I do, however, feel more than a twinge of regret and sadness when he leaves me.

I try to convince myself not to be affected by this pattern.

But one day, I stand out on the event deck before we open for lunch, and I’m just sort of… Dazed.

The sensation is a strange one.

I’m a little anxious, because it’s been nearly two weeks since Nick has swooped in to immediately take me home, to bed.

I have the insistent urge to tap my toe while the thought where is he? skips through my brain.

I mean, I kno

  • The Royal's Baby Proposal   Epilogue #5

    ~NICK~Bailey is radiant, as always, when she comes into the apartment.Not just because she’s breathtakingly beautiful, in general, or because she’s wearing one of her shimmering royal-blue nightgowns with her blonde curls tumbling over her bare shoulders. But because, in her arms, she’s holding our daughter, dressed in butter-colored pajamas and slippers, her blonde hair also loose and shiny.My heart does its usual flip and everything inside me tightens at the sight of them.I truly am the luckiest man alive.There are moments when I think of Bailey as my respected queen and Brielle as our precocious princess.Mostly, though… I just think of them as my heart and my soul. The two people who have healed me from my losses and given me so much hope for the future of my nation.Difficulty being, I admittedly struggle with whether I’m giving Bailey all she needs, considering what she’s sacrificed for me.Then she sweeps into a room, blowing my mind with her bright smile, and I think mayb

  • The Royal's Baby Proposal   Epilogue #4

    Two years later…~BAILEY~“What is this new madness?” I ask as I sink into a sturdy, cushioned armchair at a glass-topped table overlooking the lake with the fountains incorporated into it, so that I get the full water visual, as well as the sound of waterfalls—of which, there are manmade ones in the distance, edged by majestic, leafy trees.This is my personal haven and where I prefer to do all my socializing. Even in chilly weather, because there are fireplaces and tall heaters to warm the entire, elegantly tiled area.There’s an atrium, too, which I retreat to when it’s rainy or, on rare occasions, snowy. But this afternoon is balmy and perfect for being outdoors.Across from me, Claire smiles and cheerily says, “Today, we begin our journey of documenting yours and Nick’s love affair-slash-marriage-slash-heir-apparent-crowning.”My gaze scans the various boxes with lids and then narrows.“I’m sorry… Our what?” I quip.She laughs and tells me in her delicate, though exotic, accent,

    ~NICK~I stare at her as her words cut through me and echo in my head. I am absolutely dumbfounded. Caught unawares. Instantly fucking destroyed.“Bailey!” I blurt as the shock seizes my soul. “What on earth are you talking about?”“Oh, Jesus, Nick!” She lets out a sharp groan. “Oh, my God. I’m so sorry. Let me explain!”“Well, yeah, that would be helpful,” I insist, given she’s just ripped the rug out from beneath me.We’re finally on the same page with each other, have committed to a wedding date and now… she drops a bombshell on me.“Cold feet?” I assert as my heart stammers and my pulse pounds.Obviously, I fully comprehend how much I love this woman, how much I want her in my life, in my bed—as the mother of my child. As my queen. But it’s in this precise moment that I fear she’s having doubts again regarding all she’ll be leaving behind when she marries me. If, she marries me.Christ. I drag a hand down my face and get to my feet. “What is going on?”Grayson discretely disapp

    ~ BAILEY ~Every time I think I can’t be more in love with this man… I fall even deeper under his spell.My arms twine around his neck and I lose myself in yet another searing kiss. His devilish tongue does wicked things to mine, sparking endless fireworks.My heart flutters and my blood sizzles through my veins.I have no clue as to how much time passes. We only briefly gasp for air here and there before we’re engaging in another scorching lip-lock. He has one hand on my ass and the other arm encircles my waist. He’s still holding the present I’ve given him, but neither of us seem to have that on our minds.My fingers thread his lush hair, and we’re pressed together so tightly, a sheath of paper couldn’t pass between us.And yet… That still doesn’t feel close enough.Damn the fact that we have to wear clothing in everyday life!I would be perfectly happy to be naked with this man twenty-four-seven. Also tangled up with him in absolute seclusion.Not a possibility at present, though.

    ~ BAILEY ~“I’m sorry… whhhaaat did you just say?” Claire stares at me as though I’ve grown a third eye and perhaps an extra nose.I smirk.Her expression doesn’t change. “Bailey-soon-to-be-Angelini, aka Your Majesty… With all due respect… Are. You. Shitting. Me?”Now, I laugh.She’s learned that term from me, with the correct punctuation.I snicker at her and say, “Feel free to bring the incredulity down ten notches. You and I both know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that planning a wedding in less than a month is not the hideous undertaking you’re insinuating it is, particularly for a woman of your mad skills.”The compliment does nothing to placate her.She shoots to her feet and begins to pace, partially obstructing my view of the fountain and the large pond surrounding it, which had been expeditiously “installed” while Nick and I were in California. Apparently, if I requested it, this portion of the estate—the outer perimeters of the private apartments—would be turned into a lake t

    ~ NICK ~How could I not request this?Other than… Well… There are the standard obstacles, of course.She’s entangled in a “should I stay, or should I go?” tug of war that involves me, a child, and a restaurant—a dream she’s had forever. One that’s significant and fulfilling, given she’s achieved it primarily on her own. What help I’ve provided is financial. She’s the true victor in this vein, with her vision, ingenuity, and initiative. With her hard work.Thus, I understand I’ve just tossed her into a new mix of uncertainty. We haven’t resolved our current situation and now I’ve gone and complicated matters to the degree that her jaw slacks, she gazes at me with wide eyes, and she’s at a complete loss for words.That’s advantageous for me, so that I can explain, “I didn’t plan that, Bailey. Not necessarily. Though… It’s been on my mind. For some time. A long time, truthfully. Even before you came here.”She blinks. I’m guessing that’s to let me know she’s heard me. She just can’t res

    ~ BAILEY ~ The interior of the palace is stunning. Every single square foot of it.Of which, there are many.Too much territory to cover, of course. As we make our way from Nick’s suites—basically a spacious home within the palace walls—to a courtyard where lunch is setup for our small party, I am com

    ~ BAILEY ~“Says who?” Nick counters, not missing a beat.“It’s too much,” I merely mutter.At the same time…I’m conversely tempted by all he’s offering. Of course, I am.I’m just having difficulty reconciling all I need to reconcile. In my brain. In my heart.Oh, my heart…it’s having a field day. Jumpin

    ~ BAILEY ~ Something very specific is eating at Nick and I believe it goes well beyond his slip about us resuming a more aggressive sexual relationship once the baby is born.Yes, I recognize what a huge faux pas he made. It is a thought neither one of us should even dare to entertain. Once I give bi

  • The Royal's Baby Proposal   Chapter 39

    ~ BAILEY ~He chuckles again, his breath blowing against my damp skin, which he keeps kissing. I grip his biceps. Writhe beneath him. Restlessly. Also…tauntingly.“You do understand that’s only going to turn me on more.”“Oh…do we have a problem with that?” I politely inquire.“Such the smartass,” he re
