Mason
“Drake’s gone for good.” Eli tells me sitting across from me in my office. “He’s packed and moved home. After wetalkedto him, I have no doubt he won’t be back.”
“You’re sure?”
“No one can ever be one hundred percent, Mr. Dean, but from my years of experience, I think he’s gone for good.”
“Perfect. What about this Greg.”
“After looking into him thoroughly, I don’t see any cause for concern. He may be a pain in her ass for a while, but I don’t see a threat. It’s been a week plus and he hasn’t made any contact with Aiden. Ourtalkafter escorting him out of the restaurant, seemed to do the trick.”
“I like yourtalks.”
“It’s why you pay me the big bucks.” He smirks something he doesn’t do often.
“All in all, sounds good. Keep me updated if anything changes.”
“Absolutely.” He leaves and a weight comes off my shoulders. Aiden is safe and wills stay that way.
Work is never ending.
When a knock comes to my door, I call out for them to enter and don’t look up right away because the finishing touches on this contract are just about ironed out.
The smell hits me and my head pops up. Elizabeth stands in front of my desk wearing a tight as hell black dress, her hair curled all up and face done up like she’s going out clubbing.
She smiles seductively and it isn’t a turn on in the least. Years it’s been since her and I were together and she still acts as if I want her. We were kids exploring, nothing has happened since. Ever.
“Elizabeth, can I help you with something?”
Her smile widens. “I want your cock in my mouth.”
My brows raise. “That’s not going to happen and it’s completely unprofessional.”
“You like to be unprofessional. I hear you took that woman here in your office. I came to erase her memory.”
She’s lost her damn mind.
“You need to leave my office. Now.” I warn as she leans over my desk, her breasts practically falling out of her top.
“You don’t want me to. You love me Mason.”
“No, I don’t.” I counter just as the door swings open.
“Mason, I…” Aiden’s words are cut off and as I peer around Elizabeth, I watch as hurt and pain cross over Aiden’s features. She’s already had one asshole cheat on her so this can’t look good.
I rise from my chair and move around the desk. Aiden’s eyes meet mine and I want to get rid of the pain. Make it disappear forever.
“Aiden.” I start, but she shakes her head and her eyes change and turn to Elizabeth.
“You didn’t get the message the other night.” She says calmly and I brace wondering what’s going to happen next.
“He doesn’t want you. Look at you!” Elizabeth fires back and I move to Aiden’s side. She doesn’t shrug me away, but she doesn’t let me get a word in edge wise either.
“Yes, please look at me. Look at the man next to me. You need to move on. I don’t know maybe with your husband? It’s over. Finished.”
“He wants me.”
