know. I think I…” Again he lunged around his desk, his eyes conveying his intentions and she laughed, holding her hands out in front of her. “Okay!” she giggled, scooting back hurriedly. “I’ll be there! We’ll finish this!”

With that, she hurried out of his office.

Chapter 17

Amit checked his watch again. Only thirty seconds had passed. He sighed impatiently. One of his advisors was droning on about a project in the western province. It was an important project, but he wanted to get the hell out of here and go find Harper. Just ninety more seconds, he told himself. Then the meeting would be over and he could begin his lesson about how wrong it was to torment him then leave.

He didn’t hear the updates on the project. In his mind, he was going over all the different ways he was going to make love to Harper once he got out of this damn meeting.

He glanced at his watch again, almost growling when he realized that the second hand had only moved fifteen seconds.

In the end, the meeting went over by five minutes and Amit was ready to knock heads together. When he rushed out of the meeting, he discovered Rashid waiting outside, looking like he had another issue.

Before the man could speak, Amit held up his hand, stopping the man just as he opened his mouth. “Has someone attacked us?” he demanded, walking towards his goal.

“No, Your Highness!” he gasped, hurrying after Amit.

“Has someone declared war?”

“Absolutely not!”

Amit continued towards the exit for the administrative offices. “Is anyone in my family hurt?”

“They are all safe,” Rashid assured him.

“Good,” he growled, and kept going. “Then I don’t want…!”

“Amit!” Gaelen called from the opposite end of the hallway.

Amit turned to glare at his brother as he walked towards him, a sheaf of papers in his hand. “What do you want?” he demanded.

Gaelen chuckled at his brother’s grim expression, and punched him on the arm. “Nothing. I just knew that you were hurrying towards something and suspected it was the lovely Harper and…”

Amit turned on his heel, literally growling this time as he fisted his hands to keep himself from punching his brother. “Get the hell away from me!”

He stalked away with the sound of his brother’s laughter following him. He ignored the startled glances from Tarin and Talia as he walked past. He had a single purpose now and he was getting out of here as fast as he could. His goal was to find Harper and make love to her.

When he stepped into his apartment five minutes later, he looked around, furious when he didn’t find her waiting for him. Instead of asking one of the servants to locate her, he turned around and opened the door…to find Harper, hand raised to knock.

They stared at each other for a startled moment, the tension pulsating between them. Amit was the first to recover and he grabbed her wrist, pulling her into the room. With a sigh of relief, Amit slammed the door closed behind her, and pressed her back against the door.

“You are late!” he growled, lowering his head to find that spot on her neck he’d teased earlier.

Harper shivered, closing her eyes as she felt desire roar to life within her. “I thought you were kidding about…”

“I don’t joke when it comes to this,” he grumbled as he reached for the snap of her slacks. “I want you wearing skirts from now on.”

She laughed, then gasped when he jerked her slacks and panties down. “Um…” she stopped laughing when he bent down to pull her flats off, then tugged her slacks and panties past her feet, tossing them to the side.

“Since I’m down here,” he commented in a conversational tone.

Harper had no idea what he meant until she felt his hand on the back of her knee. He lifted her leg over his shoulder, opening her up with his other hand. “Perfect,” he commented.

She looked down at him, her hands on his massive shoulders to steady herself. “What are you going to do?”

But she knew! Harper saw his intent in his eyes before she even finished the question. “You can’t!” and she tried to pull back, not sure she was ready. Yesterday, he’d gotten her there quickly, even frantically. But right at this moment?

She couldn’t…! Okay, yeah, she could! His lips were amazing and then his tongue and fingers even more so. Faster than she would have thought possible, Harper felt her body splinter apart with those shocking waves of pleasure, so
