Page 138 of Innocent Intentions

I pull him lower until my lips are brushing his ear.

Then I whisper, in the voice I use to narrate erotic scenes, “Mr. Montclair… don’t you have a meeting to get to?”

“Fuck, Margot!” He groans, not nearly as entertained as I am.

I burst out laughing. “Sorry, baby. You’re the one who has to work.”

I turn to walk toward the couch, but I only get one step before he yanks me back into him.

“That was cruel,” he growls. “You’re going to pay for it later. Using that sexy voice on me…Fuck.”

He swats my ass, gives it a squeeze, then storms out of the room.

Damnit. Now I’m turned on too.

I look around the studio again and smile. I can’t believe he did this.

What did I do to deserve this man?

Maybe this is the universe’s reward for returning his credit card.

Maybe it is true.

He saved me.

If he hadn’t taken me that day, I’d still be targeted. I wouldn’t have the Syndicate protecting me.

And you wouldn’t have this sexy man.

I heard once that when you do good things for others, it’ll come back to you.

Maybe this is what that looks like.

Chapter 58

Matthias

I can’t believe that little minx. Playing me like that right after I gave her the studio. And where the hell did that sexy voice come from?

I’m absolutely taking her up on her offer of those personalized recordings.

Just the thought of her voice purring in my ears, saying filthy things meant only for me, has my cock hardening all over again.

And now I’m sitting in this goddamn meeting with a semi.

Unbelievable.

Honestly, I can’t believe I’m attending this meeting at all. I should be spending every second figuring out how to stop the Bratva from getting anywhere near Margot. This company can survive a few days without me.

But I’m stuck waiting. Waiting for my brothers to dig something up. Waiting until I can be of use.

Helplessness doesn’t suit me.

At least the studio worked out. Not just because it makes Margot happy, but because it gives her something to focus on. Something to keep her occupied.

She doesn’t realize it yet, but she’s on lockdown.

She’s not allowed off the property.
