He raises his eyebrows and takes a step closer. “Because I do. What are you doing after work, Chloe?”
I’m not sure whether I should be nervous at his question or not. What is he doing here in the first place? I don’t remember telling him where I work.
“I’m going home.”
His gaze travels down my body, his tongue darting out to wet his lips as he does so. “Good girl. I’ll see you there.”
“I’m sorry, what?” My face pinches as I try to process his words. What the hell is happening?
Instead of answering my question, he leans closer. “Have a good rest of your shift, Little one.”
Then he turns on his heel and stalks out of the shop, and I’m left dazed and completely confused.
My phone starts ringing as I make my way out to my car.
“Hey, Paisley. I’m about to head home.”
“Thank God. Bash is here with three other big dudes, and they’re setting up security cameras and changing out the locks on all the doors and windows. I tried to stop them, but the big hairy one they keep calling Wolf laughed at me and started taking the doorknob apart anyway.”
“What?” I screech. “Let me talk to Bash!”
There’s some rustling as Paisley tells him I want to talk to him.
“Hey, Little girl, are you on your way home?”
“Bash, what the fuck! What are you doing at my house?”
He lowers his voice as he speaks again, “Little girls who use dirty words get punished. Do you want to be punished, Chloe?”
My entire body flushes, and I’m about to lose my shit on this guy. Who does he think he is? I slam my car door shut and start the ignition. “What is it with you and punishing women? Do you get off on hurting them?”
“I never said anything about your punishment being painful. In fact, it could be quite enjoyable. For both of us.”
My heart is pounding so hard, I can hear it. What in the hell is going on right now? And what does he mean by enjoyable? Was that a sexual innuendo? Is he flirting with me? Because my body is reacting completely differently than my brain. I’m going to need to change into a fresh pair of panties when I get home. After I murder Sebastian Gilroy.
“Is my brother there?” I demand.
“Nope. Just me and some of my associates. Wear your seatbelt on the drive home and no speeding.”
“Sebastian, what the hell are you?—”
I don’t get to finish because the phone beeps in my ear signaling the end of the call.
“Gah!” I scream.
Instead of calling Paisley back, I find my brother’s name in my phone.
“Hey, Chloe,” he answers casually.
“Did you send Bash over to my house to install security cameras?” My voice is shrill as I shout, but I don’t care. These overbearing men are going to feel my wrath.
Kieran chuckles. “Nope. Don’t know anything about that. That’s all Bash.”
“Why, Kieran? Why would he do that if you didn’t tell him to? Why? Tell me!”
“Jesus, Chloe, take a fucking breath before your head pops off.”
I obey his command and take several breaths. He’s right. I am about to detonate. But only because there’s a hot as fuck mobster at my house right now installing a whole-ass security system. Who does that? I mean, I wouldn’t put it past my brother, but Bash isn’t my family. We hardly know each other, and now he thinks he can boss me around and call me names that make me weak in the knees? No. Nope. Not happening.
