Clayton grabs the files he entered with before coming back to settle in the accent chair across from us. The wolfish grin on his face causes my mind to run off with questions all over again.
I shift in my seat while staring at this overly attractive man. I don’t miss that his eyes seem to be devouring me as well, causing me to fidget in my seat some more. He smirks to himself.
“Okay, Chloe and Sidney,” he purrs out my name as he locks eyes with me. “I want to share with you why I asked you to meet me tonight.”
He hands over the files. One to Chloe and one to myself. Chloe opens hers first and her reaction causes me to pause.
“Oh, fuck yeah,” she purrs.
I take in the mischievous look in her eyes and groan. I open my own file and scan the first page. My mouth hits the floor. My eyes snap up to Clayton’s as I hiss.
“The fuck!”
Clayton
I lick my lips, as that fire blazes from every single one of her pores. I’ve wanted Sidney James for a very, very, long time. I’ve watched and waited. I’ve bided my time.
Then, when I was ready to stake my claim, that fucking case came out of nowhere. I don’t like being blindsided. When Vault came to me with Sidney’s name in his mouth, I was furious.
I knew they would come for her eventually. She’s too good at what she does, but I didn’t think they’d go that route. What happened to Sidney should’ve never happened on my watch.
After some digging, I found out Sidney and I may have some mutual enemies. Enemies, she’s not even aware she has. As a matter of fact, I’m positive she has no clue she has this enemy I’ve homed in on.
This lack of knowledge is what’s going to ensure I get what I want. Sidney and I need each other. She doesn’t know it, but I’m the source of her problems. Or at least one of them.
I had planned to step in sooner, but this woman is very interesting to watch. I thought I would be able to swoop in as her knight in shining armor. Surely, she would need me.
However, she never did. Her assets were frozen, she lost her job and her stellar reputation, but she has moved around for a year and almost six months as if she hadn’t had a care in the world. I found that fascinating, which led me to look even deeper into Ms. Sidney James, a.k.a. Azure Kiss.
Yes, Ms. Kiss has been writing her way to the security I thought I would be able to offer. She hasn’t needed anyone because she’s been exploring a whole new world. However, the cat is out of the bag.
They’re coming for my naughty girl. Someone needs to cover their ass and they have a hard-on to do it with Sidney’s pretty brown derriere on full display. That’s a big mistake on their behalf. The only one who will have that ass on display will be me and not for the world to see.
Oh, the plans I have.
I want to know if my dear Sidney writes from experience or pure desire to experience the dirty things she dreams up. My lips curl into a smile. From the look on her face, I do believe it’s the latter.
I settle back in my seat, resting one arm across the back of the chair while bringing my drink to my lips with the other hand. I’m in no rush to respond to Sidney’s little outburst. I’m more than amused by Chloe’s response.
I have my reasons for inviting Chloe along tonight. It was already my understanding that she would be the easier sell. I shouldn’t have been surprised at the request for her presence.
My brother has a thing for redheads. Chloe will just be the first brown-skinned redhead I’ve ever seen him with. I run my hand through my own dark-amber locks.
When I speak, it’s slow, drawing in my prey. “Is there a problem with the number?” I ask, lifting a brow.
My eyes travel down the length of Sidney’s body. I can’t wait to unwrap her with my hands. My eyes will do for now, just for now.
“Excuse me,” she hisses.
“Is the number not to your liking? I thought it was a reasonable sum,” I reply.
“Do I look like some type of fucking prostitute to you?” she says through tight lips.
“No, you do not. However, I will stop you right there.” I slide forward in my seat and pin her with a glare. “Watch your mouth, Sidney. I will not tolerate disrespect. Talk to me, tell me what’s wrong. How can I make this better for you?”
“This…what the hell is this?” She snarls and tosses the file onto the table before her.
She folds her arms across her chest, pushing those luscious breasts together in an appetizing way. My jaw tightens as she continues to use language I will not stand for. I already knew I would have some taming to do with this one.
