CHAPTER 9

          Griffin regarded Gloriana coolly as she walked back into his office. She’d put her hair up, which made her look shabbier than when she’d first woken up… and incredibly cute.

          A fact he found hard to believe when he usually preferred women well-mannered, well-bred, and well-groomed. Griffin was still smarting from having lowered himself to question her about her lovers before, like some petty boyfriend, and wouldn’t have minded if she’d spent the rest of the afternoon in the bathroom. All the better for him to get some actual work done.

          But Gloriana hadn’t, and now her eyes stopped on the refreshments his PA had just placed on his desk. Griffin knew she must be hungry because he doubted the customs officers had made it a priority to feed her earlier today.
