“I’m going to take you up on the shower,” I came to stand behind her, staring at her reflection in the mirror above the dresser. My hand brushed her side, cupping her breast, and rolling her nipple between my fingers, “And the other invitation for another time.”
Her chest arched into my palm for a moment, “I’ll hold you to that.”
I rubbed myself along her back while I ran my nose up the column of her neck, “You sure your work can’t wait a few minutes more?”
She laughed, “Not unless you want my sister to come in and join us.”
My brows popped, now wouldn’t that be interesting—maybe a bit overwhelming too. “Yeah, I’ll take that shower.”
She grinned at me as I walked away. “Make sure to leave your number. I’ll call you when I have time.”
“I’ll do that.” At the bathroom door, I glanced back and saw her frowning. Was it something I said? Or was her mind on other things already?
I glanced around her large bathroom, the fixtures all gold, the counters marble. It was as opulent as the rest of her place, but not gaudy. When I was done showering, I dressed and was heading out to the living room when I heard them mention Joseph Portage. We had been searching for him for a while, but the man was a ghost.
I knew why we were searching for Portage, but why were they trying to find him. Was it because he was waging war against just about everyone? Probably, and if Kristin was searching for him, I had a feeling it was to kill him.
She showed me out, asking me if I’d left my number before brushing a kiss over my cheek. The man outside the door glared at me as I left. Did he not like Kristin with other men? It was obvious that he was close to her, but just how close?
We stood in the elevator as it went down and I studied him. He was intense looking, a bit taller than me, green eyes, short cut brown hair. He turned to me as if he knew what I was doing, lifting a brow my way. “I’m not your type.”
“You’re not mine either.” I replied. I knew that the best way to get respect from these guys was to show them that you weren’t afraid. “What I was wondering was if you were her type.”
He turned away, but not before I saw the slight frown on his brow. “What she does is none of your business.”
“Maybe not right now.”
He turned so quickly that I didn’t see it. Suddenly, he was right in front of my face, our noses almost touching. “Don’t think for a second that you are more than a quick fuck for her. She’s too damn important to our people to get involved with a human male.”
I didn’t reply. Didn’t know what I could have said, because I was pretty damn sure he was right. I was nothing to her, and never would be, but I didn’t back down. I kept my chin up, my eyes locked onto his.
He slowly stepped away a little smirk on his face. Was that because he knew he had practically scared the crap out of me?
“At least you aren’t stupid enough to think that there will ever be anything between you.” He said gruffly.
I frowned, “How do you know that was what I was thinking?”
“You project some of your thoughts loudly.” He said as the door opened on the bottom floor.
“You really can hear my thoughts?” I asked.
He turned to me, smirking again, “Oh, yeah. I can hear them, and I can hear your heart thudding hard in your chest with fear. I hear every beat, and the sound of your blood rushing through your veins.”
“Can she?”
He laughed, “Man, we all can, now get out. I have work to do.”
I stepped around him and left, heading straight to the front door. I pulled my cellphone out of my pocket noting it was almost ten-thirty. I dialed Tom’s number as I hit the sidewalk.
“Did you get anywhere with her?”
The best damn organism of my life,I thought but replied, “Not yet, but I think I might be able to. I didn’t get much of a chance to talk to her tonight, but I have a feeling she will call me again. When she does, I’ll speak to her then.”
“Fine, I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”
I told him goodbye and hung up. There was no way that I was going to tell him that instead of talking, I’d been having earth-shattering sex. Damn, her body hummed like a fine-tuned instrument. By the time I got in my car, my dick was throbbing again.
