Chapter 9

Lila stepped into the suite, and leaned back against the door, closing her eyes as she tried to relax her muscles. It was difficult because she was so worried about Tazir. And this life. And the wedding. And Badia! Was she okay? She’d wanted to go to the hospital to visit her, but the day’s schedule had been hijacked by an events coordinator with an evil streak.

Events Coordinator. Wedding! Goodness, she hadn’t even chosen a wedding dress! Was it too late to back out of this?

The interviews. Good grief, they’d just announced to the entire world that she and Tazir would be getting married in a couple of weeks.

With a sigh, she pushed away from the door and headed into the bedroom. The wall of mirrored doors still shocked her, but in a good way. They seemed so glamorous. She felt like a movie star walking into the bedroom. Chuckling at her fanciful thoughts, she stepped into the closet and…gasped at all of the lovely gowns! There were blues and greens, reds, yellows, and of course, silver and gold dresses, all of them so lovely and…yes, glamorous!

One dress, a simple Grecian style gown done in white silk hung separately from the others with a card at the top with today’s date. She remembered reading that people often in the public eye had to notate their wardrobe with the date each piece was last worn so that it wouldn’t be worn too often. “I guess this is my life now,” she whispered, reaching out to touch the dated card.

“What’s your life?” Tazir asked, stepping into the closet.

Lila swung around with a startled gasp. “Wh…what are you doing in here? How did you get in here?”

He chuckled and came to stand at her side. She tilted her head back to look at him.

“Your bedroom is connected to mine.” He looked around, nodding with approval at the colorful dresses. “You didn’t know that?”

She might have laughed if he wasn’t so close, and if they weren’t alone. But being alone, and being so close that she could smell the spicy scent of his aftershave, words seemed to melt away.

Tazir reached out, touching the dated card just as she had. “This is what you’re wearing tonight?”

She might have smiled, but with his arm reaching for the dress, it was almost as if he were embracing her. Just centimeters separated their bodies. She couldn’t breathe. If she did, she’d inhale more of that intoxicating scent. “Apparently,” she whispered, her eyes dropping to the open neck of his dress shirt. It revealed the tanned column of his neck. Lila wondered what it would be like to kiss him there, right at the base of his neck. Or higher up? Yes, maybe along his collarbone.

The breath she’d been holding came out in a whoosh and she lifted her eyes to his. He was watching her intently, sending fire licking through her veins, her knees trembling with anticipation. Was he going to kiss her? Was she finally going
