Chapter Ten

James

I grip my phone tightly and an ominous cracking noise emanates from it. I toss it towards one of my men. I know I’m going to need a new one. What the fuck happened while I was gone? I left my princess satisfied in bed only to find out now she’s trying to escape my castle.

Before I left I made sure to have a small army keep an eye on her for me. It was intended to protect her rather than stopping her from leaving. Either way, I’m glad now that I did it. I never thought about how they would stop her if she did try to leave, given my strict order that no one touch her.

The order had come from pure jealousy. How could any man look at her and not want to touch her? So I made it clear that anyone who did wouldn't breathe to tell anyone about how soft her skin is. If I could I would tell them not to even look at her, but even I know that’s over the top. They wouldn’t be able to protect her that way, and I couldn't keep her locked away in our room, no matter how much I like that idea.

I pick up the pace back to the car, sliding into the back seat when the driver opens the door. “Get me back now,” I order. I should have stayed at the castle, but I wanted to make sure things were done, and done the way I wanted.

When the castle comes into view, relief fills me just knowing I’m closer to her. The car doesn't even come to a stop before I’m jumping out and running up the stairs. I hear John shout my name, but I ignore him. He’s just going to bitch about my safety and I have more important matters to deal with.

I jog towards our room, but slow down when I see the head guard I put on Kate, Grant, standing there.

“What the fuck happened?” I ask. Whoever upset her is going to face my wrath, and it won't be good.

“Nicolette Court has been detained and is being held in John’s office.”

I tense at the mention of Nicolette’s name and know it’s no coincidence after what my mom told me earlier. She did something.

“She was in your office.”

“And how the fuck was that possible?” I yell.

“She came with her father, Dexter, but slipped away from him and ventured over to your office. Claimed she was looking to speak to you. That you wouldn't mind.” The way Grant says it makes it sound like she implied we were having some secret affair. I give him a hard look.

“I knew better than that, sir. Why we are holding her,” he adds quickly.

“Give me the rest of it,” I tell him, knowing there is more and he is not excited to tell me.

“Kate was given free rein, as you told us. When she went into your office, I didn't stop her.”

I close my eyes, knowing where this is going.
