Herrick's POV
Last night was the bomb for me. I had the most pleasant night I had ever had with any woman in the past few years. It was Elena, she made it happen, she went beyond my expectations.
At first, she seemed to be upset but she outdid herself in my chambers yesterday. She was simply all over me and thinking about it, made me want her more.
"You're smiling."
My thoughts were interrupted by Beta Alexander who had walked in.
"You're here."
"Yes. I didn't know you were going to be in your lair because I came looking for you and was told you weren't here."
"Yes, Beta Alexander. I didn't come out as early as usual. I was held back by a private matter."
"You mean you were held back by that slave."
I was shocked that he knew about last night. I often wonder how he gets information earlier than I, myself do.
"You must have heard."
"I didn't have to hear. It's all written all over you."
