I frowned at him. I had to admit, I’d never shown any outward interest in Alana’s daily activities before now. But that was beside the point. ‘How long has she been going there?’
‘Since the day I started working for her.’
‘And that’s the only place you two go?’
‘No, Sir. Occasionally, she goes to the grocery store. And I’ve taken her to the beauty salon a couple of times too.’
I stood up and walked around the desk. ‘On your knees,’ I barked.
He looked at me, his jaw clenched shut, but he complied. I pulled my gun from its holster and held it to his temple, pressing the cold steel against his skin.
He still didn’t flinch, but I saw the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
‘Do you realize how lucky you are to still be breathing right now? When Amelia Grant told me that Alana hadn’t been to any of her liquid lunches, and I knew that you and my wife had been disappearing for hours every day, you can imagine what I must have thought?’
I saw his Adam’s apple bob as he swallowed. ‘Yes, Sir.’
‘Are you fucking my wife, Cabrón?’ I growled as I pressed the metal barrel harder against his skin.
‘No, Sir.’
‘Do you want to?’
He licked his lips. ‘No, Sir.’
‘You understand that if I had even an ounce of doubt about that, I’d skin you alive and make her wear you as a coat, don’t you?’
‘Yes, Sir.’
I studied him as he knelt there, his face full of anger and defiance, and very little fear. He had balls of steel and I admired that about him.
I took the gun from his head and walked back around to my side of the desk. ‘Take a seat,’ I snapped and he stood up, brushing the creases from his suit pants before sitting down.
‘I’m not sure if I’m impressed by your loyalty to her, or completely pissed. But remember that while you protect my wife, you still work for me. You got that?’
‘Yes, Sir.’
‘If you ever keep something like this from me again, I won’t think twice about putting a bullet in your head.’
‘I won’t, Sir.’
‘You’re lucky she thinks so highly of you, or I’d have you on clean up duties for the rest of your life.’
‘I appreciate you not doing that, Boss,’ he said and it was understood that this was dealt with and we wouldn’t speak of it again.
‘Good, now get out of here or she’ll be wondering where you are.’
Hugo nodded and then he walked out of my office.
ALANA
I was reading in the den when I saw the text flashing up on the screen of my cell. It was from Alejandro, or The Devil, as I had him saved in my contacts.
I’ll be home in ten minutes. Remember my rule, princess.
I picked up my cell and frowned at the screen. Who the hell did he think he was, ordering me to wear no panties like I was some employee whose services he was paying for, rather than his wife?
Despite, my irritation, I felt the wetness pooling between my thighs already. Last night had been incredible. I had felt things that I didn’t even know how to explain.
