Shit.
“And I’m calling the cops!”
“Hang on.” I stick my hands out of the bathroom doorway first. “Don’t blow my fucking brains out, okay?”
Slowly I poke my head around the corner, where my eyes are instantly met by a furious and spooked Elsa. She’s not holding a gun, but she is pointing a can of pepper spray at me.
“That doesn’t look like a gun to me, Elsa.”
“No?” she spits venomously, still brandishing it.
“No. That’s false advertising.”
She squints at me. “How about I use it on you anyway, and you can file a complaint about false advertising afterward?”
“Nah, that’s okay.” My eyes drag from her cold, hazel gaze, to the nozzle of the pepper spray, still aimed at me. “Could you not point that at me?”
“Could you kindly explain what the fuck you’re doing in my office?”
Uh, not really.
I also don’t want to tell her I know about her double-crossing. Not yet. Not until I’ve backed her into a corner she’ll never get out of.
I step fully out of the bathroom, my hands still raised. “I was just dropping some paperwork off for Thermopylae Acquisitions.”
She turns, and for the first time, my eyes land on the three marks on her neck. Something savage growls inside of me—something hungry for more at the sight of my mark on her.
She’s obviously slapped concealer over them. But either from her run or because I bit and sucked too hard for them to be hidden away, they’re there for all the world to see.
And for me to remember. Which my cock instantly does.
“At seven-fifteen in the morning on a Saturday?” she sneers.
“Yep. Early riser.”
“So where are they?”
Well, this is unraveling quickly.
I grin. “Guess I forgot them in the car.”
“Right.”
Slowly, I lower my hands. Thankfully, Elsa also lowers her pepper spray. She also stiffens and very quickly zips her running top back up over the sports bra—high enough to cover her neck wounds.
“What were you doing in my private lavatory?”
“Taking a piss, what else?”
She wrinkles her nose. “Well, if you’re done breaking and entering—”
“I wasn’t breaking and entering.”
“My office door was locked last night.”
“Huh. Damn cleaners.”
She rolls her eyes.
