After they arrived back at the airbase and boarded the blasted motorcycle again, Piper feared turning prematurely gray thanks to Adan’s daredevil driving. Fortunately that wasn’t the case, she realized when they entered the palace foyer and she sneaked a peek in the gold-framed mirror. Granted, her hair was a tangled mess, but she couldn’t wait a minute longer to see baby Sam.

Adan obviously felt the same, evidenced by his decision to forgo the elevator and take the stairs instead. She practically had to sprint to catch up with him as Abdul, who insisted on carrying her bag, trailed behind them.

Once they reached the third floor, both she and the houseman were winded, while Adan continued toward the nursery as if he possessed all the energy in the world. He actually did, something she’d learned over the past forty-eight hours in his bed. In his shower. In his kitchen and the pool.

Before Adan could open the nursery door, a striking woman with waist-length brunette hair walked out, clearly startled by the sheikh’s sudden appearance. “You took years off my life, brother-in-law.”

“My apologies, Maysa,” he replied, confirming she was the reining queen. “I’m anxious to see about my son.”

Maysa closed the door behind her before facing Adan. “I have already put him down for the night and I advise you wait until he wakes. You seem as though you could use some rest.” She topped off the comment with a smile aimed at Piper.

Taking that as her cue, she stepped forward, uncertain whether to curtsy or offer her hand. She opted to let the queen make the first move. “I’m Piper McAdams, and it’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Your Highness.”

“Welcome to the family,” she said, then drew Piper into a surprising embrace. “And please call me Maysa.”

Piper experienced a fraud alert. “Actually, I’m not really—”

“Accustomed to it yet,” Adan interjected. “Given time she will take to the royal treatment as an electric eel takes to water.”

Leave it to the prince to joke at a time like this. “I’m not in the market to be treated royally, but I have enjoyed my time in the palace so far.”

“I am glad,” Maysa said. “Now, if you will both excuse me, I am starving.”

Adan checked his watch. “Isn’t dinner later than usual?”

Maysa shrugged. “No, but Rafiq is waiting for me in our quarters.”

He winked at Piper before regarding Maysa again. “Oh, you’re referring to a different kind of appetite. Do not let us keep you from our king.”

“You could not if you tried.”

Following a slight wave and a smile, Maysa strode down the hallway and disappeared around the corner, leaving Piper alone with the shifty, oversexed sheikh. And she liked him that way. A lot.

He caught her hand and tugged her against him. “Have I told you how much I enjoyed our time together?”

“At least ten times, but I’ll never grow tired of hearing it. I’m just sad it’s over.”

“It doesn’t have to be, Piper. You can stay with me in my suite.
