“Most of them are on lunch, but we have the security team watching them as you asked. The rest of the staff is outside of the house.”
“Good. Keep to the perimeter only.”
“Yes, sir.” I end the call and tuck it into my pants pocket before scooping her up in my arms and carrying her through a secret exit out of my office that leads to our bedroom.
I open the door and step into the main part of the suite. It’s an old mansion with plenty of ways to get from one place to the next without being seen. As soon as we’re in the bedroom portion, I set Aurora on her feet. “The shower is in there. Make sure to scrub that god-awful makeup off your face. You’re too beautiful to have that shit marring your skin.”
“Um…okay.”
“I’m going to get some work done before the party. I’ll be back to check on you in a little bit. Don’t go trying to sneak out. All of my men are on the outside just in case you get any dumb ideas.” I close the distance and add, “Because I’m not ever letting you go. From now on, this will be your home. Do you understand me?”
She nods, but I can see the indecision in her eyes. If she knew how bad I needed her, she’d probably make a run for it. One look at her I was obsessed, one taste of her and no one will be able to pry her away from me. Now that I’ve claimed her, nothing will separate us. I go into my closet and do a quick change. I take a harsh breath and spin on my heel, leaving the room without another word.
There’s more I want to say, but I’m not even sure I can voice it. As I take the steps with quick feet, I ache to turn back around and stay in bed with her all day, but I have a conference call with some parties looking for an investor.
I enter my office and smell her scent with mine all over the room. I breathe it in like a sick twisted fuck. Taking the seat, I pull up to my desk and lean forward and smile to see her pussy juices dried up on the edge. Getting this meeting over fast is a must. I have to be inside Rory until neither of us has anything left. Her svelte body clinging to me as she rode my cock to completion is one fucking sexy sight.
“This is Devlin. I’m ready. Is everyone on the call?”
“Yes,” Brian Dempsey, my CFO, says. They read off a list of names, but my only concern is what they are hoping to get out of my money. The call goes on for almost an hour before I end it. Once everyone is off the call, I dial Brian’s cell and go over the meeting.
“Mr. Devlin, I say we pass on this. The deal isn’t as smooth as I hoped, and the expected ROI is low, and the risk is high.”
“Draft the denial letter, please. I’ll sign off on it Monday.”
“I thought you’d be in today before the party?” he questions.
“No, I’ve had something urgent come up. Besides, it’s the end of the year. Take it easy for a day.
“What? Important? Anything I need to know about?”
“No. I’ll be in on the sixth.” I end the call because I don’t give anyone an explanation for my actions, especially one of my employees. Brian and I have been friends for years, but he has a bad habit when it comes to cocaine. That son of a bitch will be here tonight. Damn, I’m going to have to keep tabs on my woman, or he’s going to try and steal her from me.
Thinking about my woman, the one thing that’s nagging me is that she came here at all. There’s no way that she did this of her own volition. I slam my fist on the desk, anger seething through me. Nothing about her screams unscrupulous. In fact, she came off as scared but interested in me. So damn interested. She came multiple times in my arms, and the way she held onto me as we came down from the high hit me in the chest. The whole situation has fucked my head up.
Rudy must be crazy if he thinks that his sister’s pussy gave him a pass. There’s no way in hell. If he put her up to this…I’ll bury him. Seeing him drive her here told me that my hunch is more than likely correct. She wouldn’t know where to find me even if she’d seen me on the fucking gossip sites. As much as I am happy she’s now in my life, he treated her like chattel. I need to get to the bottom of this.
