‘No,’ I said, shaking my head. ‘I’ll grab an Uber. I need a bit of time.’
Ewen looked torn before standing up as I shrunk back a step, unsure of what he was doing. The way his eyes burned when looking at me discomforted me and made my thighs slicken anew at the same time. Would he try to keep me here? Pin me down and take my virginity? Did I hope that he would?
Scenarios pounded at my head while he watched me like I was prey.
‘Take tomorrow off if you need it. I’ll see you the day after for your next shift.’
The plummeting in my chest at his dismissal warred with the relief of it.
‘You’re going to let me keep filling in for Ruby?’
‘Yes, my little liar. If only to have you nearby.’
When I left his office, I checked over my shoulder a number of times, convinced he would follow me and touch me again.
Leaving the club twenty minutes later, alone, I slouched into my Uber seat with a sigh. My boss has broken all the rules and literally whipped me. But he’d also driven me to levels of desire I’d never felt before.
He saw me for what I was and glorified it.
I’d never felt so conflicted in all my life.
SEVENTEEN
EWEN
The clock ticked loud enough that every second was a taunt.
She’s late.
She’s not coming.
You scared her off.
Cora hadn’t turned up for her shift, and it left me feeling antsy. I’d been counting down the minutes until I saw her again.
Craving her.
And she hadn’t shown up.
I had to find out where she was.
‘Alright, boss?’ Adam asked as he finished up serving a client.
‘Yeah. I need to head out for a bit. You’re in charge.’
With a nod, Adam went back to serving.
By the time I’d driven to her home, I’d made up a thousand reasons why she was avoiding me, trying to assuage myself that it wasn’t her rejecting me. Not really.
Her flat was shrouded in darkness, no glow from TVs or phones, never mind room lights. Where was she?
A little voice inside me told me to leave it. No good would come from stalking her. If she didn’t want what I had to offer, I needed to suck it up and let her be. It was the right thing to do.
The sanest thing.
And absolutely not happening.
But how did I track her?
