Page 57 of My Favorite Secret
“We have our biggest deal going down next week. Stay with us until then?—”
“I can’t. I’m out immediately.”
He claws at his scalp, groaning, and curses several times. Theo and his cousin can do the deal themselves, but I’ve always been the best one for the job.
“Man, are you sure this is what you want?” he asks. “Eclipse is about to burst with demand. Think of the money you’ll miss out on.”
“I have thought about this. My answer isn’t changing.”
The elevatordingsand its doors slide open. “Felix?”
Fuck.
I turn around at the sound of Harper calling my name, finding her worried eyes switching between me and Theo. “Dad said you came down here.”
Fucking Tyler.
This is exactly what I wanted to avoid, Harper fretting for no reason. Seeing me in a tense conversation with Theo. He’s like a brother to me and I know I can trust him, but she doesn’t understand my dynamic with him.
“Where’s Tyler?” I ask.
“Stuck talking with Dad about college. What are you doing?”
“Chatting. Go back upstairs. I’ll be with you in a minute.”
She looks back at Theo like a scared mouse. She’s always been scared of him. It’s always amused the two of us, but not me anymore. I don’t want my girlfriend frightened of anything or anyone ever again.
As soon as her eyes switch to the redhead, all traces of fear are gone, and she’s suddenly glaring at the girl with the most hateful look I’ve ever seen from her. Harper steps in front of me and takes my hand, weaving our fingers.
Theo laughs. “Now it all makes sense.” He’s wearing a smug grin, but he’s not being an asshole. If anything, he looks pleased for me. “How many years has it been? You finally got her.”
“What’s he talking about?” Harper asks.
Theo answers before I can speak. “You’re the only girl he’s ever been interested in.”
The girl behind him speaks up for the first time. “Felix, is this the psycho freak who threw the dagger at me?”
Harper’s eyes flare with anger again. Now I remember where I know the girl from and why Harper is so worked up over her presence. I fucking love this side of Harper.
“Yes, I’m the one,” Harper fires back. “I’ll aim for your face next time.”
I slip a hand around Harper’s waist and press her ass tomy hips so she can feel the semi she’s giving me. “Be careful how you talk about my girl. I’m the only one allowed to call her names. If you’ll excuse us, we’re needed back upstairs. Theo, man, are we good?”
“Yeah, we’re good,” he groans. “I’m pissed off. But you’re lucky we’re friends and I understand your circumstances.”
I pull Harper back into the elevator with me and press the penthouse button. The moment the doors slide shut, I shove her against the wall with my lips and slip my hand beneath her panties. She’s already soaking wet when I thrust my fingers into her pussy.
“Let me make one thing clear,” I say as she gasps my name. I keep thrusting while working my thumb over her clit as we ascend the building, on a time limit before we return to Tyler. “I find it hot that you’re territorial, but my eyes will only ever be on you. Tell me you understand.”
Her eyelids fall shut and her head tilts back, enjoying the moment too much to answer.
My hand works harder, giving her what she needs. “Tell me you understand, Harper.”
“Yes,” she pants, breathless as her orgasm clamps around my fingers. “Yes, Felix.”
An orgasm achieved in record time. She’s so beautiful, with flushed cheeks and hazy eyes. I want Tyler to see her like this. I hate that I’m keeping the secret of me and Harper from him. If she could just give in to her desires, let go of the fear and shame, I know she’d love having him here right now, the two of us pleasing her together.
The elevatordingsas we arrive at our floor. I pull my fingers free and suck them clean, achingly hard in my pants.
