Monroe.
I stood there in total shock for a moment, panicking a little like I needed to run away. But no—this was it—a chance to force a surprise meeting.
I pushed my way towards where she was bending to grab a fallen tray, desperate to get to her before anyone else.
I knelt down to grab the tray…and then she looked at me. And the whole world froze.
Of course, I’d been stealing glimpses of her every day, but being this close to her...
The effect was dizzying.
She was flawless, my every desire in one perfect package.
Up close, I could see she had a light scattering of freckles that peppered her nose and cheeks, and her stunning green eyes, like fresh wands of grass, were staring at me, wide-eyed and wondering.
Her lips were outrageously full and pink, the shape that the women in this room spent thousands on to try and achieve, never coming close to the perfect plumpness that called to me. My cock was on high alert, just staring at them.
You’re mine,something growled inside of me. The room felt like it was a hundred degrees. I was hungry and desperate, needing her with every cell in my body.
She was so damn…pretty.
“Let me get that for you,” I told her, and I saw when it hit her…that she knew me. There was a myriad of complicated emotions floating through her gaze, and I wanted to know every one of them.
She straightened, seeming a bit unsteady as she did so. I grabbed the tray and followed her…because I had no choice. I needed her.
“Oh, Mr. Daniels. You don’t need to get that. My employee was about to grab it—I’m so sorry for the inconvenience—I promise she’ll be dealt with.” A shrill voice assaulted my ear drums, but I ignored it for a moment. I just needed to look at her more, because I knew I’d never get my fill.
Whatever uniform she was wearing was hideous…and yet, she blew every polished and glittering person in this room away with it.
A pretty blush hit her cheeks, and I was desperate to know what had brought it on.
Was she attracted to me? Was she disappointed that I was her mystery guy? It was amazing how this girl could tie me up into a million knots of self-doubt, when I’d never experienced such a thing before.
“Monroe!” the voice snarled again, and I glared at the offending woman, feeling a bit rabid that she would dare talk to my girl like that. “Let go of Mr. Daniels, right now!”
Glancing down, I saw that she’d grabbed onto me, and the rush of possessiveness that gripped me by the balls at that moment…
She tried to move, but I immediately grabbed her hand, desperate to keep her touch.
Desperate.
The word was on replay in my head; it was the only way to describe the fervor that beat like a drum roll in my soul from the second I saw her picture.
“I need to talk to Monroe for a few minutes,” I said, unable to look anywhere but at her gorgeous features.
“Well—” the crone began…
I threw some bills at her, not caring one way or the other how much I’d just given her. I needed more. More time. More everything….
“Come with me,” I asked, although it came out more as an order, because I wasn’t sure I could deal with it if she tried to leave me right now. And that wouldn’t be good for my plans if she saw how over-the-top crazy I was for her.
Already…
CHAPTER 12
MONROE
He didn’t let go of me once as he all but dragged me into the back hallway, growling when he saw how many people were there. Abruptly changing directions, we made our way through a few more twists and turns until we were completely alone.
