“Why are you here?” She got up without another word to me.

“Business,” I told her.

She looked me up and down again. “Stay out of my way, and I’ll stay out of yours,” she said before running to the window that led to the basement—the one I was going to go in through.

She was leaning against a wall, trying to look down the hall, when I made my way in.

“We have two minutes to make our way upstairs and rejoin the party before the outside cameras come back on,” I whispered.

When she turned to look at me, I could see apprehension all over her face. She wanted to trust me but didn’t know how.

“In the catacombs is where he takes his friends to see his girls,” she said sadly.

“I know,” I told her. It was hard to pin anything down on Yates, and he had people in his pockets. He was pretty much untouchable.

“We can go in through the laundry room chute,” I suggested, having studied the blueprints.

Daphne ignored me. She removed her shirt, revealing a red satin dress. She then took off her trousers, staying only in her black high-heel boots.

Yeah, there was no denying that I wanted her. Sometimes we don’t have to know people for a long time to realize they are yours. That they are the missing piece to complete you. She knew who I was and wasn’t scared. I knew how fucked-up she was, and it didn’t bother me. Broken pieces can be completed, and she was the match to mine.

I grabbed her hips and pulled her back to me, letting her feel my hard-on. “Are you going to fuck your way up?”

She didn’t move at all. Her hand came up, wrapping around my neck. “Do you want to watch me fuck them?”

I growled, my hand coming between her legs, cupping her pussy. “Deny it all you want, baby, but we both know I own this.”

Daphne brought her elbow back and hit my ribs. I let her go and followed behind her, aware there were going to be guards.

Two sets of doors separated us from the party. Our two-minute window was running out. I was able to get this feed hacked up. I didn’t want to alert them, just make it seem like a technical difficulty.

“Throw me against the door and pretend to fuck me,” Daphne said.

She didn’t have to tell me twice. I wrapped her hair in my hand and threw her face-first to the door while my hand came to her pussy. My mouth bit her earlobe just as the guard opened it to see what was going on.

“You can’t be in here. How did you get past this point?”

“Sorry. About ten minutes ago there was a scuffle in the front, and no one was here, so we figured why not.” Daphne threw him a smile; the fucker looked dazzled. She walked forward, holding on to my hand, and when we passed the guard, she turned to wink at him.

“Maybe when you’re not on the job, you can have fun with us.” Her sultry tone had my cock rock hard. I pinched her side in warning. I would never fucking share her.

The guard just growled at us to get to the main part of the house. As soon as we weren’t within earshot, I pushed her against the wall, my knee coming between her legs.

“There was a scuffle?” I deadpanned, knowing damn well she had probably orchestrated it.

“What can I say? I’m just lucky.”

She was irritating the shit out of me, but I couldn’t pinpoint why. I think it was the blasé tone with which she just put everything under the rug.

“The only lucky day in your life is when you ran into me.” I gripped her chin, and she got pissed. I didn’t care. I held her still and forced her to kiss me. Her lips stayed closed and unmoving, and I got a thrill in trying to make her submit to me. I slid my hand down from her chin to her throat, choking her. Her gray eyes widened, but she ultimately opened her mouth. She tasted like lies, and I lapped them up.

“I don’t think you hate me as much as you think,” I smirked at her.

She tried to push me away. “Don’t flatter yourself.”

I grinned at her and brought my hand down to her mound and inserted two fingers in her wet heat. As soon as I put them in, I took them out, taking a step back.

Daphne was too restrained to pant, but her wolf eyes went wide and darkened, and I knew it was lust reflected in them. She watched as I brought my two digits into my mouth. “Taste like this doesn’t lie, Petal.” Daphne kept glaring my way. This time I cupped her face gently. “Do you need my help for whatever you need to do?”
