Chapter 90

• James
• Once he was in Aria’s bedroom, James concentrated on helping his daughter choose her wardrobe for the day, not that he was any good at it. He didn’t quite understand little girls’ tastes, not like he understood women’s fashion. He personally appreciated a woman’s body, Mia’s especially. And buying garments to fit that beautiful figure was a pleasure. His mistress might not know it, but she suited most clothing he bought for her. Seeing her wearing what he’d chosen made his heart glow with delight. Not that he had any qualms about ripping the expensive material to pieces simply to get his hands on her naked body either. It was thrilling and so fucking satisfying as he worked his way through what was keeping him away from what he desired most—the smooth, sensuality of her skin.
• He had just finished going through the wardrobe with his daughter when Sophie appeared, having finished drawing a bath for Aria. James noticed her shy smile, which was directed at him, and her nervous movements as she came over and ushered Aria away into the bathroom. He didn’t miss the fact that the woman was giving him sidelong looks either.
