Well, I was on his team if it was the latter.
But I needed to thank Duncan for what he did.
He was a big help today.
“Hey!”
I said, pressing the phone against my ear.
“Emerald, how are you doing?”
Deep voice with thick Italian accent.
Cassie was always a goner for Italian men for their sexy accent.
“I’m good now.
Thank you.
I’m sorry you had to take so much trouble for me today.”
My Greek god’s eyes narrowed at that.
He didn’t like me apologizing to anyone.
“Nah!
It was my pleasure I could help you.
As much as I didn’t expect our second, technically third meeting to go like that, I’m glad I got the chance to get you out of that situation.
Even though your man didn’t appreciate me with words.
Tell him he owes me big.”
I laughed.
“Oh, he knows it very well.”
Ace tried to take the phone away from me, getting irritated second by second, but I pulled away.
Chuckling, he cleared his throat.
“Anyway, jokes aside, I hope Valencian told you everything?”
I sighed.
“Yes, he did.”
“Good.
Now don’t worry at all about anything.
Arthur is out of your life now.
So, cheer up!
And yes, make that moody man of yours a little less stressed.
I have never seen that man that anxious and disturbed in all the years I have known him.
He was terrified, you know?”
I nodded, even if he couldn’t see me.
Grabbing Ace’s hand, I kissed his knuckle, making his clenched jaw relax.
“I know.
Thank you so much for helping him through all this, and for saving my life.
Thank you, Duncan.
You really did a big favor on us,” I said truthfully.
And this time, Ace didn’t show any displeasure.
“Nah, it was nothing.
I know if Valencian was in my place, he would have done the same for me.
You don’t need to thank me.
It was always a pleasure!
Anyway, I won’t hold you for long.
Your caveman must be planning to kill me right now for keeping his girl busy for that long.
You take care, Emerald.
I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah, see you later.
Goodnight.”
“Night.”
Once I returned his phone, I slumped against him.
“He seems to be a nice man.
Why do you dislike him?”
He snorted, wrapping his arms around me.
“He’s always a gentleman to the ladies he thought was decent.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even look at you twice.”
I rolled my eyes.
“Whatever you say, he helped us a lot today.
We should personally thank him.
Maybe invite him for dinner?”
He grunted, muttering something under his breath.
Something like, “I owe my life to that bastard now.”
When I raised a brow, he said, “Maybe.
But not now.
After we return from our vacation.”
My mood instantly brightened remembering our vacation.
“So?
What do we do now?”
he asked, nuzzling my neck.
Pressing myself against him, I whispered in his ear.
“You make love to me.”
He growled, standing up with me in his arms.
“My queen’s wish is my command.”

EPILOGUE – PART 1
“R
osebud?”
His deep voice murmured in my ear, followed by a lingering kiss on my neck.
“Wake up, baby.
We’re here.”
Groaning, I moved on his lap and made myself more comfortable against him, snuggling against his chest.
“Let me sleep.”
His husky chuckle sent a shiver down my sore body.
Well, the reason behind my tiredness was him.
After our twenty-five day trip to Greece and Turkey, we were supposed to meet my family at dinner directly after landing in LA.
So here we were, outside my parents’ house.
But I could barely move without wincing.
Because this man just can’t keep it in his pants.
Just because a male flight attendant flashed me his biggest smile, he banned that man from his private jet and took me to the posh bedroom of his like a rag doll, claiming me again and again as his.
As if I wasn’t already his.
Not that I didn’t beg him for more and screamed in ecstasy at his rough touches.
But now I had to endure the consequences.
I didn’t want to do the funny walk before my parents.
“They’re waiting for us, Rosebud.
If your father didn’t insist, I wouldn’t force you to get up.
I would’ve loved to go home and have you all to myself again,” he rasped, brushing his lips against my cheek.
I slapped his chest, opening my eyes to glare at him.
“Don’t you dare touch me for at least a week!
You’re banned from sex until I’m walking fine again.”
Horror drew on his features.
“What?
You’re joking, right?”
“I’m not.”
Then he pulled me closer, biting on my lower lip.
“I don’t understand why you’re punishing me, my rose.
I thought after I thoroughly satisfied you, you would give me a reward.”
I raised my brows, leaning away from his sinful lips.
“Who said I’m satisfied?
I didn’t like it at all.”
Moving in discomfort again, I pouted.
“Really?”
His voice came out low.
“I clearly remember someone moaning and begging me to go harder.”
Heat crept up my cheeks as I hid my face in the crook of his neck, making him laugh.
“You’re so mean!”
He placed a kiss on my head.
“Does it hurt, baby?
I’m sorry.
I should’ve gone a little gentler.
You should take a painkiller.”
I shook my head.
“I already took one.
I’ll be fine, don’t worry.
Let’s go now.
Otherwise, Mom will blow up our phones again.”
She has been doing it for the last two days to make sure we attend the family dinner.
Even Tess and Caleb would be there.
“What are you doing?”
I squeaked as he scooped me into his arms as soon as we got out of the car.
“Carrying my Rosebud so she doesn’t have to walk.”
He walked inside with me in his arms.
“What?
No, put me down!
I can walk myself.
My parents will be there!”
He raised a brow.
“So?
I’m taking care of my girl.
I don’t think anyone should have any problem with that.”
“But—“
He pressed the bell.
“No buts.”
Then the door opened and appeared my beaming parents.
Tess, Caleb, and Tobias strolled behind.
My cheeks flamed at their amused looks.
But Mom and Dad held concern and curiosity in their eyes.
“Hello, everyone,” my caveman greeted, walking past them.
“Sweetie, is everything okay?
Why is Ace carrying you?”
Mom queried.
I opened my mouth when he butted in.
“Jet lag, Mrs.
Hutton.
She was tired.”
“Ah, all right then.
