She sucked in a breath.
“But first…” I pecked my way up to her ear, loving the effect I was having on her. “I’m going to feed you.” Pulling away, I lifted her off the counter and took her hand in mine.
“Hey! I was enjoying that!”
I smiled, speaking with conviction, “Trust me, sweetheart. I’ve only just begun.”
Chapter Seven
—Caleb—
“Wow!” she exclaimed, sitting in my Audi. “This is some ride you have here. It goes from zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds.”
I started the car, and the engine purred to life, vibrating her entire body.
She beamed with adrenaline pumping wildly through her veins.
Easing my foot off the clutch, I popped the shifter into reverse and backed out of my condominium’s garage.
Quickly, I shifted through the gears, tearing down the street, showing her how fast this sports car could truly go. Once we got to the highway, I gunned it down the road, feeling her excitement beside me.
“That was awesome! I love this car!”
“Is that right?”
“Definitely. I hope to own one eventually.”
“And what does Evie Monroe want to do with her life?”
She turned to the side, laying her arm against the console to look at me.
“I want to be the boss.”
“The boss of what?”
“Well… I want to help people, so I was thinking maybe I’d open a recruiting agency.”
“That’s a lot of connections you’re going to need. Good thing I know a lot of people.”
She smiled, reading between the lines of my statement. “How did you become so successful so young?”
“My family is very wealthy. Old money. I knew if I wanted to get out from under their thumb, I’d need to do it on my own.”
“That’s very admirable. Most people in your position would just live off their parents or follow in the family business.”
“They have my brother for that.”
“I see. Do you get along with your family?”
“I do. I see them often. How about you?”
“I don’t really have any family other than my half-brother.”
“And it’s a secret that you have a half-brother?”
“For now. His mother doesn’t know that our father is a piece of shit and had a whole ass other family he was taking care of. I don’t talk to either of my parents. I refuse to be a pawn in their games.”
“I’m sorry to hear that, Evie.”
