Chapter 18

Plus de Plaisir

Charlotte’s hand cinched around Guy’s as they approached the front door of his parents’ château. Guy squeezed her hand back, attempting to reassure her, though he was nervous as well. His reception here was not always as warm as he hoped. The only one unfazed by the impending meeting was Warren. He was too busy peeking through the nearest window to notice the tension.

Guy reached for the front door, but it burst open before he grasped the handle. It flung outward seconds before Sabine stepped out with a smile rarely seen by the public. She threw her arms around Guy excitedly. “Mon frère! Je suis si heureux de vous voir!”

Guy laughed at his sister. Seeing her so relaxed and carefree was the best part of coming home. She was never so informal away from their family. After kissing each of her cheeks, Guy began the introductions. “Charlotte, this is my sister, Sabine.”

Instead of feeling intimidated by his sister’s beauty, like every other girlfriend who had had the occasion to meet Sabine, Charlotte grinned. “It’s so nice to meet you, Sabine. Guy has told me so much about you.”

“Complaining, I am sure,” Sabine said with a roll of her eyes. “That is all he does lately, complain about the date shark business. It is not my fault Lewis grew too entranced with me to continue and Guy was forced to step in.” She grinned despite her penitent words.

“The what business?” Charlotte asked.

Guy shook his head. “I will explain later,” he said to Charlotte before turning to his sister. “How is Lewis, by the way?”

“We broke up a week ago,” Sabine said with a shrug. A sound from behind her turned her attention away from the conversation. “And who is this?” she asked in regards to Warren.

Charlotte sighed at the sight of her son stepping on a planter filled with flowers to get a better view inside the house. “This is my very curious son, Warren.”

Sabine squealed in delight and she somehow managed to squat down to Warren’s height in her ridiculously tall stilettos. It was a small miracle that the cold weather prompted her to wear jeans rather than her usual short skirts. Sabine reached out to Warren, beckoning him to her side. “Look at such a fine little man!” she gushed, much to Warren’s delight. “You are so handsome and such a big boy!”

Grinning wildly at the attention, Warren hopped off the planter and was at her side immediately after. “You’re pretty,” Warren said, “and your shoes are super tall!”

“Oui, they are,” Sabine laughed.

“That means yes,” Warren said proudly.

Sabine played up her reaction, gasping at him in amazement. “You speak French? I do not believe it.”

“I can count to ten. Want to hear me?” He did not wait for her to respond, but immediately started counting. He barely even noticed when Sabine took his hand and stood, leading him into the house. She turned around and winked at Charlotte as they followed her inside.

Charlotte leaned in close to Guy and whispered, “I love your sister.
