unknown, Caitlyn, but it is nonetheless certain.”
Caitlyn’s right eyebrow rose alone, the other two skeptical to join its partner. “I suppose right now I may not have much choice but to find out.”
“I will ensure that your discovery is a pleasurable experience.”
“I don’t doubt that,” Caitlyn said, resting her head on his shoulder as they strolled over an arched Japanese-style bridge. “So, what is it that I’ll be doing for you, exactly?”
Julien considered, shrugging one shoulder. “You will act as my personal assistant, and observe my consultations with clients, how I implement whatever courses of action my clients and I deem necessary. What will you be doing? What will you be learning? Everything.”
“That’s sounds interesting,” Caitlyn said, “don’t get me wrong. But I’m not going to feud with my family and turn my back on the only opportunity I’ll ever have for a truly bonafide education just to be your personal servant, for you to toss me aside when you’re finished with me.”
Julien looked a bit shocked at Caitlyn’s assertiveness, and in truth she was a bit shocked by it herself. But it felt right and sounded good; and ever since arriving in Paris, she’d become more comfortable in her own skin, discovering her own sense of personal power.
Julien nodded and smiled. “Quite right, Caitlyn. But I would not have you turn your back on your family, or your education. Nor will I keep you against your will or cast you aside at a whim. Should you want to go anytime, to your home in Los Angeles or to anywhere in the world, I will send you without any expense to you. If your father is no longer interested in subsidizing your education, I will do so.”
“You will -- ? You’re saying you’ll fly me anywhere in the world and, what’s more, pay for my education anywhere I can manage to get in? Assuming, that is, that things don’t work out between us.”
“Assuming nothing,” Julien said, posture straight, head back, chest expanding with pride and protectiveness. “Should you want to continue your education without us severing ties, so much the better. Whatever you want, whenever you want it, Caitlyn; that is my offer. It is all that I offer; I offer you all.”
Caitlyn’s mind began to reel. Who is this man? she had to wonder. He’s obviously making promises he can’t or won’t be able to keep. But he’s already taken me to bed, isn’t that the great goal of these elaborate lies, these suspicious seductions?
She said, “It certainly sounds like an offer I can’t refuse. I guess I have to ask this, not that I think of myself as that girl, but... how rich are you, exactly? I can’t imagine they pay business consultants all that much.”
Julien laughed, leaning back as his chest pushed out heaving slabs of mirth. He said, “My clients are world-class, I assure you. But you’re quite right. Let’s just say I have a... savings from previous dealings that ensures my leisurely enjoyment of this life and all that it has to offer.”
“Then why work at all?” Caitlyn said. “Why don’t we just go and spend your money traveling?”
“Because that’s not what you’re looking for, Caitlyn.” She wanted to be offended at his presumptuousness, but he was right.
Again.
And anyway, making love was a lot more fun than making war.
Julien took Caitlyn back to her rented condo, planning to pack her belongings and move them into his townhouse not far from the Louvre , where they first met. It struck Caitlyn as kind of fast, to be suddenly living under this man’s roof, but it did make a lot of sense from a practical standpoint. Apartments in Paris were expensive and hard to get, and his townhouse was centrally located, safe and would be rent-free for her. From there, Julien promised he’d rent Caitlyn apartment if that became what either of them felt was best. As loathe as she was just to trust him, she
