“Do you think you could sway your ass a little less in that skirt? My dick would really appreciate it.”
Paige grinned, looking over her shoulder as we walked into my office. “Never bothered you before.”
The last four weeks flew by with Paige by my side. If she thought I was being protective before her stalker made his presence known, she had another thing coming. Now I was adamant about keeping her next to me at all times.
Her stalker took it upon himself to begin following us around, leaving trails of pictures, which were getting more and more disturbing as the weeks continued. Intimate photos where he’d have to be close to us. It wasn’t just my face he was cutting out. It was hers now too.
Along with video footage of us at random spots and these fucked up letters. The motherfucker had a funeral arrangement of flowers delivered to our hotel last week with Paige’s name on them. Things were becoming so bad I had to hire a security team to be with us twenty-four seven. I couldn’t take the chance of something happening to her on my watch.
I was at my wit’s end trying to find out who was doing this to her. I hired several PIs to find this piece of shit. It started to affect me in ways I didn’t see coming. The thought of something happening to her consumed my mind, interfering with my daily tasks and what needed to get done.
We were back in Kentucky for a few days. I had to make sure things were good to go on a couple of projects I had in the wings. My temper was constantly on edge, snapping at not only my employees, but Paige as well.
“Where are the numbers for tomorrow’s meeting?”
“On your desk.”
I glanced over at Paige. Her desk was in the corner of my office suite.
“It’s not here.”
“It is,” she bit in a tone I didn’t appreciate. “I put it there last night when we left at three a.m.”
“What’s with the attitude?”
“No attitude, Mr. Drake.”
“Mr. Drake?” I leaned back into my leather chair, crossing my arms over my chest. “You only call me that when you’re pissed at me. What did I do too much of or not enough of for you now?”
“Nothing, Mr. Drake. I have a full day ahead of me and you’re breaking my concentration with your constant questions.”
“Paige, look at me.”
She did with an annoyed expression taking up residence on her face.
“You’re obviously pissed. You either tell me willingly or I’ll get it out of you one way or another.”
“I told you I’m fine.”
“Fine means you want my balls.”
“Don’t talk to me like I’m a child.”
“Stop acting like one and I won’t.”
“Oh, I’m the child? You’re the one who’s constantly playing games, Mr. Drake.”
“Enough with the Mr. Drake bullshit, Cherry. Open your mouth and speak to me.”
“I am! Can’t you see my lips moving?’
I rubbed the back of my neck, a headache looming. “I don’t have time for this.”
“You never have time for anything. Yet you ride my ass about everything.”
