Drako watched as Lilly trudged off behind her sister. He didn’t relent even when Lilly glanced pleadingly over her shoulder, begging him to give her an excuse.

Why the hell was he so irritated this morning? It wasn’t just exhaustion, but he knew they were both tired. No, it was more than that.

He heard the elevator ping and the reason occurred to him. Lilly hadn’t introduced him to her sister. She hadn’t introduced them because…because they weren’t in a relationship! Damn, he hated that! He hated that she slipped silently out of his bed every morning. He hated that he couldn’t hold her hand, or even touch her as they walked out of the building every night. He hated that he couldn’t pull her into his arms whenever he wanted to kiss her, or make her smile or just…anything! Damn it, Drako was furious that Lilly refused to acknowledge that they were in a relationship!

Yeah, that’s what was irritating him. She’d left him. After two weeks in his bed, he didn’t like that she’d left him in the morning, sneaking out of his bed like some dockyard doxy!

And yet, she was following the rules they’d established at the beginning of this…relationship. Damn it, even that word was forbidden! “Relationship.” Lilly refused to use that word for what they had with each other.

He’d agreed to the rules. And to be honest, Lilly had lived up to her side of their bargain. She was an incredible lover. She told him what she wanted, how she wanted it, and gave back to him one hundred percent.

Turning on his heel, he stalked into his office, slamming the door behind him.

So, if she was fulfilling her end of the bargain, what was wrong?

She’d left this morning. He was sick of waking up without her. He wanted her to stay with him. And damn it, he wanted to hold her when they went out to social events. Or even during the day! Hell, she wouldn’t even let him put a hand to her back now when they walked down the street.

Even before they’d become lovers, she’d let him touch her on the arm or on the back when they were out in public.

Now, she kept at least a foot of space between them. It was almost as if she had to prove to the world that they weren’t sleeping together.

Although, to be honest, there wasn’t much sleeping going on. With a grim smile, he turned back to look at his desk. There was work to do, but for once, he wasn’t in the mood. They’d just finished a major acquisition last night. There were probably a thousand details to finalize, but he didn’t care about any of them just now.

Gazing thoughtfully out the window, he wondered what Lilly would do if he took her on a trip. If they went far enough away, would she let him touch her in public? Would she allow him to kiss her on the street?

He certainly hoped so. And as soon as she got back from breakfast, he was going to alter the terms of their arrangement.
