Joella’s POV

Why didn’t I put it on silent? Who doesn’t put their phone on silent in a business meeting? Me. Apparently me. Joella Smith, finance genius, spy failure.

The man stopped talking.

Silence.

Then I heard his chair roll back.

I didn’t wait. I declined the call, shoved the phone against my chest, turned around, and started walking away. Fast. As fast as I could without running, my heels clicking way too loud on the floor.

“Hey!” His voice behind me. “Hey! Stop!”

I didn’t stop.

“Miss! Wa

    Joella’s POVCallum had said that. On the roof. The first night. You taste like honey.Two brothers. Same words. Same face.And I wanted both of them so badly it scared me.Cavern didn’t know what he had said. He didn’t know why I had gone still. He just stroked his thumb along my jaw, gentle, and looked at me like I was the only person in the room.“What is it?” he asked quietly.“Nothing,” I whispered.And then, because I couldn’t stop myself, I kissed him again.We left Eleni’s with two containers of leftovers I didn’t ask for, a bag of honey cookies “for the brother who eats like a horse,” and a hug so tight it cracked my back.Eleni held on to me at the door. Then she pulled back, grabbed my face with both hands the way she had grabbed Cavern’s, and looked into my eyes.“You come back,” she said. “With him or without him. You come back.”“I will,” I said. And I meant it.She let go of my face and turned to Cavern. She pointed one floury finger at his chest.“And you. You are care

    Joella’s POVHe grabbed my wrist under the table. Not hard. Just firm. He held my hand still against him, and he turned his head and looked at me, and the look in his eyes made my whole body go hot all over again. Dark. Hungry. Promising.“Keep going,” he said quietly, “and I will take you into Eleni’s back storeroom and bend you over a sack of flour.”My breath caught.“You wouldn’t.”“Try me.”I thought about it. Really thought about it. For a whole second.Then Daphne came around the pillar with our plates and I yanked my hand back so fast I knocked over the olives.“Lamb with potatoes!” she said cheerfully, setting it down. “And pastitsio for Cavern. Oh no, the olives! Don’t worry, I’ll get more.”“Thank you,” Cavern said, his voice a little rougher than before.She left. I picked olives up off the table with shaking fingers. Shaking for a completely different reason now. Cavern watched me with that dark, amused look, and I refused to look back at him.The lamb was the best thing

    Joella’s POV“And for you?” Daphne turned to me with her pen ready.I opened the menu. The words swam. Cavern’s fingers were drawing slow, lazy circles on my inner thigh. Higher. Then higher. Spreading my knees apart with gentle pressure until my thighs opened for him under the table.“Um,” I said. “What do you recommend?”“The moussaka is Yiayia’s specialty. The lamb is amazing. The chicken souvlaki is really popular too.”His fingertips brushed the front of my panties.I gripped the menu so hard the laminated corner bent.“The lamb,” I said. My voice came out too high.“Rice or potatoes?”He pressed. Right there. Two fingers through the thin fabric, right over my clit, and he rubbed one slow, firm circle.“Potatoes,” I squeaked.Cavern coughed into his free hand. I knew that cough. That was a laugh wearing a disguise.“And to drink?”He rubbed another circle. Slower. I could feel how wet I was. I knew he could feel it too, through the fabric, because his fingers paused and his breat

    Joella’s POV“No.” I looked at his shoulders, at the way the suit stretched across his chest. I remembered how that chest looked bare, in his bedroom, with the little tattoo over his heart. I remembered how it felt pressed against my back. “Definitely not.”“Careful, Ember.” His knee pressed harder against mine. “We just got here.”I reached for my water to cool down.That was when I noticed my hand was shaking.Not a little. A lot. The water sloshed. I set the glass down before I spilled it and stared at my own fingers like they belonged to someone else. I pressed them flat against the table. They kept trembling.What the hell?Then the rest of my body joined in.My knees started shaking under the table. My chest got tight. My breath went short and fast. And it all came back at once. The hallway. The man’s voice. My stupid ringtone screaming in the silence. Hey! Stop! Footsteps behind me. The elevator doors closing just in time. His pale, angry face behind the glass.He chased me.A

    Joella’s POVThe car stopped twenty minutes later.I looked out the window and blinked.I had been expecting something fancy. White tablecloths. Waiters in black vests. Menus with no prices on them. The kind of restaurant men like Cavern took people to so they could feel small. That was what I had pictured the whole ride, while his fingers were laced through mine and his thumb kept stroking the inside of my wrist like he was counting my pulse.This was not that.We were in Queens. On a narrow street with laundry hanging from a fire escape and an old man sweeping the sidewalk in front of a bakery. In front of us was a tiny restaurant squeezed between a shoe repair shop and a nail salon. The sign above the door was faded blue and white, with a few letters missing. It said ELENI’S in big curly writing, and under it, smaller, GREEK KITCHEN.There was a cat sleeping in the front window.An actual cat.I turned to Cavern. “Is this a joke?”“No.”“You eat here?”“Every chance I get.”“Cavern

    Joella’s POV“Check your phone,” I said, quieter. “I sent you the recording.”He looked at me for a long moment. And the look on his face. I couldn’t read it at first. Surprised. Yes. His eyebrows were up, his lips slightly parted. But there was something else too. Something in his eyes that looked a lot like awe.Like he was impressed. Really impressed. Like he couldn’t believe me.“He chased you,” he repeated slowly.“Yes.”“Down a hallway.”“Yes.”“And you recorded him.”“Yes. Can you please just check your phone?”He took out his phone. Opened my message. He saw DON’T SIGN ANYTHING in capital letters and the corner of his mouth twitched. Then he pressed play and held the phone up between us.The man’s voice filled the car.…As long as Kingston signs before the end of the month, we’re out. Let him hold the bag……Mr. Kingston doesn’t know the company shares will be worthless soon enough. By the time he figures it out, the money will already be moved…And then my horrible ringtone, lo

    Those blue eyes. God, those blue eyes.Up close, they were even more intense than I'd noticed from across the room. They were the kind of blue you saw in pictures of the Mediterranean—deep and clear and impossibly bright. They held a sharpness to them, an intelligence, like he was taking in everyth

    Lia’s POVThe words hit me like a physical blow.

All the times I'd gotten on my knees for him, wanting to make him feel good, wanting him to wa

    Lia’s POVA real smile, not the annoyed half-smile he usually gave me. His eyes lit up as he looked at her, traveling down her body slowly, taking his time."I don't need anything for now," he said, and his voice was different. Warmer. Friendlier. Flirty, even."Okay, sir," she purred, holding his

    Lia’s POVHis words hit me hard. Like cold water thrown in my face. Like being slapped.I froze. My whole body went stiff. Those words kept repeating in my head. Like a little slut. Like a little slut. Like a little slut.The warm feelings I'd had—the wanting, the desire—all disappeared in a second
