Chapter Six
Drake closed and lockedthe door after them and pulled her over to the office chair.He sat and pulled her down onto his lap.
He tilted her head up.“How are you holding up, little sub?”
Camila nodded.“Good.It seems whenever they start getting nasty, someone always interrupts them.”She grinned.“You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?”
He used his thumb to caress her bottom lip.“There is nothing I won’t do for you, love.And I’ll keep you safe because I can’t imagine my life without you.”
She raised her hand and pressed it against his cheek.“I feel the same way.I wouldn’t want to go on if I lost you.”
“Don’t say that.”
“You’ve said the same thing to me,” she reminded him.
He pressed a kiss to her lips and then grinned.“That’s different.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m the man and the dom.”
She laughed.“That excuse still doesn’t work.”
“Oh, well, I had to try.Are you ready to call Jeremiah?”
She nodded.“Yes.I’m anxious to hear about the papers.”
Drake reached forward and pushed a few buttons.She could hear the ringing because he put them on speaker.
“Hey, I’m glad you called me back,” Jeremiah said.
“I have Camila here with me,” Drake said.
Jeremiah paused for a moment.“Are you okay with her hearing this?”
She looked up at him and nodded.
“Yes.She deserves to listen.”
“All right.Every paper they gave you is bogus,” Jeremiah said.“Camila got her uncle’s whole estate.I called the lawyer in charge of it.I think he’s a good guy.He didn’t know what the sisters were up to, and he doesn’t think any of them are good people.The mother and father wanted all the papers, but Mr.Wilson, the other lawyer, said they had to go directly to Camila.”
“Can you have him send the papers to you?”
“Already on it.”Jeremiah chuckled.“I think the lawyer is having too much fun messing with them.”
“What should we do with the bogus papers?”Drake asked.
“It depends on how you want it to play out.Do you want them to leave with some hope or kick them out on their asses?”
“I’ll talk with Camila,” he said and kissed her forehead.
“Fine.If there is anything else you need from me, just call,” Jeremiah said.“I’ll get back with you when I receive her uncle’s will.”
Drake pulled her tighter against his body.“Thank you.”He reached forward and pushed the button to hang up, then concentrated on her.
“What are your thoughts?”he asked.
