That seems to change his mood. The scowl’s been replaced with interest, and he tilts his head to the side as if considering whether I’m a worthy opponent for an in-house adventure. I wait. At last, Shane gives me a wicked smile, one that makes my stomach flip-flop with anticipation.
“Three minutes.”
Chapter Sixteen
Shane
The instant Claire’s three minutes are up, I’m on the prowl. It’s a big house, but there are only so many places to hide. I can’t imagine she’d make the mistake of being trapped in a room with a single exit, so I check the shared spaces first.
Kitchen.
Dining room.
Gym.
No Claire.
As I step into the library, I hear a soft thud. Stalking through the room, I approach the desk on the far side. I can’t see Claire, but I know she has to be underneath. It’s the sole hiding spot in the room. Though the desk blocks me from seeing her, it allows me to sneak up on her.
Tension hums through my body, but I force myself to keep my steps light. My cock aches with anticipation. Claire is so close, all I have to do is—
“Mr. Underwood? Do you have a minute?” Margot’s voice breaks my concentration. Claire squeaks beneath the desk. I make a mistake and look back at Margot.
Claire runs. She’s out the other door in a blur. Seeing her run like that and not chasing her is torture. But the hunt will last longer if I give her another lead. Turning to face Margot, I try to mask my irritation.
“Yes?”
She flushes, eyes pointedly looking away from where my cock tents my sweatpants. “Gage Stanton would like to have lunch with you this week. He says you can pick the day.”
Lunch. I’m standing here with a throbbing cock because of lunch.
“I’ll let him know what day works for me.”
She nods. I’m running after Claire before Margot even leaves the library. I decide to circle back and recheck the living room, dining room, and kitchen.
Nothing.
Then it’s back to the library, then into the gym, and finally, Claire’s room. No luck.
Fuck.
I should be balls deep inside her right now, not still trying to find her.
Would she go outside?
A boom of thunder makes me hope she didn’t. After another tour of the house turns up nothing, I’m forced to accept that she’s outside somewhere.
Fuck.
If only I’d grabbed her when she was under the desk. I need to go get her. Go fuck her. But first, I need shoes. Flinging open my bedroom door, I hurry to the closet. I flip the switch. The light comes on, and I smile.
Found her.
Chapter Seventeen
Claire
Well, going into Shane’s room wasn’t one of my finest moments. I knew it was a bad call as soon as I came in, but then I heard him. All I could do was huddle in the corner and hope he didn’t need anything from the closet. Of course, he did. Now he’s staring at me like he’s trying to decide what part of me to eat. I squeeze my thighs together. My pussy wants to be first on the list of things he tastes.
