He couldn’t focus on the updates. His thoughts were elsewhere, back with Hannah in her room.
Telling Hannah about Alejandro’s accident had been far harder than he’d imagined. He hadn’t liked giving her bad news. It didn’t feel right. He’d never felt protective of her before, but he did now.
Maybe it was because she wasn’t well.
Maybe it was knowing she’d had her heart broken.
Maybe it’s because he was suddenly aware of her in a way he hadn’t been before.
Aware of her as a woman. Aware that she was very much a woman. A highly desirable woman. And that was a problem.
Mouth compressing, he rose from behind his desk, left his office and set off to meet the Kasbah’s director of security, who had promised to give him a tour of the guest wings and go over the security measures in place for the safety of their guests.
