I told her, "I'm going to need to search you to make sure you didn't take anything from my office."
"Oh?" Her brows arched as if she found this amusing. She held out her arms.
I chuckled, shaking my head at her eagerness to comply. "Not like that," I said, grinning. "I need to do a thorough search. Strip down. Now."
She didn't hesitate, quickly removing her dress and standing before me in nothing but the lacy black thong. I loved her confidence.
I took my time inspecting her, running my hands over every inch of her body, feeling the smoothness of her skin and the curves of her hips. My cock throbbed with desire.
But I couldn't let myself get distracted. I had a job to do. I checked every pocket, every seam, and every fold of her clothing. When I was satisfied that she hadn't taken anything, I turned my attention to her body.
I ran my hands over her breasts, feeling the weight of them in my palms. She gasped as I pinched her nipples, a flush spreading across her chest. I moved my hands down to her waist, pulling her closer to me, as she bit her lower lip. My hands trailed down to her hips, then I gripped them tightly.
Her need for me was evident when her body pressing against mine, her breath coming in hot, ragged gasps. I leaned in, brushing my lips against her ear. "For what it’s worth… I’m sorry about the cage. I’ll choose a different punishment next time.”
Usually when I used the wordpunishment, she rolled her eyes and made it clear that she thought I was ridiculous.
But now, her lips met mine in another soft, hesitant kiss. She was obviously wild for me too, but she wasn't ready tonight.
I stepped back, picking up her dress and helping her slip back into it.
“Good night.”
“Good night.” She bobbed up onto her toes and pressed a quick kiss to my cheek. The affectionate motion surprised me more than the wild teasing in the pool or just now; there was something about it that felt like it was a reflection of how she felt, instead of her taking what she wanted.
I could still feel her lips against my cheek when she went into her room. A few seconds later, Xander’s door opened, and I stepped back into the shadows.
He knocked, gripping his own keys, and when she called back to him through the door, he let himself in. He dropped the keys on the ground before he shut them both inside.
Jealousy engulfed me, but I blew out a slow breath. I didn’t own her. She couldn’t truly be mine anyway.
This was all just a game.
CHAPTER12
Selena
Xander had comeinto my room the night before and then just…fallen asleep.
As I woke up, I stared at him. He’d fallen asleep so effortlessly last night, as if he didn’t have a care in the world, as if there was zero chance someone would invade the house and murder us all.
And my breathing had slowly come to match his, and my eyes had drifted closed, and I’d only just woken now to study the hard angles of his face in the soft morning light.
No nightmares. I felt better rested than I had in the morning for as long as I could remember, and I stretched, enjoying the lazy, relaxed sensation in my limbs and the clarity in my mind.
A knock on the door had me out of bed and moving.
Dominic filled up the door when he swung it open. He saw Xander sleeping in my bed and his decision not to say a word was written across his face as his gaze swung back to mine.
“He just slept here,” I said.
“Whatever you want, little bird,” Dominic said. “Aiden told me to take you wherever you wanted today. He’s got to help Daddy with some errands. But I’m all yours.”
Whatever you want. I’m all yours.
The words echoed in my brain and I shook them away. “I need you to get me access to a bank’s network. I need to plug that USB stick into a computer on their network and my code will do the rest of the work.”
Aiden had confiscated the USB stick he’d let me use last night, but I’d bet Aiden had filled Dominic in. At least Aiden seemed willing to help me as long as I helped him.
