Lander woke, delighted to discover he still held Juliana in his arms. Rain-washed sunlight spilled across the bed and into her eyes, causing her to stir. With a gasp she sat up, one elbow just missing his jaw, the other nailing his gut with pinpoint accuracy. Whereas the night before she’d been all grace and poetry in motion, the morning turned her awkward and uncertain. He found it unbelievably endearing.

“Good morning,” he said, once he could draw breath.

She gazed up at him, blinking the remnants of sweet dreams from her eyes. “I overslept, didn’t I?”

“A bit.” Unable to resist, he buried his hands in her hair, realizing as he did so how much he enjoyed the soft, springy texture, as well as the way the curls clung to his fingers. He gave her a slow, lingering kiss. “But if that means waking with you in my arms, rather than finding you’ve slipped out the door, so much the better.”

“It’s definitely better,” she confessed with an abashed smile. “If not conducive to good work habits.”

In that moment she looked as far removed from the self-confident businesswoman as he’d ever seen—not to mention the seductive siren who’d first captured his interest. He wasn’t certain which aspect of her personality appealed the most. Right now he found the rumpled urchin a fascination he’d love to spend the rest of the morning exploring.

Before he could suggest it, a tiny frown crinkled her forehead. “What time is it, do you know?”

“Ten.”

She nearly hyperventilated. “Work. Office. Late. Very, very late.”

He shrugged, unconcerned. “Tell them you’re with me.”

That gave her pause, if only for an instant. At least it gave her enough time to calm down. “Wait a minute. Are you telling me that sleeping with the Prince of Verdon gives me a free pass at work?”

A smile slashed across his face. “Duke of Verdon,” he corrected. “Prince of Verdonia. And I’ve been thinking of making it a royal decree. Any woman who sleeps with me is excused from work the next day. How does that sound?”

She inched toward the edge of the mattress. “You’ll have them lining up at the palace doors.”

He scooped her close before she could escape. “There’s only one woman I want at my door, and that’s you.”

He saw the delight blossom in her face and felt the eager give of her body. She laughed up at him and that momentary indulgence completely altered her appearance. A mischievous pixie peeked through the regal facade of the Fairy Queen, and Lander found he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

She was so beautiful, her eyes tilted at the corners, just enough to give them an exotic slant, while specks of gold glistened hungrily in the honey brown. The sunlight danced across the spill of auburn curls turning them to flame against the elegant angles of her face. And her body. Lord help him. Plump and rounded where it needed to be and long and lean everywhere else, with skin so milky it looked as though it had been painted on by a master artist.
