Chapter 23

Knight

I reach Sunset Cove in record time, just managing to get through the start of the rush hour traffic.

I make my way to Aurora’s office. There I find my beautiful wife-to-be sitting behind her desk in the corner of the room.

The sun is beaming down on her, making her white hair glow with angelic radiance. It feels like another attempt to mock me, like a spotlight shining down on the thing I mustn’t touch, mustn’t think about, mustn’t want.

I stop by the doorframe, an instinctive response to observe her beauty from a safe distance and school my thoughts.

Being away from her for the last five weeks has done fuck all for me.

I could literally be standing exactly where I was weeks ago.

Everything is the same.

The only difference is the time and setting.

Unaware of my presence, she’s tapping away at her keyboard with her eyes glued to her computer screen.

I scan over her clothes, instantly feeling annoyed. She’s wearing a nude-colored camisole top that makes her look like she’s naked. The little strap has slid down her left shoulder, an invitation to ogle the soft swell of her breast peeking over her strapless bra.

The mini chocolate-brown skirt she’s wearing is hardly any better. I’m seeing way too much skin for my liking. Why the hell is she dressed like that with all the contractors milling around? No wonder they don’t mind working late, and they’re not quick to take breaks either.

Aurora is sex on legs with a messy fuck-me-librarian bun rolled up at the back of her head.

I don’t even know why she needs to be here—working.

I’ve wondered on several occasions why she hangs on to this job so much. I understand that it was her mother’s and maybe holding on to it is like keeping her mother close to her heart. But I don’t get her.

In one breath she’s telling me her dreams for writing, and in another she’s here doing administrative work.

She’s an amazing author who could write whatever she wants. Many would kill to have the kind of platform and success she has. Not to mention her other writing experience. Her resume is beyond impressive, so why the hell isn’t she working for some lifestyle mag like she wants to?

And why the fuck did the last place turn her down when she’d worked for them for years?

I looked into all her records, so I know the level of expertise under her name and the work she put in to harness it.

The bottom line is she shouldn’t be here for a number of reasons.

One of them is me.

I take a step forward. The sound of my footstep turns her head toward me.

Her hands still on the keyboard, mid-typing. Aurora stares at me, her expression changing like the colors on a chameleon. They drift from uncertainty to anger and pause on rage. All look sexy on her.

The uncertainty is because she didn’t think I’d come. Everything else on her face are whispers of the woman scorned.

I stop a few
