The call connected, but all I heard was shuffling, then a muffled curse before her musical voice came on the line. “Hey. Sorry. I was in the shower and didn’t hear the phone. And when I came out and it rang again, I couldn’t find it.”

My mouth went dry, and I lost the ability to speak, picturing her wet and naked.

“Liam? You there?”

“I’m here. Imagining all the things I would do to you if I was with you.”

“Yeah? What things?”

I leaned back in my chair with a groan. “You’re killing me.” All I could see were her endless curves. Her rosy nipples. Her velvet skin.

“Whoops, I dropped the towel.” Her voice was husky, and my pants were suddenly too tight.

I shifted, unable to relieve the pressure. “Quinn,” I growled, unable to keep the longing at bay.

“Yes, Liam?” the little minx replied, lighting my body on fire.

Hitting the Speaker button, I dropped my phone on the desk, my hands trembling too much with pent-up desire to be able to hold it any longer. Besides, I wanted my hands free for what was about to happen.

I was painfully hard. She was the only one who was able to affect me like this without even having to touch me, let alone be in the same room with me.

“The sheets feel heavenly against my skin. Almost as good as your hands trailing over my body.”

My legs parted farther, and I freed myself, then leaned forward as if getting closer to the phone would get me closer to Quinn. I was light-headed, the room going in and out of focus. I craved her next words, needed to hear them as much as I needed to breathe.

A knock on the door made my hand still, and a frustrated groan left my lips. “What?” I barked at whoever was interrupting my time with Quinn.

“Showtime.”

Gabriel’s voice was enough to kill my desire.

Since Quinn was on speaker, she’d heard him, her choppy inhales sounding through the phone. “You have to go?”

“I’m so sorry. My brother has always had shitty timing.”

Her laugh was raspy, the arousal in her voice not helping my situation. Closing my pants, I took a breath to center myself. “I miss you.”

What the hell? I’ve never told anyone I missed them.

“I miss you too.” Her immediate answer created an unfamiliar warm feeling in my chest.

I’m in so much trouble.

“I’ll call you later.”

“Later.”

I stood up and pulled my suit back in place before leaving my office. Gabriel was leaning against the wall, typing on his phone when I came out.

He didn’t look up but fell in step beside me. “The Russians want to meet at The Sparrow.”

“Where’s Jude?”

We stepped into the garage, Gabriel picking the Bentley. It was bulletproof and comfortable, so for once I didn’t argue with his choice.

My men would already be waiting in their cars in the driveway, ready to follow us.

“Hunting down a lead. He thinks he found the location of the guy who paid the hitman.”
