My sexy detective would still be suspicious about my criminal side, but she was smart enough to know I wasn’t going to just pour all my secrets out to a stranger. For despite our attraction and the wonderful sex we’d had, that was what we were. Strangers. At least for now.

With dinner finished, we moved to the sofa again, and I listened intently as Eilidh reciprocated with her own information. I nodded now and then in encouragement while she told me everything she’d learned about her dad’s murder and the corruption in her department, which confirmed she’d been investigating her colleagues along with Mathieson.

As Little Miss Red talked, I didn’t let on that I knew about any of it, as I wanted to be sure she wasn’t holding anything back. She wouldn’t tell me everything unless she trusted me enough, so I was over the moon when she did. Obviously, allowing her to see my upset over Krissa had been the right move. I mentally high-fived myself. It looked like I had step 2 – gain her trust, well underway.

However, the thought made me feel guilty about holding a huge part of my life back from her, but it was too soon. I’d let Eilidh know everything about me when the time was right. Hopefully that wouldn’t be too far in the future, because I longed to come clean and have her accept me for who I was.

Patience! I reminded myself. My family’s safety had to come before my own needs. I was pretty sure she had a good idea who I was anyhow, but I wouldn’t confirm it. Not yet.

Finally, after we had discussed everything, she stood to leave.

“I’ll send copies of all of my files to you when I get home so you and Marko can look at them,” she said.

We arranged to meet again tomorrow when she’d finished work to discuss our next move. Then it was time to say goodbye.

“Are you sure you wouldn’t rather stay?” I asked, pulling her into my arms and nuzzling her neck.

“No. I’d better get home,” she sighed, the reluctance in her voice clear.

“I have an early start and need to copy those files before I grab some sleep. It’s difficult enough to get through a shift with those men as it is, without adding exhaustion into the mix.”

The thought of her anywhere near them made my stomach clench with worry and I tightened my grip on her, not wanting to let her go. However, I had to.

“Alright, but be careful and if you need me, call me,” I said.

I had already given her my phone number, just in case.

She nodded, and I brushed her lips lightly with mine. She gave me a tight squeeze around the waist again and I pulled my head back, laughing.

“Tracking me again?” I asked with a chuckle.

She chuckled back and shook her head.

“Nope, you’re safe. It’s in my bag,” she grinned.

“Good. You don’t need to track me, Little Miss Red, because I assure you I’m not going anywhere,” I said but held back from stating, “because you’re mine now.” I had a feeling it was just too soon for that. My plan of seduction was going well. I didn’t want to spoil things now.

Finally, we pulled apart, and I walked her to the lift. As the door closed, she blew me a kiss, and I grinned. As soon as she was gone, I rang Vlad so he would follow her home and ensure she got there safely.

Back in my suite, I sat on the sofa and went over the evening in my mind.

Little Miss Red impressed me more each time we met. Every little thing I found out about her made me even more enamoured and yet there was still so much to learn. I looked forward to becoming more acquainted with every part of her, physically and mentally. Especially physically. I smirked as the semi hard cock I’d had all night jerked in agreement as it always did when I had such thoughts. Tomorrow couldn’t come soon enough.

Holding back from ravishing her the way I’d longed to do had been a bloody arduous task, but Eilidh’s actions showed me it was worth it. I was sure Little Miss Red craved me as much as I did her. Step 3 was in the bag!

Of course, I might think I was halfway through the steps in my plan of seduction already, but that didn’t mean I didn’t still need to work to secure each step. It was time to up my game.

Smiling, I rang the reception and ordered flowers.

CHAPTER 17

EILIDH

STILL THAT NIGHT – ALONE AND SCARED

As the lift closed, I gave Miki a little wave and blew him a kiss. God, the man was gorgeous and just one glance from him had my pussy clenching in anticipation.

It was ridiculous how my body craved him. And not just my body, my mind, too. He really was the sexiest man I’d ever encountered, and my fingers had itched to touch him all night. How the heck I’d kept my hands to myself I’d never know. It was definitely a testament to a strength of will I hadn’t realised I had.
