“We’ll stop at your apartment on the way or something. Or I could call my shopper and ask her to get a place on Fifth Ave. to open for us.”
I blink in surprise. “At two in the morning?”
He shrugs. “Why not?”
“Because it’s two in the morning!” I laugh. “I mean holy shit, Carter. Just how rich are you now?” I frown and shake my head. “Sorry, that’s so rude to just ask.”
“No, it’s not,” he grins. “And the answer is four-hundred.”
My jaw drops. “Million?”
“I know, I know,” he sighs dramatically. “It’s not the billion Luke managed to grab. But I think if I watch my spending, I can make do.”
I roll my eyes. “You’re ridiculous, you know.”
“I do know that,” he laughs. “But I also know that I’ve got you, so I can be as ridiculous as I want.”
He kisses me, and it starts to grow deeper. But I giggle and push him away before springing from the bed. “Okay, okay! We need to go, or we never will.”
“I was serious before, you know,” Carter says. He slinks out of bed, like a jungle cat uncoiling. I just stare at his grooved, muscled, perfect body. And then my eyes lower to his huge cock still hard between his legs. I’m pretty sure this is what winning the lottery feels like.
“About?”
“About using it for good. I do want to invest with Luke, because I know his investment company is doing really well. But I also want to build something. Maybe a security force or something, but not like Fortress Security.” He frowns at his own mention of the mercenary group he and Luke worked for after the Marines. “They were just hired guns. I want a protection force. To rid the world of evil men. Sometimes our heroes need protection.”
I sidle up to him, and he pulls me close and kisses me. My heart flutters, and I think about how I almost lost him. I think about how I did lose him, actually. But now that he’s back, I know I’m never letting him go.
“C’mon,” he smiles. He pulls on some jeans and a sweater and we leave his room. Out in the main living area, I blush and slip my dress and sheer underwear back on. Carter takes my hand and we leave the apartment. It’s funny to think that I came here with dread in my heart. Now I’m leaving here on cloud nine.
In the elevator, he pushes the button for the roof. I frown curiously. “The roof?”
Carter grins. “Can’t land a helicopter in the middle of Park Avenue.”
My jaw drops, and the elevator doors open. We step out onto the rooftop helipad, and I shake my head. “You have a helicopter,” I laugh. “Of course you do.”
He grins and pulls out his phone. I can hear him talking to someone about the chopper and he thanks them before hanging up. “Pilot’s on the way. Shouldn’t be too long.”
“How will we ever pass the time?” I grin hungrily at him. God, what does this man do to me? He’s just made me come like a dozen times tonight, and I’m still thirsty for more. I lean into him and he kisses me deeply. His arms circle me, and I moan. The wind whips around us, tousling my hair while I kiss him. He moves to my neck, and I smile happily as he teases me there. My eyes scan the views of New York around us, and I startle in surprise. Flying low and almost invisible against the city, is a sleek, dark black helicopter approaching the roof.
“Wow,” I giggle. “That was fast!”
Carter pulls back from me and frowns. “What was?”
“Your guy,” I grin. Behind him, the helicopter starts to drop out of the sky towards us. “Was he waiting on the roof next door?” I say with a giggle.
Carter frowns though. “What?”
“Your pilot?” I’m confused, and I point past him. “He’s already here.”
Carter starts to turn, but suddenly, he yells and grabs me. He knocks me over onto the ground, making me scream. But suddenly, the ground where we were just standing is peppered with jagged holes along with a banging sound that sounds like fireworks.
“Get down!” Carter yells and grabs me. He hauls me across the helipad, and we dive down behind a low wall. More holes and popping sounds chase us, and I suddenly understand what’s going on: we’re beingshotat.
The helicopter circles and lowers, and a bunch of black ropes fall out from the doors. Four men in black tactical gear jump out and slide down the ropes. My heart climbs up into my throat, and I start to scream.
The men hit the roof and start running towards us. Their guns blaze, and I scream louder. But Carter’s strong hands pull me down low and he covers me with his body. Suddenly, he roars and jumps to his feet. He hurdles the small wall and hits the men in black all at once. His elbow cracks into one of the guy’s face mask, and Carter wrenches the automatic gun from his hands. The guy falls instantly when Carter pulls the trigger, and he spins to face the rest of them.
Two other men topple over onto the ground. The fourth sprays bullets towards Carter, which makes me scream. But he ducks behind a planter, and then comes up shooting, and the fourth man falls down.
