Under the covers, his hand was already deftly working on the buttons of her nightgown.

Liana quickly turned onto her back. “And how exactly are you going to thank me?”

She still gripped his wrist, her eyes flashing with anger but Elian found her feisty defiance utterly captivating.

“It’s been too long since I’ve performed my husbandly duties. A grave oversight on my part,” he said, his gaze lowered, his voice deceptively quiet, masking the aw hunger within.

“You’re not leaving?” Liana asked instinctively.

“Drank too much. My legs aren’t steady,” Elian replied.

He’d washed up in the bathroom; she hadn’t smelled any alcohol on him at first, having forgotten his secretary’s comment about the heavy drinking tonight

It was only when his lips traveled from her shoulder to her neck, then from her earlobe slowly towards her mouth, that she caught the faint, unmistakable scent of whiskey.

She didn’t move. Elian’s kiss was feather-light, barely there before he pulled back.

He lifted his head just slightly, his deep eyes opening to look at her.

Liana, caught off guard, fell into the depths of his gaze. Satisfied, he lowered his head to kiss her properly.

He had a habit of letting his hands wander as they kissed. When his palm found its way to her lower abdomen again, Liana snapped back to reality.

She grabbed his wrist once more, whispering urgently. Have you lost your mind? Theo is right there.”

“The guest room,” he rasped, his voice thick with desire and effortlessly scooped her out of the bed.

By the time her back hit the mattress in the small guest room, Liana’s head was spinning.

The room was chilly and dim. Elian’s fingers, firm and knowing, moved over her skin with practiced ease, dismantling her defenses.

“Elian, don’t,” Liana protested, her hands pushing against his shoulders.

“Liana, tell me you love me,” Elian breathed against her skin, his whole body burning.

He captured her wrists, pinning them beside her head, his forehead pressed to hers as he whispered the plea.

“I don’t,” Liana retorted, angry at being trapped again, refusing to yield.

“Then I love you,” Elran said.

Liana’s mind went blank for a second.

He loves me?

His phone buzzed on the nightstand. He reached for it, answering softly, “Come get me now. I’ve been drinking, can’t drive.”

“Okay,” Anya’s eager voice replied through the speaker before she hung up.

Elian ended the call and looked at Liana. “I asked Anya to pick me up. It’s windy tonight. I’ll come get Theo tomorrow morning after he wakes up.”
