Crowning His Unlikely Princess

Like now.

Cursing again, he pulled on jeans and a pullover and questioned his instinctive decision to take her with him to Arrantino. Perhaps she would be better staying back here in his office, taking care of business while he was gone.

But as soon as the thought formed he discounted it. The fact was he needed Cassidy with him because he had no idea what he was about to face, or how long he’d be gone. He was hoping it would only be a twenty-four-hour turnaround. Fly in, drum some sense into his brother, say hello to his mother, and fly out. Simple. Easy.

But if for some reason simple turned to complicated it would be far more efficient to have Cassidy with him than sending urgent messages to a different time zone and wondering how long it would be before she processed them.

But for that to happen she had to be completely on her game. She had to be back to her usual measured self.

And for that matter, so did he.

In her own words it had been a horrible day, capped off with a horrible night. His current adrenaline rush had nothing to do with Cassidy and everything to do with his brother’s announcement that he wanted to abdicate. He wouldn’t, Logan would see to that, but it had thrown him. Put him in in a heightened state of awareness. Like a warrior of old about to go into battle. All his senses were switched on and that was the only reason he had felt any form of arousal for Cassidy.

Feeling as if he had everything in hand again, he organised a change of clothes for himself and texted his driver to see if he’d returned to pick him up. The sooner he got to Arrantino and back, the better.
