Page 10 of Room Twenty-Four: Under Their Hands

“I-I need to think about this.”

He nods over at a stunned Alexia. “She knows how to get you in if you change your mind. We’ll be there tomorrow. Don’t make me chase you, baby. I will be back if you don’t come.”

Then his lips slam onto mine. No soft touches or teases here. His mouth claims mine, his lips hard and tantalizing. His tongue darts inside my mouth, whirling and dancing with mine as I groan and wrap my arms around his neck, my fingers tangling in the longer hairs at the nape of his neck.

I feel swallowed whole, my body rioting for his taste and touch. For each slide of his fingers along my side, his tongue along the side of my mouth and along my tongue and teeth. I pant and suck in a sharp breath as he sets his hands on my shoulder and pushes me away gently.

I gasp for breath, my fingers touching my swollen lips, feeling his firm lips still on them, tasting him on me.

He grins. “Come tomorrow night or I’ll hunt your sweet ass down, baby girl.”

Then he walks out of the room and I fall to the wall, my head bumping it as I slide down the cool surface. Alexia stares at me, wide-eyed.

“What the hell was that?” I ask, stunned.

“I think that was a very sexy man who seems to want to fuck you, boss. And if I was you, I’d take him up on it.”

Shaking my head, I stand up and walk on shaky legs into my office, closing the door softly behind me.

“You can run but you can’t hide, boss.” I hear Alexia’s laugh through the closed door and groan, staggering over to my desk.

My body still aches to let that man do whatever the hell he wanted to me.

“He didn’t even tell me his name,” I mutter under my breath and push all of those hot and sexy feelings away, focusing on the public offering and checking the numbers, trying to avoid any thoughts of sexy man and clubs made for sin.

I don’t have time for that kind of shit.

CHAPTER6

Bruno

“Are you kidding me? You didn’t even give her your name? What kind of nut are you?”

Seth groans and tugs at his hair. “You didn’t see her. Some dickhead was pushing her into a wall and being a jackass. I lost my temper and then she looked at me and I was so close to her that my brain just quit working. She’s a fucking goddess.”

“You are a pussy,” I growl under my breath. “How is she going to know where to come?”

“Her friend goes to Club Sin.”

“Really?” I tilt my head trying to remember what she looked like. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen her around there.”

“She might be with somebody and they don’t like watchers. Unlike you,” he grunts.

“I only like watchers sometimes. And with that woman I think I might turn into a greedy, possessive bastard.”

Seth looks like he’s about to fucking lose his mind. He’s pacing back and forth around the office. His steps are long and quick.

“I don’t want to scare her but I’m about six seconds from going over to that office and throwing her pretty ass over my shoulder.”

“Jesus. I’m the one that’s always out of control and crazy. You’re not supposed to be nuts. That’s my job.”

His lips flatten into a thin line. Then his eyes close. “You didn’t taste her. She’s so sweet and spicy. Like the perfect wine.”

“On another topic, did you find anything out about the street thefts?”

He shakes his head. “No. What about you? Have we seen anything with the guy we’ve been tailing?”

“Nope. He acts and looks like he’s clean but there’s still something bothering me about him. I don’t know what it is but it’s pissing me off. I feel like he’s involved somehow.”
