I’m about give him a nasty reply, when Axle, or Rowan’s “secretary,” as I’ve come to think of him, hands him something to sign. My curiosity has me shutting up before a word comes out.
This is Rowan in administrative mode. He’s even pulled his hair back into a low ponytail and rolled up the sleeves of his button-up shirt.
Axle takes the signed paper, then places a tablet in front of him. “And I need your authorization to transfer the funds to Falcon.”
Falcon? The name sounds familiar. Better yet, important. So I step closer, intent on their conversation.
Rowan scans the electronic document. “We agreed to two million up front. The rest when the shipment arrives safely.”
“His new terms…” Axle shuts his eyes for a moment before continuing, and I realize he’s working through a stutter. “New terms after he heard about Gideon’s heists.”
“How does he know we suspect Gideon?” Rowan slams his palm onto the desk.
“Who’s Falcon and what does he have to do with Gideon?” I move around the desk and try to peek at the contract. “And what are you buying?”
Rowan gives Axle the tablet back before I can see anything. “It’s McKenzie business.”
“According to you, I’m a McKenzie now. So it’smybusiness.”
Sitting back in his chair, he regards me as if he’s not sure how much to share.
I move closer, until my knees graze his, and lean on his desk. Tilting my head, I run my fingers over the edge of my décolletage, the way I’ve seen Mom do many times when she wants something out of Papá. It’s always disgusted me how easily he caves.
But I learned.
Rowan’s pupils dilate as his gaze trails down to my cleavage, his nostrils immediately flaring.
And he starts to talk. “Falcon is a new partner of mine from Mexico.”
“What are you getting from him?” I continue nonchalant. “Marijuana? Fentanyl?”
His lips pull up. “Coke.”
“You mean he’s a distributor?”
Rowan reaches for me, tugging me down until I straddle his lap. “I know what you’re doing, Lou.”
“What am I doing?”
“You’re trying to confuse me with your body. Sorry to tell you, princess.” His warm palms slide under my shirt and up my back, heating me instantly. “It will take a lot more than a little knee rub for me to talk.”
“Excuse me. I’ll bring this back later.” Axle collects his things and disappears, closing the door behind him.
Pressing myself onto Rowan’s hard bulge, I wrap my arms around his neck and bring my mouth close to his. “I’d like to help you with the business.”
“Is that so?” He runs the tip of his tongue over my lower lip.
“It will keep me from getting bored.”
“I know something else that can keep you busy if that’s what you’re looking for.” He crushes me to him in a kiss that ignites me instantly.
Flames erupt between us and quickly build to a wildfire, eradicating all thoughts of anything but him.
Without breaking the kiss, he seeks the hem of my blouse and lifts it over my chest. Only then does he drop his head, kissing his way down my chin and throat.
Then his mouth and his teeth are on the swells of my breasts and he breathes in the scent of my skin. I shamelessly heave them into his face, wanting him to take more of me. Wanting him to consume me. I hook my index finger into the band of his ponytail and release his hair just so I can get fistfuls of it.
When he tugs down the bra and takes hold of my nipples, I cry out in bliss.
