was a light ginger fragrance with a hint of musky man. He was gorgeous in a much different way from Madden. He was light to Madden’s dark, gentle to Madden’s rough. Layla caught her breath when he rubbed her cheek with his own. Her tongue stroked her suddenly dry lips.
    He knowingly smiled at her, pulling away and spoke with such restraint, “It is so wonderful to meet you, Layla.”
    Raising his eyes and breaking the connection with Layla, he looked towards Madden and nodd ed once, “She is magnificent, Madden.”
    Layla smiled at Anton, feeling a bit discomforted by his familiarity. She picked up some type of pastry and ate as Anton went to prepare her bath and Madden began flipping through documents on a small device Anton had handed him. Desperately wanting that bath, Layla took her coffee cup as she wrapped herself in the sheet and moved to the bathroom.
    Madden chuckled from behind her, “You will get used to nudity, Layla l ove. Your body should be admired.” She shook her head at him but did nothing more to continue the conversation. She felt satiated from their early joining and now wanted only to relax in a bath.
    Anton turned the faucets off and rejoined Madden at the chairs near the fireplace. Layla appreciated the privacy and relaxed as she dipped first a toe and then slowly moved her body into the perfectly warmed water. The scent of lavender filled her nostrils and she breathed deeply. She listened to the men speak as she lay in the largest tub she’d ever seen .
    “Tell us what is on our schedule for our day,” Madden instructed Anton who ran down their itinerary. Nothing sounded interesting until she heard something about dinner with Madden’s parents.
    “ We are having d inner with your parents?” Layla yelled from the bathroom.
    “As soon as I he ard of your C laiming, I set up the meal so you coul d meet . It will help with your A cclimation .” Anton spoke proudly as if he had taken care of everything. One loo k at Madden and she could see he thought the man had. Well, she had a different thought — a thought that everything was moving way the hell too fast. She needed to slow this train down. It was one thing to get used to Madden but planning their future, meeting with families needed to wait.
    “Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.” Layla jumped from the tub and stomped into the bedroom where the two men sat . Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Anton look to Madden who merely smiled and nodded , his eyebrow rais ed . But it was Anton’s sigh as his gaze roamed over her that first reminded Layla she was naked, standing in all her glory for the two men to soak in every piece of her body.
    “Do I even have clothes here?” Layla shrieke d , shaking with the feeling of being so out of control . Since when did she let others dictate her life? Damn men.
    While Madden sat frozen, Anton j umped into action and walk ed into what appeared to be a closet . He re-emerg ed with an enormous fluffy towel and a silky burgundy robe . He gave her the towel and then held t he robe out for her and waited. It took only a moment for Layla to dry enough to put her arms through the robe. She allowed Anton to fasten the belt of the robe around her waist .
    She turned then to stare at Madden. With h er hands perched on her hips, she questioned, “Dinner with your parents? Are you going to give me any say at all?”
    Layla watched Madden close his eyes and take a deep breath, clearly gathering his thoughts . “Layla, I didn’t know either . I have obviously been as distracted as you the last few days. ”
    “You , then?” Layla turned her attention to Anton and point ed her finger at him . “You set this up , so y ou can postpone this little gathering .” Layla wasn’t ready to move forward. She was just getting comfortable with Madden.
    “I could do that if you absolutely need me to,” Anton spoke while allowing his gaze to settle on Layla. His sof t butterscotch eyes swirled and mesmeriz ed Layla into calmness .
