**Writer’s Note:**
Hey y’all,
***exhale***
It’s D-U-N DONE. Finally.
Now I have to completely focus on my manuscript, so if I’m responsible, you won’t hear from me soon.
Thanks for reading.

# Chapter 19
*Marco*
I wander around the palace while I wait for Anais. I’ve spent hundreds of years acquiring the art and decor. People think Anais designed the home. They’re wrong. I did.
There’s a sultry, “*Marco*,” behind me.
I turn and find Elise in her silk pajamas — pastel shorts with a short, flowing tank top. My heart thumps hard. It’s the middle of the day. She usually only wears that outfit during the day for one reason.
She extends a delicate hand. “Can you come with me, please?”
When I extend my hand in return, she takes only my index finger. My mouth starts to salivate.
She quietly leads me through the palace, only occasionally looking back with a cute, coy expression. My dick aches in my pants by the time she turns a gold doorknob. I know this room. I know what we’ve done in this room.
