“Yes, sir.”

I drummed my fingers against the desk while I waited for Maeveto arrive. The girls’ escape kept replaying in my head. I shouldn’t have giventhem a ten second head start. What the hell had I been thinking?

I ran my hand through my hair and took a deep breath.

There was a light knock on my office door.

“Come in,” I called and hit a button to unlock it.

Maeve walked in. She looked fucking fantastic in her maidoutfit. But I was more focused on her red hair pulled into a bun behind herlittle black and white maid hat.

“You called, sir?” she asked in a sexy Irish accent.

Well that’s a fun surprise.

I considered ordering her to get on her knees. But Ash hadn’tbeen dressed in a maid outfit. She’d been in a bikini. And if I was gonna fuckMaeve to get Ash out of my system, I had to make her look as similar as possible.

“Pleasure to meet you,” I said. “I’ve heard good things aboutyou from your manager.”

“Thank you, sir,” she said with a shy smile and a littlecurtsy.

“How do you like it here so far?”

“I love it. Everyone is so nice. And the building…it’s amazing.I’m actually hoping to have my wedding here. My boyfriend just proposed!” Sheheld up her hand to show off a tiny engagement ring.

“Ah, I see what’s going on here. You took a job here so that youcould use your employee discount on your wedding reception.” I stared at her.

“Um, uh…” She looked around nervously. “No. I mean, sure…it’sa nice perk. But I also really wanted the job. I promise I’m not just going toquit right after my wedding.”

I waved my hand through the air. “It’s fine. Girls apply hereall the time just to get a reception discount. We’re used to it. As long as youdo your job, it’s not a problem.”

“I promise I’ll do great. I actually want to open my ownhotel someday, so I plan on staying for quite some time and learning as much asI possibly can.”

I nodded as I plotted my next move. Now that I knew she had afiancé, I needed to come at this with a bit more finesse.

“Did you need anything else, sir?” she asked.

“I do, actually.”How can I get her in a bikini?Therewere racks and racks of skimpy little bikinis for the sex auction tonight. Thegirls are going to strut out onto a runway as if they were fashion models, andthen…That’s it!“The real reason I called you up here is because I havea bit of an odd request. We’re hosting a fashion show tonight, and one of themodels is a redhead. I can’t decide which color will look best with red hair,so I was hoping you could try on a few of the outfits. The model is running alittle late.”

“Oh wow. Well, I’m not much of a model…”

“I beg to differ. In fact, if the model doesn’t show, youshould walk in her place.”

Maeve smiled but looked away. A few strands of hair fell overher freckled face.

God, she was just as shy as Ash. These redheads were drivingme insane today.

“The changing room is just down that hallway,” I said. “Thirddoor on the left. There’s a whole rack labeled V. Pick whichever one you thinkwill look best with your red hair.”

She nodded and walked off down the hall.

I started picturing her in some of the different options. Actually,I was picturing Ash in them. They were all similar to the bikini she’d wornthis morning. But better.

I couldn’t fucking wait to see Ash in one of them tonight.

As long as my guards can catch her.

I glanced down at the security footage on my computer andcycled through all the different cameras. I was half way through when myintercom buzzed.
