They collapsed on the bed together as they both still trembled, and he kissed her shoulders before easing away from her and rolling onto his back. She surprised him by straddling him and leaning down to kiss him hard.
“You don’t kiss me enough when you fuck me,” she breathed when she pulled away.
He brushed her hair away from her face and watched as it fell again. “I’ll have to keep that in mind, lover,” he murmured.
“Are you sure you have to leave?” she said after a long pause.
He grimaced. “I wish I didn’t, but it’s important. Especially if we’re going to live here in Vegas.”
She nodded and snuggled closer to him.
“I suppose we should stop being rude to our guests,” he said a few minutes later as he stood and pulled her with him. “Come with me.”
He led her to the bathroom where he gently washed her back in the shower and rinsed the sex from both of them. Outside the shower, he stood her in front of the mirror and rummaged under the bathroom counter until he found the first aid kit with antibiotic ointment. Rylee looked away from the mirror as he tended to the scratches on her back. He lifted his clean hand and moved her head, so she was watching again.
“Watch me, Rylee. Watch and know that I’ll always take care of you. Even when I’m not with you, I’m taking care of you.”
She bit her lip and gave him a tentative nod. He pressed a kiss to her shoulder and straightened when he was done with her back.
As they were dressing, he checked his phone and frowned at the missed calls. “Would you mind terribly if I make a couple more calls? I promise not to leave you alone the rest of the night.”
Rylee gave him a bright smile. “That’s fine. Just come rescue me soon or Carla is going to have me doing shots and standing on the kitchen table.”
Memphis laughed. “As much as I would love to see that, I’m sure you can stand your ground until I get there.”
He gave her a tender kiss and patted her ass as they left the bedroom. She walked downstairs to find the giggling women, and he retreated to his office where he picked up Andrew’s tablet and began to go through it again while he waited for Jeremy to call him back.
The things he’d already found earlier in the day had prompted him to decide to head back to Arizona and start cleaning house in his company. There were several people he was going to fire and even more who were going to be put on notice that their jobs were in danger if they didn’t cooperate with his internal investigation.
His phone buzzed again, and he answered on the first ring.
“You really have to get your head out of the clouds and focus on important things, Memphis,” Jeremy said, sounding surlier than usual.
“Well hello to you too, Jeremy. What are you talking about?”
“The girl, Memphis. She’s throwing you off your game, and if you’re not careful, she’s going to ruin everything.”
He furrowed his brow. “What does that even mean?”
“I’ve been trying to call you for an hour.”
“Jesus, Jeremy, calm down. I’m here now. I took a break because I’ve been at this all damn day. What is so urgent?”
“The Arizona district attorney is considering filing charges against more than just Andrew. They’ve got their eye on you and two other people on your executive team.”
Memphis closed his eyes. “Is it safe for me to go back tomorrow?”
“Safe? It’s damn well recommended. You need to be there to fight this thing off. And you need to leave Rylee behind.”
“I’m starting to think you don’t like my girlfriend, Jeremy.”
“Girlfriend? You barely know her and you’re asking me to transfer assets into her name and change your will for her. It’s a little concerning, man.”
“It’s a good thing I’m not paying you for your concern about my love life. Rylee is going to be my wife. I won’t hear anything else from you about this. Just do what I need you to do, please. I’ll be on the plane by six in the morning. I trust you’re coming with me?”
Jeremy sighed. “Yes. I’m coming with you. Just because I don’t agree with your choices doesn’t mean I’m abandoning you or that I won’t do what you’re asking. I just want it on record that I’m doing it under protest.”
Memphis laughed. “So noted. Was the DA the only thing you called to talk about?”
