CHAPTER TWELVE

The Benefits of Being a Sultanette

Gray didn’t stay gone long, but he wasn’t back for me. He insisted on showing each of my new lovers to their rooms, despite my considerable eye rolls.

“Come back down when you’re settled in. We can get to know each other and have some dinner.” Then hopefully something more.

“Will do.” Cade smiled and looked me up and down. He didn’t have a trace of an accent, Polish or otherwise. Interesting.

“I can hardly wait.” Dominic’s rich baritone and distinct pronunciation of each word had me imagining him as some sort of African prince. I didn’t think Nigeria had those, but I was going to pretend they did.

They turned to go, Gray right behind them. He paused at the doorway, gripping the frame in one hand. I was sure he’d turn back, tell me once again I was crazy. Or even better, come back and kiss the wits out of me. Again.

I got bubkes instead. Not nearly as fun.

Voices sounded from upstairs, short conversations. I couldn’t hear their words, but I recognized Gray being in each one. What was he saying to them?

It took considerable effort to remain in the kitchen. Having him here surprised me and added a whole new dynamic to what I’d thought we were going to do.

I could work with this. Just as soon as I wrapped my head around it. Gray was begrudgingly in, then he was out, then he was back in.

He wasn’t here this time to help me. Not in the way I wanted him to. This time he wouldn’t stand idly by. He wanted to be in control.

At my core I wanted him to be too.

But not yet.

If we had any shot of a real relationship he had to see me as an independent, in control woman myself. Until I was, and he realized I wasn’t a fairy tale damsel in distress, we wouldn’t work. I’d simply be another submissive for him and he’d be another man to fill up that empty place I had inside.

No man could do that. My father hadn’t, Marc hadn’t. Ian and Hawk had gotten close. Gray had gotten closer.

I wasn’t sure I could do it myself, but I had to try.

I arranged the Arabic and Persian finger foods I had catered for the occasion on trays to busy myself until the main attraction started.

None of the men emerged again until dinner time, preceded by Gray. Like a hot guy parade.

I sent them all into the sitting room I’d prepared specifically for spending time together. Gray stayed.

He insisted on being about twelve inches from my side no matter where I went, irritating me.

“Get out from under my feet—” I almost continued – or help me finish up the food. But I wasn’t asking for his help anymore. I was doing this myself.

He didn’t back off one bit, but he did stare at all the food I laid across the countertop. “You’re playing up the whole harem thing a bit, aren’t you?”

“What? I like Persian food.
