Etienne glanced at the clock. “Mr. Abbott will be here shortly.”

“After that, I’m for bed. Are you coming with me?” Julio asked.

“No, mon coeur, from now until the mating, I will sleep across the hall. Now that I know you are well and after last night, you are temptation itself. I wouldn’t want to hurt you by taking you, I might forget myself.” Etienne knew his limits. He couldn’t handle warding off that much desire.

“I’d pout, but it wouldn’t change your mind. Just know that I want you as much as you want me, especially after last night.” The elevator whirred. “That must be Mr. Abbott. I told Théo to bring him right up.”

The elevator stopped and Théo entered followed by Mr. Abbott. “Mr. Abbott is here, Alpha. Shall I show him into the master suite?”

“Yes, open up the dressing room.”
