“Very good, very good. Then I assume it’s still on?”
“That’s right. We work out the kinks, make sure everyone’s happy, then we can make this official. You handle the product, we handle distribution. That still work?”
“That was the agreement,” he said. “And yes, it should still work. I’ll update my people and let them know that you’re the acting leader of your organization. If we have any further questions, I’ll be in touch.”
“Perfect.”
Right after I said the word, I spotted someone familiar over his shoulder.
Claire.
I quickly checked my watch to see that, sure enough, it was a little before two. My cock twitched to life at the sight of her.
God, she looked good. It was impossible to see her in those professional clothes without thinking of howunprofessionalshe’d been with me, bare naked and on all fours in front of me in the back of my car, moans pouring from her mouth as I drove into her again and again, her ass shaking with each collision of our bodies.
Jose scrunched his brow before glancing back over his shoulder to see what it was I was looking at.
“Ah,” he said with a smile. “I see that you’re acquainted with my legal representation.”
“Your what?”
I didn’t get a chance to answer before Claire approached. She took off her sunglasses as she came to a stop next to us, giving us both a skeptical once-over.
“I’m Mr. Burciaga’s personal legal counsel,” she said, speaking to me as if I were some random interloper rather than a man she’d been as intimate with as a woman could be. I wasn’t bothered, of course. If anything, her cold, businesslike manner only made the thought of the sort of contrast she was capable of even hotter.
“That is correct,” Jose said. “Most pleased to have the brilliant and talented Ms. Murphy on my side.”
His words infuriated me. Knowing that Claire was working with someone as dangerous as Jose Burciaga…
Jose must’ve been able to tell that emotions had been stirred in me, an amused smile forming on his face.
“Well, I see that you both have business of your own to attend to. I won’t keep you. Until next time.” Jose tipped his hat before nodding in the direction of his guards. The trio made their way to a long, sleek luxury car that awaited them nearby, Jose and his crew stepping in, the car soon taking off down the road.
The anger returned as soon as he was gone. I took Claire by her upper arm and pulled her along with me.
“Hey!” she shouted. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
She tried to shake herself free, but it didn’t do her any good. She might’ve been strong willed, but her physical strength was far less than mine. I said nothing as I dragged her along, leading her to a small corner park whose trees appeared to offer a bit of privacy.
“If you don’t let go of me I swear to God I’ll put one of my car keys through your fucking eyeball!”
I stopped, turning to Claire and looking her in the eyes. As I did, as I realized just how angry she was, I stopped for a moment to compose myself. There was no doubt in my mind that she would absolutely be the type to plunge a key into the eye of any man stupid enough to touch her in a way she didn’t like.
“What’s the story, asshole?” she asked, shrugging my hand off her arm. “You think you can just grab me and yank me around wherever you want?”
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I shouldn’t have done that.”
I meant my words, and they seemed to mollify her somewhat. She sighed, looking away and shaking her head.
“Damn right you shouldn’t have,” she said. “Next step is for you to tell me why the hell you did it in the first place.”
Where to begin? “That man, Jose Burciaga. Are you really his attorney?”
“I am.”
“He’s dangerous,” I said. “Extremely dangerous. This is a matter of your personal safety.”
She regarded me with a hard expression, her mouth in a flat line.
