Summary: Is there such a thing as privacy with Relena Dorlain?
Connections: Sequel to
Going Public
Heero headed from his position at the window to the door of Relena?s office. Poking his head out, he dismissed the secretary fifty minutes early.
Relena, too entangled in a phone conversation, said nothing, but sent her fianc? a confused glance.
He ignored it, moving to her desk and beginning to tidy up the loose papers and folders.
Relena had been all too correct about the lack of privacy in his life. He hadn?t minded at first, but now, two weeks later, both of their lives were open books to the public despite their best efforts. No matter where they went, they couldn?t be alone. Relena, being the star-powered politician she was, had always been a hot topic, but add an engagement and to her head of security no less, and it was a recipe for disaster.
Everywhere they stepped, paparazzi were laying in wait ? leaving the office, arriving at a meeting, even coming home. And home? Relena?s
humble abode was no longer the castle of privacy it used to be; the security detail had learned that they could be paid for leaking the correct information. Unable to discover who the leaks were, Heero had all but given up. ? Until he realized that they had one last private place.
Ending her conversation, she caught sight of her clean desk, then turned to Heero at her side, ?What are you up to? I still have a lot of work-?
?It can wait,? he said as pulled her gently up from the chair and pinioned her with his arms on either side of her against the brass railing that ran parallel with the office-wide window behind her desk. ?I can?t. ? And no one?s around to take our picture,? he grinned mischievously.
Her heart fluttered in her chest at his expression, and even more at his words. She grabbed the cuff of his jacket and pulled him to her.
He was right; work could wait.
