The Two Younger Men Complete Collection

“Who told you that you had to be there by nine?”

“I told myself. That’s who.”

“Clay, don’t you love the fire in Izzy?”

“I sure do.” It seems that Jay feels the same way about her as I do. But Clay knew that he needed to talk to his brother to make sure. “Tomorrow, we are going to go in when we wake up, Izzy. That might be noon. We all need our rest.” His and Jay’s time together with Izzy on the plane had been fantastic. The moment he’d met her he’d been attracted to her. She was so beautiful. But after spending time with her he was completely captivated. She had a sense of herself that he admired. Confident but not cocky. She was funny and could make him and Jay laugh so easily. She was smart and driven. Warm and genuine. Sharing her with his twin had been mind-blowing and life changing. He wanted her more than anything or anyone else in the world. I really need to talk with Jay.

The limo parked in front of the hotel.

“It’s beautiful,” Izzy said.

Wearing the top hat and red coat uniform, the valet opened the car door for them. “Mr. Gibbs, welcome back to the Mandarin. Let me get your luggage.” He motioned to two other men who ran over to assist him. “We’ll deliver it to your suite, sir.”

“Thank you,” Clay got out and offered his hand to Izzy, and she stepped out. Jay slid over and also exited the limo.

They walked to the front desk and the manager greeted them. “Hello, Mr. Gibbs.” He turned to Jay. “And to you as well, Mr. Gibbs. Welcome back.”

“Good to be back.” Clay introduced Izzy. “This is Isabella Clemens, Charles. Izzy, Charles always takes good care of us whenever we are in London.”

“Nice to meet you,” she said.

“And you as well, Ms. Clemens.” Charles brought out three keys. “I’ve placed a bottle of champagne in the suite as well as a fruit and cheese basket. Is there anything else you would like us to bring you?”

“Is there anything you would like, Izzy?” Jay asked her.

“Nothing. Thank you.”

Clay put his arm around her. “Thank you, Charles. We’ll just head to our room.”

“Excellent.” Charles came out from behind the counter.

“No need to lead us to the suite,” Jay said. “We know the way.”

“As you wish, sir.” Charles returned to his station. “If you need anything else at all, please do not hesitate to call.”

“We will,” Clay said. “Thanks again.”

He and Jay led Izzy to the elevator.

When they opened the doors to their suite, she gasped. “Oh my God. This is fabulous.”

He and Jay had stayed in the Royal Suite so many times it had very little impact on him anymore, until now. He loved seeing it anew through her eyes.

“I’ve read of places like this but I’ve never been in one. Dibs on the bathroom first.”

Jay laughed. “Sweetheart, there are three bathrooms in this suite and a half bath.”

“Well, in that case, I get the largest one. I can’t get over how beautiful this place is.” The suite was decorated in a fresh, contemporary style.

“Wait until you see the view tomorrow morning,” Clay said, loving the look of excitement on her face. “It looks over Hyde Park.”

“The Hyde Park?”

He chuckled. “The one and only.”

“Before my bath, I want a tour. You’ve both stayed here before so you can show me around.”

“I thought you were tired,” Jay said, coming up behind her and kissing her on the neck.
