Sheikh Obsessions - A Sheikh Romance Box Set Read Online Free PDF Page A

she said, smiling. Beth wanted the Sheikh to see that she wasn’t going to be just another one of his servants to order around. To her surprise, he smiled back.
     
    “Yes. You certainly do,” he said, striding toward the massive front door, which was opened from the inside by an unseen member of staff.
     
    “Thank you,” she said, wondering if the Sheikh had ever had to open doors for anyone, let alone himself.
     
    Beth was beyond exhausted, but what she saw when she strolled through the door almost made her eyes pop out of her head. It was like entering a museum, except it was someone’s home. The foyer alone was as big as her mom’s three-bedroom home, tastefully decorated with warm colors and paintings that Beth guessed were all originals. She imagined that this must be what Elizabeth Bennett felt like when stepping into Mr. Darcy’s house for the first time, though comparing herself to Lizzy Bennett made the Sheikh Mr. Darcy, and she wasn’t sure how she felt about attaching that romantic moniker to him.
     
    As the Sheikh guided her down the ornately-decorated hallway with candlelight fixtures on either side, Beth caught sight of a painting of a naked woman combing her hair, as seen from behind.
     
    The Sheikh followed her gaze. “Ah, yes. I love Carrière. He had such a fascination with the female form, an appreciation really.”
     
    “It’s just a shame that back then women were seen as nothing more than vessels for babies, servants to do chores and otherwise keep silent,” Beth retorted.
     
    “I think it’s a bit more complicated than that, Beth, but I see your point,” he said, stopping at a door on the left.
     
    “Here you are,” he said, opening the door for her.
     
    Beth held tight to her bag, stepping inside and turning to face the Sheikh.
     
    “Thank you, Your Highness, for picking me up, and for the job offer. I’ll let you know my decision in the morning.”
     
    “Very good, Miss Coolidge. I certainly hope it will be a positive one. I also hope you will forgive me for starting the interview so underhandedly. I’m often treated differently because of my title, you see, so it was important for me to know what you really think.”
     
    “Then why am I still here? I insulted you, didn’t I?” Beth said, unable to keep herself from asking. To her great surprise, the Sheikh laughed.
     
    “It will take a lot more than being called spoiled to insult me, Miss Coolidge. You’ll find my skin is very thick,” he said, reaching unexpectedly for her hand and planting a kiss on it.
     
    Beth pulled her hand back. “Goodnight, Your Highness,” she said, moving to close the door.
     
    “Miss Coolidge?” he asked, before she could get it closed all the way.
     
    “Yes, Your Highness?”
     
    “Call me Osman,” he said with a grin.
     
    Beth grinned back. “No.”
     
    She closed the door on the Sheikh, smothering a laugh. She’d lost count of how many times she’d manage to raise those stellar eyebrows today, and she imagined it was more times than the women he was used to.
     
    Turning around and looking out at her suite, Beth’s mouth opened of its own accord and hung like a fish. It was like, she could only imagine, being inside Buckingham Palace. She had a sitting area with a fireplace (like that was ever necessary), and a huge bedroom with a canopy bed draped in sheer white netting. Her bedroom opened up to a balcony that overlooked the city.
     
    Dropping her bag, she headed straight to the bathroom, an open space with a showerhead dropped right down through the ceiling. When she turned it on and jumped in, it felt as though she was showering in warm rain.
     
    Donning a pair of shorts and a tank top, she snuggled into her enormous bed. Her last thought before losing consciousness was I could get used to this.
     
    And then she was fast asleep.

    Osman

He’d dreamed about her that night.
     
    Osman stood on his balcony, staring out at the glittering city. It
