“I don’t want to be watched in the shower.”

He walked with a grace that contradicted his menacing presence, turning to lean back against the table with his hands shoved into his pants pockets. “Okay.”

“Thank you.”

“Of course.”

“Are you going to hurt me?”

“I’m undecided.”

I tried to hide my fear. “This is all a misunderstanding. I’m sorry for any confusion.”

“Apology accepted.”

“When can I leave?”

He looked thoughtful. “You were having dinner with Cameron Cole? At the Ritz?”

I gave a wary nod.

“Your connection?”

Turning around so he didn’t read my expression, I strolled briskly toward the bookcase and reached for an old tome. I flicked through the pages, looking at photos of Africa.

“You like elephants?” He peered over my shoulder.

“Doesn’t everyone?”

“Some men like to hunt them.”

“They’re evil.” I stared up at him realizing he might be a hunter.

“I own a safari park. Its main purpose is conservation.”

I exhaled. “That makes you a hero.”

“Or just an animal lover.”

“What’s your dog’s name?”

“Pascal.”

“I love dogs, too.”

He reached for an envelope on the desk and peered down at it. “I have your contract.”

I shook my head. “I’m not signing anything.”

“Why?”

“I’m Cameron Cole’s fiancée.” I held his stare to make sure he believed me.

Ignoring Galina’s warning could be a mistake, but she had no idea Chastain had already seen me with him. It was a risk I had to take. “Helete kidnapped me. She doesn’t like Cameron, and I think that’s why I’m here.”

His head tilted thoughtfully. “She needs to get in line.”

Oh, no…“Why would anyone hate him?”
