“Flying solo again?”
Ash’s comment has me looking up from where I’m working on the villa patio in a lounge chair.
I shift my legs to one side, and Ash drops onto the end.
“It’s been a week.” My fingers flex on my notebook, and I set it on the table next to the lounger. “Harrison barely eats. Toro won’t say where they go. Natalia’s worried.”
Ash sighs, scratching his chin. “He’s single-minded. Especially when he thinks you’re being threatened. He’s probably tearing his hair out at the thought of you playing La Mer.”
“Harrison’s turning into someone I barely know.” I stroke the bangle on my wrist and stare at the crown beneath, emotions clashing in my chest.
I can’t kick my excitement to play there. I’ve been thinking about my set every second. My publicist has been busy since I confirmed the offer, working with La Mer’s team on graphics and promotions. I told Callie I’m about to play the biggest gig of my career, leaving out the part about Mischa.
I want the man to be brought to justice—more than ever after seeing that poor woman die.
But this performance isn’t about Mischa. It’s everything I’ve worked for, and I’m not going to let him ruin my chance to do what I love.
I’m over letting men with their own agendas shape my life.
“Harry’s lost everyone who mattered to him,” Ash says.
“He hasn’t. You’re here. Leni’s here. Natalia and Toro and me.” I shake my head. “Today he’s in London doing God knows what. Secret meetings.”
Ash cocks a brow. “You’re not…” His gaze flicks to his brother’s bedroom window. “If my brother’s not delivering, the offer always stands.”
His slow smile has me rolling my eyes.
“That’s what Beck says. You’re into girls too?”
Ash shifts off the chair. “Nah, not really. I dated a couple. But this boy in boarding school made it perfectly clear what I want.”
“Dicks.”
“So many dicks, Raegan.” His blue eyes dance. “Do you know what you can do with a perfect dick?”
“I have a few ideas.”
Last night, I stopped by Harrison’s office after one in the morning.
I told him, “I’ll be in bed if you want to join me.”
His eyes swept over me, glassy and unfocused.
“If you don’t, I’ll take care of myself.”
In my bedroom, I undressed, then waited ten minutes before I started going through with it, and I didn’t hold back. Seconds after the first moan drifted from my lips, the door opened wide. He dragged off his shirt before kneeling between my thighs, yanking my ankles wide, and pinning me to the bed.
“Impatient woman,” he murmured as his mouth lowered toward my hips.
Then all my words were gone as his tongue and lips wreaked sweet havoc on my body.
But immediately after we finished, he crept back down the hall to his office to wage war on a man who isn’t under our roof but feels as if he’s in every inch of our lives.
I force my attention back to Ash. “How’s your guy?”
They’ve been staying together at the hotel.
