“So, you think maybe he was looking out for me and was maybe playing Sasha?”

I shrugged. “It looks that way.”

“Why don’t you ask him?”

I smiled darkly. “I plan to, but I want a little more time.”

She nodded and seemed to accept that answer.

“Now, did you eat dinner?”

“I’m not hungry.”

“I didn’t ask if you were, I asked if you ate.” I snagged the tablet from the counter and ordered some food from the kitchen.

“Grim?”

I turned and found her with a puzzled expression.

“When you learned Simon was good friends with Kurt, why didn’t you kill Simon too?”

“The same reason I didn’t act when I found out he was on the video. I want to watch him. The guy puzzles me, and I don’t like puzzles. I need to see what he’s really about. What side he’s on.” She nodded like she was deep in thought. “You seem to know Simon pretty well. You went to his office twice in one week.”

She squinted at me. “Are you jealous?”

“I’m protective,” I corrected.

“Yes, I am carrying your child.”

I ditched my tie and unbuttoned the collar of my shirt. “I didn’t need you pregnant to become protective of you.” I eyedher. “I’m protective because you’re mine. Our baby is just a jumpstart to our life together.” I leaned down to where she sat on the couch and caught her lips with mine. “Now, answer my question,” I ordered.

“I don’t see any red flags. He shared some things with me. I think he’s genuinely pleased Dad is dead.”

“Yeah, him and everyone else.” I lifted her legs, sat, and rested them over my lap. I rubbed her thighs, enjoying how smooth her skin was. I kneaded her muscles and watched her eyes flutter closed. I slid my fingers down to her ankles and slipped her shoes off.

“That feels good,” she moaned, and I studied her sexy features. Her long lashes, her pink lips, and her slender neck called to my body. When she brushed her hair back, I caught sight of her ring. I hadn’t noticed it until then.

“This makes me happy.” I stroked her finger.

“I figured it was time. Dad’s gone, and Mom’s…” She looked away for a moment. “Your family knows, so…”

I spun the ring around her finger and thought about how a tiny piece of gold and a diamond could symbolize so much. I went back to rubbing.

“What did you discover while watching him?” She kept her eyes closed and shifted to get more comfortable.

“He watches you the way I do.”

“And what way is that?”

I slid my hand up under her dress and rubbed between her legs. A smile broke across her lips. “You’re the only one I can focus on in a room,” I whispered. “Your body calls to me, ignites every part of my being, and my only reprieve,” I slipped a finger inside her, and she granted me a helpless whimper, “is to be inside you.” I shifted so I was gently lying over her with one foot on the ground to stabilize me. Two more fingers were added, and her eyes opened and locked onto mine. “And if I ever,” Iskimmed her jaw with my lips and watched her climb toward her bliss, “found out he acted on those thoughts,” I kissed up to her ear, “I’d rip him in two,” I whispered harshly.

“Keep going,” she breathed as her cheeks pinkened.

“But Sonny’d be first.” I fed her desire for my dark side. “I’d chain him to a chair, gag him, and let him watch me take you over and over again, then, when he’s wound up to the point of pain, I’d slice his sorry excuse of a dick clean off.”

She cried out and climaxed. She shook as she rode it and dug her nails into my shoulder. I dove down and sucked on her neck to increase her ride.

The bell from the elevator told me we were about to have company. I pulled my fingers out, slid a blanket over her limp body, and greeted the bellman as he pushed his cart out.
