Mohab met his own eyes in the steamed-up mirror and reached a conclusion. He was insane.

He’d gotten Jala to agree to a fake engagement, then progressed to alleviate her every doubt about the sincerity of his desire. Her surrender to his lovemaking, her mind-blowing response, had admitted her equal need. Her capitulation had only been a matter of time. If he’d just kept his mouth shut, he might have had her in his bed again by now.

But he hadn’t kept his mouth shut.

Mizar and Sette rubbed against his legs, distracting him from wanting to bash himself over the head.

Sighing, he picked them up and headed out of the bathroom with Nihal and Rigel weaving between his legs. Even they couldn’t make him feel better now. They actually made him feel worse. All they did was remind him of his pleasure at Jala’s delight in them, of how it had felt to share them with her.

Topping up their treats in the kitchenette, he told them he needed to be alone. As usual, they understood him and gave him space, not following him to the wing’s reception chamber.

He stood in the middle of the magnificent space Kamal had bestowed on him and could still barely believe he was actually here. An Aal Ghaanem treated as an honored guest in the Aal Masood stronghold.

“Explain.”

He had. He’d told her everything, hadn’t left out one single detail this time. After he’d finished, she’d just turned and walked out of his quarters.

That had been three days ago. She’d left the palace that same night. He’d thought she’d head straight to the airport and fly out of Judar, never to return. But her security detail had called to report that she’d checked into a hotel on the other side of Durgham. Moving all the way across the capital had been a clear message that she’d wanted to distance herself from the palace. And him. Trying to call her had yielded no results. She wasn’t answering anyone’s phone calls. Then she’d turned her phone off. And it was all his fault.

Exhaling forcibly, he moved to the French doors, stared sightlessly at the palace grounds. He had to face the fact that he couldn’t have done anything else.

He’d lied to her too much during their relationship, hidden too much. At first believing he had to, then fearing the consequences of exposure. Then he’d seen her again, and she’d given him the full disclosure he’d long craved. And he’d realized that, apart
