First and foremost,JulietWithCurveswas still the woman who’d hacked into my system months ago, trying to access my emails, text messages, and call log. I didn’t trust her. I didn’t trust the timing of her appearance in my life either.

One day, I might have to drag her into my dungeon and figure out exactly who’d sent her. When that day came, I might have to punish her for trying to steal intel from me. That thought should’ve disturbed me.

Instead, it made my dick twitch. I couldn’t help it. I was...intriguedby her. Intrigued by her conversation, by the way her mind worked, by the way she could make me cum with her words while still challenging me with her coding. She was the only opponent I’d ever had who could keep up with me.

If I wasn’t careful, she really would achieve her goal of hacking into the files she was after. Even so, I counted to thirty slowly before cracking my knuckles and placing my hand on the keyboard.

Lines of code flashed across the screen. My Juliet was good. Too damn good. Most people never made it this far into my system before getting buried beneath layers of security.JulietWithCurvesalways found ways around it.

And the worst part?

I liked that about her.

I fucking loved it. I loved watching her break obstacles I’d carefully created for her. A new notification popped up.

JulietWithCurves:You didn’t reply to my last message. You know I don’t like to be ignored.

I smirked but didn’t respond. Instead, my fingers continued moving across the keyboard as I blocked another intrusion attempt. I rerouted her access points and locked down another firewall she’d nearly slipped through.

A soft chime sounded again.

JulietWithCurves:It feels like you’re ignoring me, Romeo.

This time I wrote back.

Romeo:I could never ignore you, Juliet.

I went back to blocking her attempts while also trying to backdoor my way into her device. If I could just activate her cams, I’d be able to get a glimpse of her face. At night, when we video-chatted, she always wore a mask, refusing to reveal who she truly was.

Since she wouldn’t show me her face, I’d had no choice but to wear a mask that covered the lower half of mine. As for her body,I’d seen every inch of her beautiful brown skin. But I needed more. I felt like I’d lose my mind if I didn’t get more soon.

JulietWithCurves:It’s official. You’re ignoring me, and I don’t like it.

I continued trying to access her cams.

JulietWithCurves:You’re being rude, Romeo!

I ignored that one too.

JulietWithCurves:You deserve a spanking for your current behavior, Romeo.

I chuckled. This woman had entirely too much confidence for someone currently trying to break into a Cattaneo’s system. Then again, her confidence and obvious lack of fear were part of what made her so damn addictive.

Most hackers panicked the moment they realized I was aware of them trying to break into my system. Juliet didn’t panic. She flirted. Teased. Sent filthy messages while trying to gather intel on me.

My gaze narrowed on the screen as another line of code appeared.Fuck!She’d once again prevented me from triangulating her location. I quickly opened another tracing window and began digging deeper.

Come on, sweetheart.

Give me something.

Another message popped onto the screen.

JulietWithCurves:You’re sneaky, Romeo. But I can be sneaky too.

A few seconds later, a pop-up flashed on my screen. It was an animated image of a woman blowing me a kiss. A low chuckle escaped me despite myself. This woman was a fucking menace.

I leaned forward slightly, focusing harder as I worked through another layer of encryption she’d hidden behind. My office faded into the background as I concentrated on her coding style, her timing, the way she moved through systems.
