Not caring that it’s only three in the afternoon, I grab a bottle of wine and forgo the glass to enjoy during my soak. The scalding hot water feels amazing as I slide my aching body into the water. Sipping from my bottle, I try to enjoy the book I’ve been reading, but I’m too consumed with the unknown man that stepped from my nightmares and into my life.

ANDRES
Ryder has only half-held my attention throughout our meeting; my thoughts entirely focused on Alexys. I nearly check out when she sends the video of her sucking my cum from her finger.
“Care to share what keeps popping up on your phone?” Ryder teases as I watch her video loop through a second time. “I can practically hear your cock hitting the underside of your desk, so it must be good.”
“Fuck off,” I jokingly hiss at him.
“So, it’s serious?” He cocks an eyebrow.
Serious? No.
Fucking fatal? Yes.
“Forget about the agreements of our meeting,” I stand from my desk, “I tend not to enjoy working with assholes.”
Ryder laughs, “Your whole fucking world is full of assholes. Most of who would happily remove your head if they were having a bad day.”
Not lies.
“I don’t have anywhere to be until much later this evening; want to grab a drink? Celebrate this new business arrangement between the Diaz Cartel and the Masters of Mayhem?” I question, trying to find a way to bide some time before I visit Alexys.
“I mean,” he peaks around me toward Alexys’s empty desk, “I was kind of hoping to grab a drink with that gorgeous, curvy assistant of yours. Maybe get her to come back to the clubhouse for the night.”
“Don’t even fucking think about it,” I snarl at him, eliciting a cheeky smirk.
“I’m going to raincheck on the drink, I have church I need to get back for. We’ll celebrate after this shipment goes off without a hitch,” he says as we walk to my office door, “but be sure to tell that sexy little thing I said hi when you see her later.”
“Get the fuck out of my office,” I lightly push him out the door. Ryder is a complete pain in the ass, but there’s no arguing that he is smart and observant as fuck. It took him no time at all to figure out that I’m fucking Lex.
Closing my office door, I take care of some mundane work before giving Alejandro a call to bring him up to speed on the agreement with Ryder and the Masters of Mayhem MC. In exchange for use of his guys at the port, he wants exclusive distribution rights for his satellite clubs upstate.
“We have no arrangements with anyone up that way,” Alejandro tells me through the phone, “Might piss off the local guys, but we can handle that.”
“That was my thought, too.”
“And that other issue?” he questions and I know he’s referring to Benecio.
“Sent back to Mexico in a gift box, complete with pretty bow.”
“Good,” his tone is all business, “I’ll be back tomorrow in plenty of time for the upcoming delivery.”
“Sounds good, brother. Tell that gorgeous redhead of yours I said hello.”
“Fuck the meeting I was setting up next week for a CFO, we’re going to focus on getting you your own woman, so you can stop fucking flirting with mine,” he half jests. He’s possessive as fuck about Isabella, but, even before Alexys, that is not a line I would ever think about crossing.
“Working on it,” I mumble.
“Don’t think we aren’t talking about that when I get back,” he chodes as I hear Isabella’s voice in the background before he abruptly ends the call.
Hanging up the phone, I turn to the windows to find the skyline outside is dark. Even the lights in many of the surrounding buildings are out. Glancing at the clock, it’s late. But it’s never too late to drive across town to check in on my queen.
The lights in her apartment are out when I pull up to her building, and at this hour, I figured she would be fast asleep. Quietly letting myself into her apartment, I stop at the door to remove my shoes and pull on my mask before heading into her bedroom.
Her hair is splayed across her pillow and partially covers the peaceful look on her face. One of her legs is draped over the blanket, and I can barely pull my eyes from her smooth skin.
