“I’ll think about it,” I said, already knowing I wasn’t going to be doing that.

He nodded. “Okay. Your turn. Why did you want to meet?”

I pulled the burner phone from my pocket, put in the passcode, and handed it to him. “They texted me this earlier.”

He glanced over it then looked up at me with those beautiful dark-blue eyes. “They think you took the site down or know who did?”

“I think they’re bluffing. They only hired me for the malware portion. They obviously have their own hacks running the site and know damn good and well I can’t take it down without direct access.”

“Yeah, but maybe they thought you put a bug in there to shut it down,” he suggested.

I hadn’t thought of that in my panic. “That’s true, I guess. What should I do?”

He sat back in the chair and stared at me. “Are you scared, Devon?”

That was a loaded question, so I shrugged. “Yes and no? I’m pretty well protected, I don’t even lease the apartment under my real name.”

“Do they know where you live?” he asked.

“I don’t think so. When I gave them the burner phone’s number, it had a New Orleans area code and they asked if I lived here. I told them no, and how stupid that would be to use a burner with the area code where I lived. It was sort of a reverse psychology I’d tried to pull since I was stupid when I activated the phone and forgot to ask for a different area code.” It was true, I still felt foolish about that type of dumb mistake, but there was nothing I could do about it now.

“I think you should come stay at the clubhouse,” he said seriously. “I mean it.”

“What? No way, I don’t need bodyguards. I’m fine. I can take care of myself.” I was acting tough but was secretly thrilled he was concerned about my well-being. I would feel so awkward and out of place there, anyway. I’d seen the women who lived there. They were all gorgeous and I was an ugly freak.

His jaw bunched in annoyance. “Not yet, but I have a feeling these vamps, whoever they are, are going to be downright furious when they realize they aren’t getting their site back. Once they find out the cops are involved, they’re going to look for someone to blame.”

“Why would they blame me, though? I’ve done nothing to make them suspect me—”

I was cut off by Parker standing up and grabbing me by the hand. “Come on.”

I stood but pulled my hand from his. “No. I don’t need protection. I’m—”

Gasping as I was shoved against the door, I couldn’t protest when his lips came crashing down on mine. They were soft, and with his hand gripping the back of my hair, he controlled where my head went. I kissed him back and hoped I was doing it right. I was so rusty that I literally couldn’t remember how to make out with someone. I threw my arms around his neck and groaned when his other hand went protectively around my waist and pulled me flush up against his hard body.

I felt his tongue lick the seam of my lips and I opened up, allowing him access. Soon, both our tongues were dueling as our lips moved against each other’s and then pulled away. Parker turned his head to the other side and kissed me again, his tongue slithering with mine. Pure arousal shot straight to my core, and I wanted him to rip my clothes off and fuck me right here against the door. Bold even for me, I pushed his leather vest off his shoulders and then reached down to his belt buckle as his hand left my waist and traveled up my stomach to my chest. When his fingers brushed my breast under my shirt but over my bra, I whimpered, feeling like I was going to have an orgasm right then.

Parker broke the kiss and stared into my eyes, panting. “Fuck, I want you.”

“I want you, too,” I said, excitement swirling in my stomach. I hadn’t been laid in… I didn’t even know.

But was it just sex I wanted? Yes, I definitely wanted to get some skin-on-skin action and let someone give me an orgasm for once. That toy could only do so much for me.

“Let’s—”

A loud knock cut him off. “You guys done in there? It’s almost closing time,” Theo shouted.

“Yeah, we’re done,” Parker called out, shrugging his vest back up and buckling his belt.

I put the hood back over my head and used my hair to hide my flushed cheeks and swollen lips.

Parker opened the door and I handed Theo the key and a fifty-dollar bill. “Thanks, Theo.”

We left the back room as Theo chuckled knowingly. I wanted to die of embarrassment.

As we reached the parking lot, Parker pointed to his motorcycle. “Get on.”

Now that the lust had cleared, I folded my arms across my chest, “No. I’m going home.”
