“I’m hanging up.”

“Let me—”

I hang up, my eyes closing as I try to cool off.

He’s so fucking intense.

I love it.

I smile to myself as my phone chimes.

Asshole CFO: Let me get my fill. I need to taste you, Scarlet

Asshole CFO: I need to be inside of you

Scarlet: Tonight

I could easily let him consume me right now, but I know I need to be careful with my heart. No matter how good it feels to be in his grasp.

Asshole CFO: Now

Asshole CFO: Fast and hard

Asshole CFO: I want to be buried so deep inside of you it fucking hurts

“Sorry, Scar. I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.”

I fumble my phone and drop it as Nina yanks open the door and slides into the car. She reaches for my phone, and I snatch it away.

“Thanks!” I say quickly with an over-the-top smile.

I lock the screen and toss it in the centre console of my Audi.

Nina leans against the door, her eyes closing. “I feel terrible today, and I have to go and look at a potential studio with Maggie.”

“Maggie is Lucy’s mum, right?”

“Yep.”

“You’ll be fine. Are you going to speak to Mason?”

She opens her eyes and sighs. “I tried last night, but I was tipsy, and we both ended up being dicks about the photos Joey took of me dancing. We’re toxic with a capitalT, but I’m ruined for any other man. Like, nothing comes after your brother.”

“I beg to differ,” I tell her with a smirk. “But maybe you just need some time.”

“A lifetime.”

I smile and head toward the main road, noticing my petrol light blinking at me to get some fuel. “Be patient with him. Mase will get there.”

And I mean it. With the way Mason has been these past few weeks, I can see him finding his own happiness again eventually.

Nina twists her neck, a smile full of warmth tugging at her lips. “I know. And then I’ll send him your way.”

The roads are quiet as we head into the city, and I manage to drop Nina off before midday. I’m climbing back into the Audi with all intentions of going straight home when my phone chimes.

I ignore it, sliding into the driver’s seat.

It pings again.
