She moaned. “We don’t have time for that. I have to get to work.”
She was so remarkable that managed to slip into my dark world, bringing light and a badass attitude. She’d taken down Fiona. And everyone knew how fucking crazy Fiona was in a fight. I was fine with everyone thinking Lila to be as ruthless a killer as I was. It meant they’d fucking think a hundred times over before ever trying to attack her.
I thrust my finger inside of her. “Are you sure?”
She arched her back. “Yes. I can’t take any more time off. I’m surprised they haven’t fired me yet.”
I circled her clit with my thumb. “How can they fire you for taking a week off?”
“Slower. Do it slower.” She grabbed my arm with both hands, holding on for the ride. “I guess they can’t fire me for that but for—Ohhh! Yesss.”
She came. Bucked. Nails dug into my arm. And my dick was hard as steel.
I let her have a breather while I licked my finger. “So damn fucking sweet.”
“How come you never got sued or arrested?”
“For giving you the world’s most amazing orgasms? I didn’t know that was a crime?”
Lila play-slapped my shoulder. “I’m talking about Rothwell. Every day I kept expecting to get fired and for you to get…something. Sued or arrested.”
I pinched my fingers together, the Italian way, and put on my best Marlon Brando impression. “I made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.”
“Oh my gawd. You made a joke!” She smacked her palm on my forehead. “You must have a fever.”
“I’m feverish for you, baby.”
She rolled her eyes. “Please stop. I want the scowling, stormy-eyed Hawk back. What have you done with him?”
You fixed him, Kitten.
“I think you broke him.” I pinched her nipple. “Ready for round two?”
“Not until you tell me what happened with Rothwell.”
“I beat the shit out of him, broke a hell of a lot of bones, but spared his precious hands.”
“And?”
“He’ll never bother you. I told him that if he ever went near you again, I’d tear both his arms off. I ordered him to find a job somewhere else and to fucking make sure nothing happened to yours. And if he sent the cops after me, then I’d fabricate some sexual assault videos of him and post them on the internet, ruining his career forever. And if he tried to sue me, I’d break his arms.”
I shrugged. “You know, the regular threats.”
I watched her closely, waiting for something to tell me she was pissed. Instead, she leaned in and kissed me. A soft, gentle kiss.
“Thank you, Hawk.”
Wasn’t expecting that, but I’d take it. “I want to know why you didn’t beat him up all those times he put his hands on you? Because I know you can. It couldn’t possibly be for your job. It still fucking kills me that I left his hands unharmed, knowing what he did to you.”
“You know better than anyone that reputation is important. A few years as a psychiatrist at that clinic gave me a chance to prove myself as one of the best addiction specialists in the country. I wouldn’t have been able to achieve that as fast as I did anywhere else.
“And Dr. Creep is the director’s son. Standing up to him would have gotten me fired. Besides, his advances weren’t always like that. It started with a friendly handshake lasting a little too long. Then an amicable hand on the shoulder as he walked by. It progressed so gradually that by the time it was flat-out sexual harassment, I didn’t know how to stop it.”
She shook her head. “I feel like such an idiot for letting him do that to me.”
“Kitten, you did nothing wrong. Don’t fucking take the blame for that bastard’s actions. He did wrong. Only him.”
She nodded but didn’t seem convinced.
