“Yes, you did,” Piper laughs.
“Several times,” Mia adds with a mouth full of popcorn.
Piper raises a brow. “Did he or did he not get you off in the club?”
“That means nothing,” I protest.
They simultaneously laugh.
“Hey, you’re supposed to be on my side, and we’re supposed to be hating on him together.”
“Okay, sorry, you’re totally right. We’ll leave out the fact that you’re obviously into him”—Mia ignores me when I try to cut her off—“and go back to talking shit. I can’t believe the audacity that man had to switch your jobs to work directly for him. Like, what does he think he owns, the company?”
“Not funny.”
Piper smirks. “Oh, come on, it’s a little funny.”
“If you aren’t going to be helpful, I’m hanging up,” I threaten.
“Wait!” Piper’s face turns serious. “The visa paperwork stuff is complete bullshit, and for that alone, we hate him. You should have told us. Maybe the boys can help.”
I deflate. Her agreeing that he’s an asshole doesn’t invigorate me like I thought it would. What is wrong with me? “It really shouldn’t have been a big deal. It’s just a quick change and a new signature. He’s doing this on purpose.”
“Why though?” Mia leans back and tightens her pale blonde ponytail. “I don’t get it.”
“That’s because it makes absolutely no sense!” I drop my head into my hands. “I just need to convince him to sign it.”
“Clearly, something was up last night. Maybe he’ll be better at work?” Piper replies calmly.
“Right…right…okay.” I inhale, count to three, then let it out. “I just need to show him exactly what kind of asset I am to the company and how stupid he is not to sign the paperwork.”
“He’d be a total fool not to,” Mia agrees.
I already feel better with a plan. “Okay, I just need to go to work, kick ass, and no matter how hot he is: don’t kiss him.”
Both girls smirk at me.
Shit.
Chapter 14
Damon
“Any new information regarding the missing Unsainted?” I question Matthias, holding the phone to my ear as I push the button to the fifth floor. I’d been surprised when Misty’s meeting popped up on my calendar. I thought I’d have to chase her, that she would try to ignore me going forward, not that I would let that happen.
Whatever it is, it’s the perfect opportunity to speak with her. I know she’s pissed about the other night, but now I’m going to make all of her problems disappear. A thrill shoots down my spine at the thought of tying her to me forever. Not that she’ll know that. Baby steps.
“Damon.” Matthias’s voice rings loudly in my ear, catching my attention back from my favorite distraction.
“What?” The elevator door chimes, and I step out, proceeding down the hall.
He huffs out an amused breath. “Welcome back, brother. It’s not my fault you space out.”
I don’t bother lying. He’d just call me on it anyway. “Tell me.”
“We’ve lost another three Unsainted. These ones are a big hit…” He’s quiet for several seconds. “Someone’s coming after us.”
My feet pause, and the full force of his words slam into my chest. The last time a family challenged us, it didn’t end well for them. Every member was erased and the kids pushed out of the Order. Their name is only brought up in whispers to remind people what happens if you fuck with the Lords of the Order of Saints.
