  79. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

“You want to know everything, right? Everything about my past, about my father’s murder?”

My heart ran faster as I nodded, not saying anything.

“I’ll tell you everything. Everything you want to know.”

SIXTY-THREE: MRS. VALENCIAN

A sigh left me with the continuous feathery kisses gliding down my neck and shoulder, when the gentle yet possessive touch of a pair of calloused hands over my curves pulled me out of the sleep. His hot breath fanned the skin of my neck. A raspy, deep groan reverberated through his chest when his palms glided over my chest.

“So perfect…” he murmured in my ear in a husky voice.

A gasp slipped from my lips as he softly bit on the skin of my throat. My eyes fluttered open to the shadowed room. The curtains blocked the sunlight out, only some rays of light peeked through the gaps.

A pair of beautiful stormy gray eyes peered into mine. With some strands of his ruffled bed hair falling over his forehead, thick stubble across his sharp jaw, and that familiar intense look of his whenever he looked at me left me breathless; as always.

“Good morning, my beautiful rose.” Gently grabbing my chin, he placed a soft kiss on my lips.

My heart fluttered at his simple yet sweet gesture.

I smiled. “Morning.”

“How did you sleep, baby?”

“Good.” All thanks to him. His touch and presence set my mind at peace. Even though his words from last night nagged me.

“When will you tell me?” I asked him last night, ready for the answers I was looking for so desperately.

His eyes met mine. “Tomorrow. You’ll know everything tomorrow.”

“Why tomorrow?”

“I need some time, Rosebud. I need to prepare myself to live my past once again, the past I had buried in the darkest corner of my memories.”

He asked for a day. And I’d have given him more than just a day if he had wanted. I made a mistake by pushing him too far once, I had hurt him unintentionally. I didn’t want to do it again. One day wasn’t much to wait for.

I wrapped my arms around his neck. “Where are we going?”

He let out a chuckle. “Aren’t you an impatient one?”

Last night, he said he wanted to take me somewhere. Somewhere we could spend some alone time away from here. Especially after the stressful days. And in his words, it was a temporary replacement of the plan he made for our vacation. Because a long vacation wasn’t possible at the moment due to his constant meetings with the Russians. But he promised me to take me on one soon.

I knew he needed this day out as much as I did. He needed this time to prepare himself to reveal his every secret before me.

I pouted. “I hate it when you do that.”
