I wasn’t sure I could take anymore of Cord Parker tonight. He’d probably finished shagging his manager and thought he could get some action from me next.
Cord: Really? Because you left the blinds up in your bathroom, and I’m looking at you soaking in a bath right now, your hair’s all wet. I have to admit, I’m slightly jealous I’m not in there with you.
Me heart dropped to me stomach as I stared at the text. I must have read it five times before me head popped up, and I looked out the window. Right into Cord’s eyes.
Sitting on one of the small tables with his feet on a chair was Cord. He had on a cowboy hat and a smile that made me insides quiver.
“Oh, holy shite.”
Cord lifted his hand and waved.
I snarled at him. “Little fecker!”
His head dropped back, and he laughed like he’d just seen the funniest thing ever. As if he’d just picked up the art of lip reading.
Fine, if he wanted to play this little game, I was going to give him something to look at.
I stood and when he looked back at me, his smile dropped as he stared at me naked body like it was the first time he’d ever seen a naked woman. It felt wonderful to see his eyes rake over me. I wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. This was not something I would normally do, but when Cord Parker was involved all sense went out the door.
Taking me time, I stepped out of the bath. I wanted desperately to look back at him, but I didn’t as I walked across the room and reached for the robe. I turned and nearly laughed me ass off when he leaned over to get a better look and missed the edge of the table with his hand. He fell right off with a thud.
“That’s what you get, you arse!”
I dropped the robe onto my arms and wrapped it around me body as I made me way to the door that led out to the rooftop.
Cord stopped me before I could step out. I glared at him.
“You pervert!” I shouted.
“Pervert? You’re the one taking a bath with your damn blinds open. What the fuck, Maebh? Anyone could look up here and see you. That shit needs to be shut when you’re in there naked.”
It was like his words reminded him of what he had seen only moments ago. A hungry look came over his eyes.
“I’m on the top floor. Who would be looking in?”
Cord snapped out of it and pointed to the buildings across the square. “Anyone can look with binoculars at you, Maebh. It’s dangerous.”
Me eyes darted past him to the buildings. Wrapping me arms around me body I suddenly felt like people were staring. It was the first time I’d thought about the other buildings and people living over there.
“Shite.”
“Yeah, and I think that means shit.”
Me gaze darted back to him. “How did you get over here?”
He shrugged. “I walked across all the roofs. The little barrier walls are short so you can climb over them.”
I looked over and saw what he was talking about. “Why are you here and not with Tammy?”
Cord’s brows pulled tightly. “Tammy? Why would I be with Tammy?”
Me head dropped to the floor, and I shrugged. I was feeling silly for being upset. It wasn’t like Cord was mine.
I felt his body heat and looked up. Cord was standing directly in front of me.
“Why did you think I was with Tammy?” he softly asked.
“I overheard a couple girls who work for you. They said you went into your office with her to…you know.”
A slow smile made the corner of his mouth rise up in a sexy way. Me insides warmed when I should have been angry.
“You can stand and show me your naked body, but you can’t say something about sex. Why?”
There was no way I was going to tell Cord he made me a nervous wreck when it came to sex.
“They said she called you back to the bar for a nonexistent problem and that you both went into your office. Then they said she wanted to ride your cock and was making it her life’s goal.”
Cord’s eyes widened, and he took a few steps back. “What the fuck? Who said that?”
I shrugged. “I don’t know who they were, but they work for you.”
“That’s fucking bullshit. Tammy is a professional and nothing has or ever will happen between us.”
I was hoping me body didn’t let him know how happy I was with that statement.
Cord’s anger disappeared, and he took a few steps closer, making me take a few back.
“My sweet little Maebh. Were you jealous?”
With a scoff, I said, “First off, Mr. Parker, I’m not your little anything, and I wasn’t jealous. Hardly.”
“Then why did you lie and say you were with your father when you were really soaking in a bath?”
