He turned to look at me, and the crazed gleam in his eyes eased some. “You wanted time. I gave you all I can manage before going insane.”
“It’s not even been twenty-four hours,” I pointed out.
“Exactly,” he replied.
“I can’t breathe,” Wallace gasped.
Liam turned back to the man he was strangling with his own shirt. “This is what’s going to happen. Your security is currently unavailable. In fact, you’ll be needing to hire new ones. The ones you had left with some of my men to have a few drinks. As for your office staff, none of them have called the police, nor will they say anything to anyone about this. If you fire one of them for it, you’ll go missing.”
“You can’t do that,” he rasped.
Liam slammed his head against the wall again. “I didn’t say you could talk,” he said, sounding annoyed. “I can do it, and I did. Now, I’m going to let my woman get her things, and then she’s walking out the door with me. Do you understand?”
Wallace glared over at me. He felt like he was losing, and I knew he’d retaliate.
“You’ll regret this,” he spit.
“Dumb fucker,” Liam growled, then planted his fist across his jaw.
Wallace’s head slumped forward, and Liam let go of him. His body crumpled to the floor.
“Oh my God,” I whispered.
“He’s not dead,” Liam said, moving over to me.
I looked from the heap on my floor up to Liam. He bent down and covered my mouth with his. The hard warmth of his lips and tickle of his beard was like waking up from a bad dream and realizing it wasn’t real. His tongue slid over my bottom lip, and I opened for him. Grabbing his arms, I went up on my tiptoes, desperate to taste more.
In the distance, I heard someone clear their throat, but I didn’t care. All I wanted was to continue savoring this.
“Could you move it outside, Liam? It’ll be less of a mess to handle if we leave now,” a man’s voice said.
Liam groaned, pulling back from me, his eyes locked on mine. “Yeah,” he replied in a gruff voice, not looking away from me.
“Come with me,” he said as his hands gripped my hips.
With Wallace on the floor, unconscious, I knew I couldn’t stay here.
I nodded. “My purse,” I told him.
He let go of me and went to take it from my desk, then came back, sliding his arm around me. I saw the massive man standing at the door. I recognized him. He’d been in Liam’s office that day at the club. When the Mafia was there.
Liam had brought the Mafia here?
I blinked up at him as he glanced over at Wallace, then back at Liam.
“Tell me you didn’t kill him,” the large man said.
“No, but he wouldn’t shut up,” Liam replied.
The man nodded, as if that made complete sense. “We will finish up here,” the man told him.
Liam led me through a completely deserted office and to the elevators. I scanned the area, looking for someone, but I only saw another familiar man. This was the one who had come out of Liam’s office to hurry him up after he took me out in the hallway because I’d interrupted their meeting. He didn’t appear frightening. He was more of a head turner in a pretty-boy way. Not like Liam.
The man smirked at me as if he had read my thoughts. A sadistic glint in his eyes made me stiffen.
“It’s fine,” Liam said, pulling me closer to his side. “He’s a psycho bastard, but he’s with us.”
I nodded and leaned against Liam until we were safely in the elevator, going down.
