Wolf moved so that his body was shielding me from the guy's view. If he was looking.
"What are you doing?" I asked Wolf as I pulled the security door open. It was still broken.
"Nothing." He said and pushed me inside."You don't know who's watching."
I stopped. "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing. How long has the front door been broken?"
I laughed. It's always been like that. "Relax, there’s nothing here to steal."
He smirked and pulled me closer, his hands resting on my hips. "I don't want anything to happen to you. Promise me, if you see anyone suspicious or hear anything, you'll tell me."
"Nothing's going to happen to me."
He leaned down and captured my lips with his.
I could feel myself melting.
"No one is going to hurt you."
As I unlocked my apartment, I felt a sense of calm. I knew that Wolf was dangerous, but he also made me feel safe.
Wolf kissed me again, his lips lingering. "I'll see you later."

As I left Jasmine's apartment, the empty street was a relief. The guy who had been lurking outside earlier was gone- lucky for him. But if he showed up again, he was going to have a problem. I was determined to protect her and make sure no one ever hurt her again. I needed to focus on finding out more about the missing girls from Eclipse, but first things first,I needed to make sure the security door was fixed.
After scanning through county records, I finally found the name and address of Jasmine's sleazy landlord. With a bit more digging, I uncovered quite a bit about Mr. Jackson: he had a nice home in the suburbs, a wife and a daughter in college, and a twenty-two-year-old with a toddler.I waited until his wife left before knocking on the front door. Mr. Jackson answered, looking annoyed..
"Hello, Mr. Jackson," I stared him down.
"Who the hell are you?" He puffed out his chest trying to look intimidating. Was he kidding? He was at least three inches shorter than me.
I detected fear underneath his bluster. This wasn’t going to take long."We need to talk," I said, pushing past him closing the door behind me.
"Is this about the money?" he asked, eyeing me warily. “Leo said I had until the end of the month.”
I leaned in close, my voice low and threatening. " This isn’t about the money. It’s about your dirty little secrets, Richard. And if you do what I say, maybe I won't have to tell your wife."
“I don’t have any secrets.” He stammered his eyes shifting nervously.
This guy was a shit liar. I grabbed his neck and pushed him back against the wall. "I'm not in the mood for you to play dumb, so listen. You are going to fix the security door at 1250 King St."
"Who the fuck are you?"
I cocked my head to the side.Did he want me to kill him? "Someone who doesn’t have a problem with your wife coming home to find you in a coma.” I tightened my grip on his neck. He struggled for air and started flailing him arms. “Now, are you going to do it?"
He nodded his head so rapidly it was comical.
I released his throat. "You have twenty-four hours.."
I left, satisfied that the security door would be fixed by morning
The sun was setting when I pulled into the underground garage of my building.I leaned against the wall in my private elevator. The memory of Jasmine flooded my mind, her body trembling with pleasure as I teased her at the museum. I pictured her spread out in my bed, where I could savor every moment with her. The way her skin felt under my fingertips, the sound of her soft moans filling the air - all of it made me ache for her even more. I couldn't wait to have her all to myself again, to explore every inch of her and make her mine all over again. The elevator doors dinged,and I stepped into the long hallway that led to my penthouse.
I opened the door to my apartment and saw him standing looking out over the city, hands folded behind his back. There was only one person in the world who could get past my security.
