Prologue
He never imagined that the nanny hired for his niece and nephew would be this breathtaking. He thought she would be in her sixties not this young and definitely not this beautiful. He cleared his throat as she continued staring at him.
"So, Miss. Knight, what you are suggesting is that I let the kids do whatever they like?"
She swallowed hard and his gaze dropped to the movement of her throat.
"No. I'm not suggesting that at all. I just want them to have time for relaxation."
She never thought he would be this attractive in person. She saw his picture in the background search and read about him before coming here. But she never thought she would be attracted to him. She met his dark gaze and swallowed hard at the look he is giving her. She straightened and looked up at him. If going into enemy territory and facing her superiors didn't scare her then he definitely will not scare her.
"And you thought taking them out with out informing me is a good idea?"
He didn't even raise his voice. The way he talks calmly with out any kind of emotion is enough to scare everyone. But he is surprised to see her still standing there calmly and not quivering in her boots or stammering apologies. Normally people start crying or trying to reason with him at this point. The way she is doing neither is intriguing. He walks around the desk standing between them and leans against it not intimidating her but definitely in her personal space. He gets a whiff of her natural scent standing this close to her and it heats his body with desire. He stops himself from groaning in time and levels her with a stern look.
"I know you are worried about them but I would never let anything happen to them, Your grace."
