.”

He chuckled. “That’s an awful lot of conditions for ‘one condition’.”

His smile was contagious. She returned the gesture. “Don’t worry. It’s just one little thing.”

“Shoot.”

“Willa mustn’t know. I couldn’t bear it if—”

“Agreed and understood,” he said at once. “She’s already been through so much. There’s no sense confusing her, especially if—” He was probably about to say, “Especially if this all goes badly,” but he didn’t.

Naisha nodded slowly and managed a smile.
