KERES

Heavy footfalls echo down the hallway. At least two people. My heart rate spikes. I should have locked the door.

I step out of the room. “This is private…” The remaining words hang in the air between us. I stop breathing.

Ace’s lips curl into a grin. “Hey, Trouble.”

Swallowing hard, I regain my ability to speak. “How did you— What are you both doing here?”

They stop a few feet in front of me. Ace folds his arms over his chest. “Lorenzo told us you were here. And well, we kind of have a lot of time on our hands.”

“Yeah, now that we don’t have a job,” Romeo adds with a chuckle.

Blood whooshes in my ears and I can barely hear myself think. “I’m, uh, sorry about that.”

Ace cocks his head, his dark brown eyes burning into mine. “Sorry enough to remedy our current unemployment status?”

“You want to work for me?”

They both step forward, crowding me and forcing me to step back through the doorway of the office. “We can iron out the details later,” Ace says with the hint of a smirk.

Romeo arches an eyebrow. “Yeah, we got more pressing things to discuss first.”

My stomach twists into a knot. “Such as?” My eyes dart between the two of them.

Ace glances around the room. “This will be your office?”

“I guess. It was the priest’s office, I think.”

“Hmm.” Ace runs a hand over his jaw, and his eyes drift to the only piece of furniture left behind, a huge mahogany desk that sits in the center of the room. Then he flashes a look at Romeo that makes heat bloom in my center. “You think he ever fucked anyone on that desk?” Before I can answer, he brushes past me and plants his hands on the solid wood, pressing down as though he’s assessing it’s sturdiness. “Because it kind of seems like that’s what it was made for.”

Spinning to face him, I lick my lips and will my voice not to tremble when I speak. “I’m pretty sure it was made for working on, and also that priests don’t fuck.”

Romeo steps closer, and the heat from his body at my back makes me shiver. So close that his breath ruffles my hair. “Everyone fucks, Kee. Alone here with all those nuns…” He lets out a throaty laugh.

Oh, god. I take a deep breath and roll back my shoulders. “Would you like to see the rest of the place?”

Ace glances at the desk again, a slow, sexy-as-hell smile creeping over his face. “Sure.”

“Why not?” Romeo agrees.

I let out a small sigh of relief, or maybe it’s frustration. I can’t stop myself from picturing myself pinned to that desk with the two of them taking turns to fuck me. Shaking my head, I try to clear the thoughts, but my cheeks burn and my panties are getting wetter at the mere memory of the things these two men can do to my body.

Before the room grows more charged with sexual tension, I slip past Romeo and out of the office, beckoning them to follow. My boots make a soft squeaking sound on the old parquet flooring as we head down the hallway toward the south wing of the building.

Romeo glances into every room we pass. “So, what are you planning to do with this place, Fuck-up?” When we reach the south wing, he looks up and down the corridor and whistles. “It’s pretty fucking huge.”

“It has forty-six bedrooms on the second and third floors. And all of the rooms down here are so spacious. A lot of them used to be communal when the nuns were here.”

“What do you need all this space for?” Ace asks.

“I’m going to convert the rooms into self-contained apartments. Transform the spaces down here into comfortable areas for people to gather if they want. Some small therapy rooms and a couple offices for surgeries.” I talk fast, excitement fueling me as I envision the changes I’m going to make.

Romeo stops in front of a large door at the end of the hallway. “For what purpose?”

My cheeks blaze with heat. They’ll think I have delusions of grandeur for wanting to pull this off. “It will be a refuge.”
