“I already figured that out.”

“Who was it?”

“Stop worrying about problems I’m responsible for solving,” he said. His voice held absolute authority. “You’re my Fawn now. That means no one hurts you. If anyone tries, I’ll tear them apart, piece by fucking piece.”

“Such romantic words,” I grumbled, secretly loving his possessiveness.

He moved to the chair next to me.

I gasped when he grabbed the side of my chair and dragged me toward him, the legs scraping against the floor. He turned me to face him, parted my thighs, and shoved his hand between them.

“I like our cum mixed,” he drawled while fingering me.

I gripped the edge of the table and glanced toward the stairs, fighting back my moans. That was a constant thing with this man.

“You know what else I’d like?”

“What’s that?” I somehow managed to ask around my racing heart.

He shifted to get a better angle. “Fucking you on the Resolute Desk.”

I met his eyes in defiance while meeting his thrusts. “We both know that’s never happening again.”

“Not true. We’re going to the State Dinner this weekend,” he said in a perfectly calm tone.

I rolled my eyes. “You’re lying.”

He shook his head.

“Your father would never allow⁠—”

He rested a finger against my lips, silencing me. “He thinks it’s best for us to control the narrative. Going public lets us control the story.” His fingers moved faster inside me. “It’s a good PR move.” He changed the angle, and my thighs tightened around his wrist. “It plays well for his image.”

“I have zero interest in protecting his image,” I panted between strained breaths.

“Too bad.” He fell silent, ramming his fingers inside me harder, mercilessly, taking me over the edge.

As I came down from my high, he stole a kiss, then stood.

“Be sure to smile for the cameras, Princess.” He turned on his heel and left.

An hour later, I dragged myself back to my dorm room.

Brooks had never returned. He’d probably slipped through some secret door no one else knew existed.

I skidded to a halt when I found Adelina waiting on my bed.

“Girl, you have some explaining to do.” She crossed her legs and rested her hands on her knees. Her mouth curved into a smile, but I knew her well enough to see the questions in her eyes.

Blair jumped off her bed. “I’ll give you two some privacy.”

Once the door shut behind Blair, I slowly moved toward Adelina, hot tears blurring my vision. “I’m so sorry.” My voice cracked on that last word.

“For what?” she pressed.

“For hiding so much from you.”

“There’s that much?” She cracked a smile, causing some of my panic to dissolve. “I only counted the one where you were secretly whatevering with my brother.”
