He laughs out loud as the elevator arrives at its destination and as we leave, I stare around in impressed awe.

“This place is amazing.” I say, my bad mood evaporating in an instant.

“It’s okay.” He shrugs. “Anyway, make yourself at home. I may be late.”

He laughs as if he’s a fucking comedian and heads back the way he came, and I really couldn’t care less. I need space between us to process what happened. My whole day turned to shit the minute he was waiting for me in that boardroom, and I honestly need this time to gather my dignity back around my soul.

I drop the wig and mask and prowl through his apartment, loving how tasteful it is. Chrome, mirrors, and fur, all blend together in a show of wealth only a man like him has the balls to flaunt.

I am high above the city, and I gaze down at the lights below, mindful of the people going about their business, oblivious to the sin and corruption surrounding them.

I take the opportunity to explore this space because I have never been in a penthouse before.

Much like its owner, the place is impersonal. No homey touches, just designed elegance that I’m guessing he had no part in.

As I wander through the rooms, I stare in wonder at a space so elegant I could die happy in here. I reach a bedroom that reeks of its owner and for some reason my heart flutters as I detect the aftershave that suits him so well.

I poke around in every drawer and cupboard, wandering into his closet and inhaling the masculine scent. It’s all around me. Power, influence, and decadence, mixed with sin and corruption. It smells like Shade Vieri.

I make my way into his bathroom and can’t resist stepping into the walk-in shower, turning on the jets and allowing myself to lose myself in pleasure. This place is a dream and I deserve it after the nightmare I stumbled into and, as I scrub my body, I note the evidence he’s planted on me. Angry red marks that pucker the white skin. Scratches and bruises from his rough handling. My pussy is throbbing both from overuse and desire and I hate that I can’t shake his description from my mind.

What would it be like to be part of a fantasy like that? He made it sound so appealing, even though I’d rather die than do something so shameless.

As I rub my body, I fantasize about it instead, loving how this is my own personal dream that will never be discovered.

This time I orgasm at my own hand, and it makes me laugh as I clean up, knowing he has lost control of me.

I must be delirious, high on adrenalin and so hungry food is my number one priority right now. It appears that you can’t live on hot sex alone, so I towel myself off and head back into the main living area and spying a phone, I lift the receiver.

“How may I assist you?”

The voice on the other end is quick to respond and I say falteringly, “Um, may I order a Caesar salad please and a bottle of red? Perhaps a steak too, medium and some fries. Oh, do you have any cheesecake? That would be good, possibly a pie even. Cherry perhaps.”

“Anything else, madam?”

“What do you suggest?”

I’m interested in what’s on offer and she says without missing a beat,“A service perhaps. Massage, nails, or a facial. We have an experienced team on hand to cater for anything.”

I bet they do. I roll my eyes and say with a wicked smile, “A massage sounds good. You could send them up before I eat. Say, deliver the food in one hour when I’ll be completely relaxed.”

“Of course. Anything else, madam?”

“No. Oh, and please charge it to Mr. Vieri.”

“Of course.”She says, as if that was a given and as I drop the phone, I feel a shiver of devilish delight pass through me.

I may be here against my will, but I’m going to make the most of every single second of it.

CHAPTER30

SHADE

Ihad to get away from her. She is confusing me, and I need to get my head straight.

Kyle is waiting and we head to my office, and I pour us both a shot of bourbon and groan.

“Fuck. What a day.”
