ASH'S POV
Out of the corner of my eye, while Adrian's lips brushed mine, I caught sight of Celeste standing at the window, watching. My heart jolted. I pulled away quickly and forced a grin.
"Brother," I said, trying to sound playful, "is this really how you kiss your wife? It's so lame. My Lucien does it better. If you want class, I'll be delighted to teach you."
I winked, pretending confidence I didn't feel. Adrian stared at me, stunned and confused. Before he could say anything, I added, "My fiance must be worried about me. I shouldn't keep him waiting. Let's go."
I turned and walked ahead, stealing a glance toward the window, Celeste was gone.
Mid-step, a thought hit me. what was she doing here? Was she following Adrian? Maybe her insecurities were eating at her again. But if she came to see Naomi...why? They weren't even close.
I can't let her near my friend.
I turned to Adrian. "Would you mind assigning guards to watch over Naomi?"
He frowned. "Why?"
