“Yeah.” He’s still studying me as my phone buzzes in my pocket.
I pull it out and check the message.
Jasmin’s not gone to the hairdresser’s today like I heard her tell Rose this morning. We went for a run together, like we often do, and she acted like nothing was out of the ordinary. My own fucking sister lied to my face. And then lied to Rose’s.
Because the location ping I just got on the fleet car she’s using today is nowhere near her fucking hairdresser’s in town.
And I’d bet a thousand times the amount of crack in this basement that wherever it is she’s really gone to today, there’s a person there called fucking Alistair.
I’m swirling the clear liquid around in my glass, sitting in my chair, staring out the giant, ornate windows in my office.
Watching the driveway outside.
Waiting.
Jasmin will be back soon. She’s been out at a meeting with a couple who want to host their wedding on the estate. We’ve told them it’s not an option and that the estate isn’t even licensed to hold ceremonies. But the guy is loaded and doesn’t seem used to being told no. Jasmin can hold her own though. She won’t give him anything more than she’s willing to. I guess we’re alike in that way. Always keeping some cards close to our chest.
But I’m getting closer to seeing her hand.
And I don’t like what I’ve managed to find out over the past couple of days.
She’s definitely seeing someone. And I don’t buy for a second that this guy, Alistair, is merely a business contact. I get that I’m the over-protective big brother. But what I don’t get, is why she’s so hell-bent on keeping him a secret.
What’s she fucking scared of? She knows one strike and I could get my ass slung back in jail. And she knows my weakness is protecting her. Her... and Rose.
If she’s keeping this guy a secret, then there’s a reason. She thinks I could lose my head over her being with him. And that only feeds the demon inside me. Because she’s right to be worried. All the gong baths and breathing in the world couldn’t quell the rage that would explode out of me if Jasmin or Rose were in danger.
“Hey.” Vanilla wrapped in petals surrounds me as Rose leans around the back of the chair and slips an arm around my neck. She kisses me on the cheek. “You’re so far away, you didn’t even hear me come in.”
I sigh, sinking into the chair as she comes around the front, her blue eyes finding mine.
“Hey, Sunbeam.” I smile, my eyes dropping over her legs in her short dress appreciatively. “You come to talk figures with me?”
She has a manilla folder in one hand.
“I did.” She walks over to my desk and places the folder on top, then comes back to stand in front of me. “But it can wait. You want to tell me why you look so serious?”
“It’s nothing. Just wondering how Jasmin’s getting on at the meeting. The guy… he’s persistent.”
“Uh-huh.” Rose drops to her knees on the cream carpet in front of me, parting my legs so she can slide between them. “And it wouldn’t have anything to do with the other man? The one who called her at your apartment Friday night? Alistair, wasn’t it?”
I meet her eyes, and one corner of her mouth lifts.
“I know you worry about her. She’s lucky to have a big brother who looks out for her.”
Rose gathers her long blonde hair into a high ponytail and wraps a band around it.
“But I don’t like how stressed you’ve been all weekend.” She licks her lips and reaches for my belt buckle.
“What are you doing?” I hold her eyes as she unzips my pants and pulls the fabric down, taking my cock out. I suck in a breath as she wraps her hand around it and squeezes gently.
“I’m just helping you relax. You always help me. Now it’s my turn.”
“Rose—”
The low groan from deep in my chest as she wraps her soft lips around me and takes me into her warm, silky little mouth, sends a vibration running through my entire body.
I lean back in the chair as she sucks my now rock-hard cock into her mouth, her eyes glittering up at me.
