“Would you like me to move?”

Pointing it out only made me notice how good he smelled, fresh out of the shower, his hair still damp.But I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of letting him know just how badly my body still craved him even now.

“Do what you want,” I said, not even looking his way. As I reached the end of the document, I tapped the signature box, signed it, and handed Lachlan the tablet.

He reached for it, making sure his fingers brushed against mine before I let go.

“Thank you.”

His stare was so penetrating that I had to look away.

Jesus.And he wondered why I couldn’t help but focus on him.

I cleared my throat and sat as far back from him as my chair would allow. “Now what? We play twenty questions and you answer everything?”

“Onlytwenty questions?”

“To start with.”

“Ah, I see.”

“First question, where am I?”

“In one of the penthouses reserved for members of our private organization.”

I blinked, surprised he’d answered so freely. “What private organization?”

“One that’s private unless you’re a member.”

“And you’re a member?”

He arched a brow.

“Oh. You’re not just a member, are you? You’re high up in this organization.”

“Listen, do you want to sit in here all day and ask me questions? Or would you rather get out of this room, stretch your legs, and take a look around?”

He couldn’t have offered a more enticing distraction. I was actually going to see what was on the other side of the locked door?

Granted, it was the most luxurious cage I could have been locked inside of, but still, to finally know what was on the other side?Withouta blindfold?

“So you’re really going to let me out of here?”

“Well, I can’t keep you locked up in here for the week.”

“Aweek?”

“Yes. That’s the time frame Mick gave for when we can expect the next shipment of drugs.”

“Yeah, but you don’t?—”

“Think it’s safe for you to return to your apartment before that time? No, I don’t.”

“I guess I didn’t think of it like that. But you’re right.”

“I know.”

I smirked, immediately reminded of the first time I met him in the coffee shop.
