Her reasoning for taking my money has me holding in a burst of laughter. But it’s what she does to my body that has me wanting to fall for it. “Try again.”
“I was putting it back,” she says. “I swear it”
“You gotta do better than that.”
She bites her lower lip and I can see the wheels in her head spinning. “I’ll do anything if you don’t call the cops. Anything.”
Suddenly, the image of stepladders and her on her knees and the three platforms at Club Voyeur come to mind, and I come to a sudden realization. The lack of satisfaction in everything began the day Andie intruded on my life. Nothing gave me the same thrill it once had. Not fighting, or beating up some dickwad. Not even Club Voyeur.
But I find the idea of Anderson tied and naked, her breasts flushed the way they were that day in my office, very thrilling. In fact, I’d say it’s fucking addictive.
I can’t help it when my lips pull up in a grin. “Miss Burrows, it will take more than just anything to keep you out of jail. It will take everything.”

Anderson. Andie.
She stares at me with those big blue eyes that make my balls tighten. Her breaths quicken and she licks her lower lip, further torturing me.
She’s nervous as she obviously goes over my words again and again, working through the meaning of them. Two lines form between her brows as she mulls over the possibilities. But she doesn’t want to jump to the conclusion even though I’m doing nothing to hide it from my gaze.
“What do you want?” she finally asks.
“What do you think, Andie?” I tilt my head and allow my eyes to trail down her body once more. “I’d really like to hear your guess.”
“A favor.”
I chuckle. “Men who can do much more for me than you owe me favors. Tell me what you truly think I want from?—”
“Sex. You want to fuck me.” She glances toward the bed behind me.
My lips pull up and I lower the gun. “Come with me.”
Tossing the cash onto the dresser as we pass it, I guide her into my office. I circle my desk and motion to the chair across from me. When we’re both seated, I take my time observing her. It’s both a tactic to make her nervous, and an opportunity to enjoy her beauty. Like a scared little rabbit about to get devoured by a lion, she can’t do anything but let it happen.
Fuck, I can practically see the vein in her throat pulsating with the wild beat of her heart. It makes me want to lick her there. Maybe even bite her.
To my surprise, she speaks. “Mr. Alexander, please let me apologize for taking your money.”
“Don’t tell me you’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve seen your record.”
She blinks and swallows. “That was a long time ago. I did it to survive.”
“And now? How long have you been planning this?”
Peering at her lap where she’s wringing her hands, she shakes her head. “It was an impulse.”
“An impulse? Yet somehow you knew exactly where to find cash. Fuck, even I didn’t know there was anything there.”
“I’ve been storing it,” she admits. “It’s money I find in your laundry.”
“You mean, you’ve been saving it for yourself.”
“No!” She lifts her gaze to me indignantly. “I swear, I meant to tell you about it. To show you how something you don’t even miss could change someone’s life. But then my car broke down and I… I used the rent money to fix it and Lola’s clothes are so old… It seemed easy. I was going to pay you back, I was.”
“Bullshit.” I slam my fist against the desk and she jumps.
