I clutch my belly in shock, whirling around to locate Sinclair. He’s leaning in the doorway of our bedroom, his powerful arms crossed over his chest. Sinclair’s glowing green eyes pierce straight through me, a foreboding expression on his handsome face as he waits for my answer.

“Nowhere.” I squeak, too surprised to think clearly.

Sinclair rumbles wordlessly and prowls forward, catching my nape in his strong hand. “You told me you were coming back here after dinner, but you were clearly somewhere else, trouble. The question is whether you meant to come back and got sidetracked, or if you lied to me?”

Sinclair chuckles darkly, claiming my lips for an extended interlude that sparks fire in my veins. “Don’t make me ask Philippe where you’ve been, little wolf.” He warns when we part, “it will only make things worse.”

“I just went to see Roger.” I shrug, batting my lashes and trying to look innocent, “I’m sorry if I worried you.”

“Thank you. But you didn’t answer my question, Ella.” Sinclair responds, running his palm over the curve of my bottom and squeezing, hitching me closer.
