“I’ll come get you…how about that?” Shadows danced over his devastatingly handsome features.
As though picking up on my scrutiny, he raked a hand through his hair. With that stubble peppering his jaw, he oozed a sensual masculinity that was dangerously alluring.Thoughts of how he’d controlled Xavier and I in his bed flashed through my thoughts, taunting me.
Luckily, the heavy material of his robe hid my beading nipples. I squeezed my thighs together as the delicious soreness in my pussy throbbed, reminding me of what he was capable of.
“Welcome to my private chambers, Ms. Rampling.” His lips curled in an erotic smile. “Only the elite get to see it.”
“Elite?”
“The ones I like to fuck.”
In that moment I knew Xavier would never give him up. James was too devastatingly gorgeous, too charismatic. Whatever had brought them together had forged a bond that made the one I had with him seem pale in comparison.
I stared into his eyes. “How long were you lovers?”
“Don’t do this to yourself.”
“It helps to make sense of everything. My heart is breaking.”
“I know.”
“Where did you meet?”
James stilled and then said softly, “The Far East.”
“How?”
“I was commissioned to escort him to a location.”
“While you were in the Navy?” I mulled it over. “Why did you say you were a lawyer?”
“I’m allowed to lie.” He arched a brow.
There was too much information being exchanged and I nosedived from exhilaration to terror. If he was willing to share these details it could mean he no longer saw me as a threat. And there was only one reason for that…
“Pervade is part of the Secret Service?”
“Careful…”
“I’m intrigued.”
“I’m telling you as much as possible without endangering you.”
“Why would it be bad for me to know more?”
“People want to hurt me.”
“That helicopter crash…” I narrowed my gaze. “They thought it was you.”
“Apparently you saved my life, Emily. You pulled me back here to deal with you. Obviously, I’d rather fuck than be shot out of the sky.”
A chill descended over me as his words hit home.
“I may or may not regret letting you take me,” I said.
“Always the charmer.” He winked.
“You didn’t like him at first?”
