“What do you want to talk about?”
She looks at the monitor and watches her son with the softest expression, full of love. I could imagine her looking at me the same way, and my stomach clenches at the thought, and so does my… cock.Get a grip, Kalum.
I have sworn off marriage. Aura was the only woman I could ever see marrying, but I let her go when news broke that she married Lane. She didn’t have a wedding or grand affair. It was released by the racing world that the great Lane Turner married the love of his life. I knew I never stood a chance. When it was announced they were waiting for the birth of their first child, I saw my chances evaporate into thin air and decided that it wasbest to move on. It didn’t thwart my plans on getting back at my parents for what they had done to her.
To me.
To us.
It was their fault for kicking her out of my life. I was eighteen and dependent on my inheritance and thrust into my family’s expectations. I would have given it all up for her, but I was still in high school, and when I graduated, Aura’s best friend Exie told me that Aura was fine and in love with her brother. It was a blow I never expected. Aura never returned my calls or sent a text. I knew there was no way I could get her back or offer her the life Lane could. Even if her happiness wasn’t with me, I loved her enough to let her go and be happy with him. She deserved to be loved by a man who would do anything for her after the loss of her beloved parents.
She takes a deep breath. “I know that you feel I need to stay with you, and I get it, but we can’t stay with you here.”
“Why?” I ask.
I know they feel uncomfortable, but I want details, so I can rectify them. I want them to feel relaxed for a little while until things die down, and she can go back and raise her son. She is grieving. She needs time to think about what she wants out of life and what she wants to do, and I have a company to run, business deals to make, and money to be made. I have way more than I need, but my purpose is to make even more. It is selfish to want more money, but I have my reasons.
She scans my office. Her eyes meet mine, and I try not to make it obvious that I’m aware of her sexually. If the circumstances were different, I would swipe everything off this desk, lay her flat on her back, and bury my face between her thighs, reminding me of how she tasted when she came on my lips the first time. It thrilled me to know I was the first to taste her sweet pussy. There has never been a woman who has evertasted as good as Aura. Believe me, I have tried to find one, but nada.
“Your apartment is nice but not a place for LJ. He loves to play with his toys, which are basically cars with tracks. Toys would damage your pristine floors, and the furniture is not the kind to have a five-year-old sit on. I would basically have to tell him to stick to playing and eating on the floor.”
“You would do no such thing. I won’t allow it. He isn’t a dog but a child.”
She gives me a small grin. “I’m glad you agree with me and understand. I’ll call an Uber, and we will be on our way.”
She moves to stand. I frown, and panic begins to take ahold of me. She’s leaving?
“Wait…you can’t leave… I understand.”
Her brows rise, and I glance at the monitor, watching her son slide the cars on the marble. Looking through their eyes, I’m sure their home is equipped for children to play with and a kitchen to make cupcakes and popcorn. I get it. She wants to feel comfortable and for her son to feel comfortable under the circumstances.
“I have an idea.”
I don’t, but I will. I can’t watch her leave. Lane wanted me to watch over her upon his death; His lawyer gave the rundown that there will be a letter to be delivered before the year is out. Why? I have no clue, but Lane was a strategic son of a bitch.
We were friends in high school, but not best friends like Cason or Brian, with whom I still keep in touch. We respected each other, and I knew he would be good for Aura.
“What idea is that?”
“You could stay in my house. It would be better than staying here. A good place for LJ and for you. No one can bother you there and you will have security at all times. You won’t evenknow that they are there.” I take a deep breath. “If they know you are not at your main home, they won’t go looking for you there.”
She nods. “How long? He doesn’t need to be frightened by all the media and cameras or his grandparents imposing and making demands. Lane never had us in the limelight, and we preferred to keep our personal lives as private as possible.”
“I know.”
I do know. Aura was never at public events, which sparked controversy as to why Lane Turner always hid his family and never took them to any races involving his builds. Now she is on every page and social media news outlet as the woman who inherited everything from her late husband. Car manufacturers and racing companies will hound her to sell her rights to his builds and his cars to include his patents on certain tech for imported vehicles. His cars are probably worth more than his company, and she owns them all. Lane’s family has connections and will do anything to take them from her.
“Until it all dies down, and they all back off. I will be there to guide you and protect you and LJ. Nothing will happen to you and no one will pressure you to do anything you don’t want.”
“Okay. I just need to get my things in order and a car to be brought up to your house. Lane needs to be with all the things he is familiar with.”
“I took the liberty of bringing your things from the hotel.”
“How?” she asks.
“I own the hotel you are staying in.”
She rolls her eyes. “Naturally.”
