Chapter Thirteen
Balthazar
âITâS RUINED, ISNâT it?â
Frustration swirled inside Balthazar as he watched Cherie eat. She was being polite, just as heâd expected her to be, but the truth was the croissants had been baked for too long. His impeccable breakfast idea was wrecked.
âNo, sir!â Her reply was emphatic, despite its deference. âItâs lovely. I enjoy them well-done.â
âHmmm.â
He remained unconvinced, certain that she was only being courteous as the sound of a new message on his phone drew his attention from her.
âExcuse me,â he told her, rising to collect it. âThat was my phone.â
âDid I leave mine in your living room, sir?â
He paused at the question, glancing back to see her stuffing another mouthful between her lips. Balthazar had never yearned to be food so much in his life.
Maybe she does like them burned, after all?
âYes,â he told her. âYou left it charging, but Iâll collect it for you on my way back.â
âThank you, sir.â
Peering up from under her lashes, she offered him the coy smile of a much younger girl, but her wonderful assets assured him that was not the case. Cherie was all woman. He had clarified that much for himself last night.
Emboldened at the thought, he turned and strolled back to the staircase. His cock swelled at the memory of devouring her sweet pussy, his desire obvious as it rose between his legs.
âNot now,â he muttered as he ran up the steps and back to the bedroom.
Throwing open the blinds, he found a pair of joggers, which he pulled on to conceal his growing arousal before he grabbed his phone and opened the new message.
Good morning, Balthazar.
Balthazarâs brow rose as he realized it was from Sebastian, the familiar echo of guilt tingling in his chest. His brother had wanted to tell him something when theyâd met at Berruntiâs, but Balthazar had been too focused on Cherie to offer him the time.
Do you have time to talk today?
Thereâs something important I want to tell you.
Important? Balthazar pulled in a breath at the puzzling statement, wondering what was on his brotherâs mind. Perhaps his feeling had been right yesterday, Maybe Seb had a new woman, too?
Heading for the door, he started a reply to Sebastian.
Hi Seb, sure.
Hesitating at the head of the stairs, Balthazarâs thoughts returned to Cherie. As much as he wanted to make amends and be there to listen to his brother, Balthazar had her welfare to consider as well. The threat Monroe posed was as clear as it was dangerous, and having lost her once, heâd never do anything to put her in peril again.
Iâd love to meet, but Iâll have Cherie with me.
I canât risk leaving her alone until Monroe is dealt with.
He tensed at what Sebastian might make of his answer but concluded it didnât matter. Cherie was in Balthazarâs life now and she was a priority. His family would have to come to grips with what that meant, and there was no one better to introduce the idea of Cherie being with him than Sebastian.
