       The past had finally caught up with him and he wanted it back where it belonged.

      And then another stinging thought occurred—Rachel would find out too. Today and tonight had been amazing, and soon it would be spoiled when she discovered the truth.

      Nikolai had never had to deal with this—a lover knowing.

      And what a lover…

      It would be bad enough telling his friends and seeing the distaste in their eyes, answering difficult questions. But Rachel…?

      Yuri would say he was running from things, hiding things, and that wasn’t Nikolai’s way at all. Yet at four in the morning he went into the bedroom and picked his clothes up from the floor and dressed.

      ‘Rachel…’ His voice was not as measured as he preferred, and he had to clear his throat, but she just lay there—pretending, Nikolai was sure, to be asleep.

      He didn’t say her name again—he just collected his belongings and was gone.

      As the door closed behind him he was almost tempted to knock and say… What? That he’d locked himself out? Or…?

      No, better that she hated him than for the truth to come out, he thought as he stepped out onto the dark London streets.

      Nikolai had thought he’d long ago dealt with his past.

      It would seem he’d been wrong.

      NIKOLAI ERISTOV HAD dealt with his difficult past.

      Or rather he had been quite sure that he had.

      Yet this morning, after his preferred strong tea had been poured by his butler, Nikolai did not reach for the cup as he usually would—he could not be sure that his hand would not shake, and he had long ago decided to never let another person glimpse his weakness.

      It was how he had come to survive.

      With breakfast served, his butler went to leave the sumptuous master suite on the bridge deck of the superyacht but Nikolai called him back.

      ‘I need you to take care of something for me this morning.’

      ‘Certainly.’

      ‘I need a new a suit.’

      ‘Savile Row and Jermyn Street are—’

      ‘No,’ Nikolai interrupted. The butler had misunderstood his request. Nikolai did not want one of London’s finest tailors to be brought to the yacht, neither did he want to go and visit them. ‘I want you to go to a department store and purchase a suit for me. You have my measurements.’

      ‘I do, but—’
