“And you deserve to have your nuts kicked,” Ryan muttered, grabbing my wrist and tugging me away from Linc.

“I’m rooming with them,” Court announced.

“No, you’re not.” Ryan shot him down at the same time Linc asked, “Then who’s gonna cuddle with me?”

I shook my head as we approached the front counter. Ryan checked us in with an alias Ash had set up, and handed keys to Linc and Court as we walked to the elevator.

“Anything from Ash?” Court leaned against the mirrored wall as the elevator doors slid shut, his eyes closing. He’d done the bulk of the driving and insisted he was fine whenever Ryan or Linc offered to take over.

Ryan shook his head. “He’s waiting for the time.”

Pandora wasn’t like a normal security vault tucked inside a bank. No, it was a place where obscenely powerful people went to hide their deepest, darkest secrets, and it was twenty floors beneath a strip club. It was heavily guarded, and people who wanted to access their unit were given a vague window of time and then emailed details an hour before they could go.

So now we waited. The guys would hang out in the strip club while I embraced my inner Nancy Drew and tried to unravel my sister’s life. Hopefully she’d stored something that would help us shut Gary down for good.

The elevator stopped on the top floor and let us out. I raised my brows as we stepped into a marble foyer with gilded chairs set by a table with fresh flowers. There were doors on either side of us.

“Where are all the other rooms?” I asked.

Linc laughed, slinging his bag over his shoulder. “I forget how new she is sometimes, bro. Call us when it’s time to go.”

Court smiled at me and followed Linc into the room to our left. Ryan’s fingers laced with mine, and he used his keycard to unlock the one on the right.

“Ash booked us the penthouse so we’d have privacy,” he explained, holding open the door for me.

I walked through, my eyes going wide as I took in massive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Strip, a living area decorated in creams and golds, and a floating staircase that led to a whole other level.

“This is like a fairytale,” I whispered, not sure what to look at next.

Ryan closed the door and wrapped his arms around me from behind, his chin on my shoulder. “Consider this a mini version of the honeymoon I owe you.” He kissed the side of my throat. “Tired?”

I was, but sleep was the last thing on my mind.

I turned in his arms, burrowing closer into his chest. “Nope.”

He grinned as I snuck my hands under his shirt. The muscles of his abs flexed beneath my touch as I glided my hands up his chest. I lightly raked my nails across his nipples, smiling when I heard the quick intake of breath hiss between his lips. He raised his arms so I could push his shirt over his head, then I dipped my mouth to suck one of his nipples between my lips.

“Fuck,” he barked, a hand twisting around my ponytail and jerking my head back.

My lips left his skin with an audible pop as I watched him through hooded eyes.

He grinned at me, feral and devastating. “I’ve got something better you can suck.” He pushed me to my knees and cocked a brow, waiting for me to pick up his unspoken command.

I licked my lips, anticipation singing in my veins as I studied the bulge in his jeans a moment before unbuttoning them and wrestling them down his hips and legs, along with his boxers. His cock sprang free, damn near hitting me in the face.

Without hesitating, I leaned forward and swiped the flat of my tongue up the underside of his length, teasing his slit before sucking just his tip into my mouth.

His hands tightened against my head and he thrust forward, his cock hitting the back of my throat. My eyes watered, and I gagged. He didn’t let up, pressing deeper until I swallowed hard. Then he pulled out, leaving me gasping.

“Too much?” he asked mildly, almost like a dare.

I smirked. “I can take it.”

He thumbed my bottom lip. “That’s my girl. Hands behind your back.”

I did as he said, folding my arms together at the small of my back and waiting on my knees. Pleasure shot through me as he grinned down at me, approval in his eyes.

“Open your mouth.”
