He glanced at Stark’s house again, and she sighed before unlocking the door. “Yeah, okay. Install the new lock.”

Stark wasn’t at all surprised to see Rayna standing outside his door when he opened it. Nor was he surprised by the annoyance on her face.

He was surprised by his immediate impulse to pick her up, carry her to his bedroom, and fuck her into the mattress.

“Ms. Abrams,” he said. “How can I help you?”

She glared at him before pushing past him into his house. “What the hell, Stark?”

She wore her usual hoodie and leggings combo, but the bulkiness of her hoodie did nothing to help him forget how perfect her breasts were. He’d touched them last night, but why the fuck hadn’t he at least sucked on her nipples? Now, he’d never get the chance.

“The door cam and new lock are for your safety,” he said.

“Locks,” she said. “Plural. Wallace installed two locks and a deadbolt on my door.”

“Good,” he said. “I told him multiple locks were needed.”

“You’re going overboard,” she said.

“No, I am not. Many people have multiple locks on their doors.”

“I’m not talking about just the locks. Mary from Safety First Security called me to book a time for their technician to install the new security system,” she snapped. “She said, and I quote, ‘Mr. Stark wants it installed as soon as possible.’”

“If you’re not available for the installation, I’ll have Hollis meet the technician at your place for the appointment. Do you have a spare key she can use?”

“One, you are not paying to install a security system at my house, and two, Hollis’s job is not to babysit a technician at my house.”

“Hollis’s job is to do what I ask her to do,” he said, “and yes, I am. This is happening, Ms. Abrams.”

“Oh my God!” Her face turned crimson. “You are the most arrogant, annoying, stubborn son of a bitch I have ever met.”

He grinned. “Thank you.”

“For fuck’s sake… you are not installing a security system at my house, and that’s final.”

She started to push past him, and he slapped his hand against the wall, using his arm to prevent her from leaving. She whirled to face him, her back against the wall and annoyance on her face. “Move, Stark.”

Instead of moving, he placed his other hand on the wall, penning her in as he said, “The security system is not an option.”

“You can’t tell me what to do!” she said.

His gaze dropped to her mouth. Christ, what he wouldn’t give to kiss her again. Just being close to her had him hard as a rock, or maybe it was her sheer outrage with him. He couldn’t deny that riling her up was a huge turn on for him.

He told himself not to, then moved in close anyway, letting his erection brush against her belly. “You didn’t have a problem with me telling you what to do last night, Ms. Abrams.”

She swallowed hard, her pretty brown eyes landing on his mouth. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Fuck, he had to touch her. He had to.

He traced his thumb across her bottom lip, his cock straining at his zipper when her mouth opened, and undeniable desire blazed in her eyes.

Still holding her gaze, he reached for the zipper of her hoodie, pulling it down slowly until he had a view of her perfect breasts. She wore a thin t-shirt beneath the hoodie and no bra, and he traced the hard bud of her nipple through the soft material.

“I told you to come on my cock, and what did you do?” He lightly pinched her nipple before sliding his hand down her flat stomach and slipping it under her leggings.

He traced the waistband of her panties. “Answer me, Ms. Abrams.”

“I came on your cock.” Rayna’s voice was a low moan.
