“Not gonna happen, they’re staying so forget it.”
“Jace we should maybe talk about this.”
“Nothing to talk about. When we get married this is pretty much how it’s going to be. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.”
“How come your mom doesn’t have an army of people walking around behind her?”
“You ever been to their wing?”
“Er, not really no, why?”
“Her staff’s twice the size of yours. See, you should thank me. I took it much easier than I could have.”
I know he’s lying. If his mom has that many people working for her I would’ve seen them by now. Then again this place is so huge there’s a possibility.
“Jace, what do you plan to do next? You don’t have any more surprises for me right?” Those damn women were like robots. They didn’t make a sound when they walked.
“Jace!” I took my voice down to a whisper.
“What is it baby?” He reached up to play in my hair, still distracted by the phone.
“They’re not droids are they?” This fool smirked and went back to his phone.
He flicked his eyes up to where one of the women was busy taking stuff out of a shopping bag and taking it into the closet.
“No babe, those aren’t tested well enough for me yet.”
“You…”
It was because of him that I stormed into the bathroom and slammed the door shut with a loud scream. Now these people probably think I’m just another airhead Hollywood diva with shit for brains. Gah!

JACE
* * *
Spoilt ass! She’s so cute. I finished what I was doing on the phone and dismissed her staff with a turn of my head. Dad was right, they’re very well trained. Hopefully they’re as well trained in other areas as well.
If I told that pain in the ass that I was putting guards on her I’d never hear the end of her shit. This way, she has no choice. I’m sure it’ll only take her a few days to get used to being waited on hand and foot.
Me, I’m like my dad. I got tired of that shit when I was about eleven. I hate having that many people around. But for her, I’ll endure that shit for as long as I need to. And she’s going to pipe her little ass down and go with the flow. Why does she even bother?
I walked into the bathroom where she had the shower going and heard her muttering to herself. I’m pretty sure I made out my name and a few not so harmless threats. Such a violent little thing.
I smiled for no reason other than that she makes me happy. I stripped on my way to the steam filled marble shower and slid the door open and stepped in. She had her hands in her sudsy hair. “Let me!”
“I’m not talking to you.”
‘Thank fuck!”
“JACE.”
“Sian, calm down before you get soap and water in your mouth.” I took over washing her hair, which is like a hypnosis’ pendulum for me. I don’t know what it is about washing her hair or bathing her, that puts me in a semi trance.
“Jace, it’s been ten minutes, what did you find in there?” She tried shaking her head out of my hand. “Oh, sorry.” See! She turned around in the shower and looked up at me with the water running behind her.
“What’s bothering you baby?”
“Do you have to ask? You got me seven or eight new people to work for me without asking me first. And what pray tell are they supposed to do? I don’t have that much stuff…”
I covered her mouth to keep her from talking. And because it had been too long since I’d kissed her last. She’s right, having all these people around is going to be a fucking pain. I can’t paw at her like I want to, when I want to. But her safety comes first.
After our little trip and things are taken care of, she’d be down to two or three. She doesn’t need to know the other four have a different job description.
“I missed you.” I kissed her little button nose just because and felt my heart flip over in my chest. There’re times, like this, when the love hits me out of nowhere.
Those are the times when I play a little game in my head about what I would be willing to give up if everything goes to shit. And the one thing I know for sure is, I’d give up everything else but her in a heartbeat.
If that’s not love I don’t know what is. My damn Phantom alone is worth fighting for. But seriously, it can all go away tomorrow. As long as I have her, I’ll still be on top. Of course I won’t stay down for long because…why?
Now I brushed her wet hair back from her face as I tasted her lips. I lost myself in her as I felt the day wash away. Only with her can that happen. My hands left her hair and made their way down her body to cup her fine ass.
