I shook my head. “I would never think that. I can give you remote access too so you can look at it tonight if you get a chance. I’d appreciate the help. Just when I think I’m at the bottom, I find something else. So many twists and turns.” I scribbled down my username and passwords and gave them to her.
“One way or another we’ll fix this and make everything right.” She took the piece of paper, and with a small wave went back to her office.
I left the building and shoved the email from my thoughts. Getting myself in a tizzy over Sloane and her childish games were pointless. She would soon tire of me and would move on to harassing someone else she deemed beneath her.
By the time I reached my apartment, the only thing I wanted to do was video call Kane and hear his voice. If I had my way, I’d be with him twenty-four-seven.
Taped to my apartment door was a white envelope with the word Whore printed on the outside. Every hair on my body stood on end. This was beyond a joke. Sloane needed to back the fuck off. I didn’t deserve her invading my personal space, and as much as I hated the thought of confronting her, I would have to.
I pulled the envelope off the door and against my better judgment, opened it.
I know where you live, bitch. Watch your back.
I’d confront her as soon as I got into the office tomorrow. I wouldn’t mention it to Kane because I didn’t want to run to him with every silly little thing that happened in my life. I needed to show him and prove to myself that I was an adult who didn’t cower or cry at every little upset.
My bad luck with men had moved on to bad luck with work colleagues. Funny, for the past few weeks I hadn’t been as superstitious as I had been and had even walked under a few ladders. Maybe throwing caution to the wind had been a mistake. Tonight, I would do a few good luck rituals and smudge my apartment. I’d also double bolt the front door and check that all the windows were closed and the locked.
I crumpled the note and shoved it deep in my bag along with the other bits of junk. Once inside my apartment, I shrugged off my coat and threw it over a chair.
Only one person could help me alleviate some of the stress from my shitty day. I glanced at the time on my phone. It was seven my time, which meant it was 12 AM in London.
I needed to hear Kane’s sexy voice and see his beautiful face and maybe other parts of his anatomy.
I picked up my iPad and tapped his name. The call connected almost immediately.
His face filled the screen, and my heart skipped a beat.
“Hey, you,” I said with a smile, “How’s London?”
“I’m not in London.”
There was a knock on my door, and I gave a delighted squeal.
“You’re here? No way.”
“I needed to see you. As soon as my meeting was over, I flew home.”
“I guess being a billionaire with a private jet has its perks,” I said and then laughed. “I missed you so much.”
“Open your front door and show me how much,” he ordered.
I could hardly believe he was outside my apartment. I threw my iPad onto the sofa and rushed to the door where I yanked it open.
Standing there with a full day’s stubble on his chin was the man I was quickly falling in love with. His eyes were a little bloodshot and tiredness lined his face, but he’d never looked sexier.
With a squeak, I jumped into his arms and wrapped my legs around his waist, then kissed him with everything I had. “Take me,” I whispered against his lips. “Take me against the wall. On the floor. In the kitchen. Take me.”
He broke our kiss and pressed his forehead against mine. “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I’m in so much trouble with you.”
Ignoring my plea for him to take me against the wall, he carried me into my apartment, and I kicked the door closed with my foot.
He turned and slammed me against the front door, pressing his hard body against mine, and I kissed him like a starving woman. Kissed him like I needed his breath to live.
“I’m going to fuck you right here, right now” he growled. “I want to show you how much I missed you.”
“You can fuck me any way you want anywhere you want.”
“I knew I picked the right girl when I picked you,” he said, biting my neck. “I’ve dreamed of fucking you up against a door. Would you like that, pet? Would you like to feel my cock in your pussy as you cry out and your neighbors hear?” He nibbled on my earlobe and ran his teeth up and down the column of my neck.
