CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

NATALIE

On the balcony of his suite, I sat and enjoyed breakfast, wondering how he knew my real identity. Last night, when he blurted out my name, I’d wanted to inquire, but he prevented that with his kiss and another wild sex session that carried on into his bedroom. My brain and body had been too exhausted to chat after that.

But now, with a clearer mind, I needed to know.

Sitting across from me in his T-shirt and shorts, he sipped his coffee and peered at me over the rim of his cup. “My day is complete when you’re the first thing I see in the morning.”

My cheeks flushed even though that comment was nothing compared to all the insane things he did to me during last night’s marathon. His stamina was admirable, and my body was quite sore. He was a sex god, and I was the fortunate recipient, but I’d keep that thought to myself for now.

“When did you find out about me? Why didn’t you say anything?”

“Just recently. I like to know the woman I’m attracted to. You had mystery written all over you from the beginning. It was only a matter of time until I found out.”

I poked at the blueberry muffin. “What else did you find out?”

“How about I let you tell me your story when you’re ready? What I know is irrelevant compared to what you want me to know. Information can be skewed. The truth comes from the individual, right?”

The sincerity in his eyes told me I could trust him. Moreover, it was how he didn’t pressure me into doing anything. I had the option of when I wanted to share. That spoke volumes to me. With Rafael, he demanded with threats. With Grayson, he demanded indirectly, which still gave me free will. My power was never taken away from me, and I appreciated that more than he could ever know.

Maybe it was this quiet place that thrummed with serenity, or maybe it was the intimacy we’d shared last night where I surrendered to him, or maybe it was how he made me feel special that pushed me to trust him. It was a risk, but if I didn’t take it, I’d never know what would happen.

Perhaps sharing my problems with someone else besides my family could help ease the stress.

“House of LaRue is having financial issues,” I began. “There’s a board meeting in a few months. The members will vote to sell the company to the Fontaine and Chalamet Group. They know nothing about fashion. I’m scared they’ll dissolve all the hard work my parents and grandparents have put into the label.” I blew out a breath, looking out at the sturdy trees against the gray sky, wondering how they stood against inclement weather. They survived, and so would I. But right now, I felt a bit lost.

“What caused the financial trouble in the first place?” he asked, his eyes steady and calm on me.

I shrugged. “Some poor investments. I’m not really sure. My focus was always on design.
