“Katiya?”

She bites her lip and gives me an expression that makes me want to shove her into the elevator and fuck her, with no care that security cameras are all over us.

“Get in the elevator,” I mutter in her ear.

Once we’re in, I key in the code to get to the top floor. While I don’t have a bodyguard, I know security won’t miss a beat. Still, it’s not their business if I take a beautiful woman up to my suite.

The elevator doors close, and she stands there like a fucking vision staring at me as I scowl down at her.

“Marco!” She smiles like it’s a coincidence to see me here.

“What the fuck are you doing here?”

“That’s all you have to say? You seem angry.”

I run a hand through my hair.

That’s notallI have to say, but I’m completely fucking bewildered.

“I’m not angry, just surprised to see you here.”

“I just thought I’d stop by. It looks like one hell of a party.”

I look briefly down at her hips and all the skin exposed from the parts of her dress that don’t have fabric. “You thought you’d stop by?”

“Yes, do you have a problem with that?”

I raise my eyebrows in surprise. “Of course there’s a problem. What the fuck were you thinking? Are you trying to start a war?”

She looks momentarily stunned. “I wanted to see you,” she says with her hands on her hips. “And no, as a matter of fact, I’m not trying to start a war.”

I run my hands through my hair once more and loosen my tie. She watches every move.

“Does anyone know you’re here? How did you even get here?”

She bites her lip, looks at the elevator buttons, and hits the emergency so we come to an abrupt halt.

“Katiya, answer me!”

“I was with my friends. I escaped, temporarily. I’ll be going back.” She shrugs.

“You escaped?”

“Yes, and I can’t be too long. I needed to see you.”

She steps toward me and grabs my tie.

Jesus fuck.

“Katiya, this is fucking dangerous.”

“I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking. Do you have some alternative way we could see each other? By all means, shout out when you know.”

“Do you have to have a smart answer for everything?” I reach out to touch her hair. I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t stop myself. “And clearly, you weren’t thinking.”

“I just wanted to be here on your big night.”

I cup her face. “We can’t do this here.”
