GRAYSON

Tired of the incessant staring through the rear view mirror, “What is it?” I clipped. His eyes should be hundred percent focused on the road, not me.

The fine lines of his forehead creased as he gulped, apprehension oozed off of him. “Sir, I’m sorry to ask but why are we going to the embassy today? According to the schedule we are supposed to be headed to meet the head of the Japan branch, or at least at the site if not the hotel.” I ignored the immediate surge of anger that came with being questioned, it was in his job specification to drive and mind his business, not monitor my schedule.

Instead of answering, I locked onto his gaze without saying a word. He flinched before snapping his eyes back to the road. Better. I had bigger issues. The top on my list of worries being the uncontrollable stir in my loins whenever a certain redhead was within breathing distance.

As if on cue, my heart thrummed in my ears as images of Adeline arched over my study desk flooded my mind withou

    ADELINEI sighed, exhausted as hell. In the end, he won. I wouldn’t say I was surprised, he had to be excellent at getting his way if he was able to get the company to where it was, but still I was a little pained and very worried. Yes, I was worried a little about Johnny, leaving him with the Archers felt like dropping him in a den of snakes, but I was more worried for myself. I was going to be alone with him. Fine, his assistant was going to be there, but it wouldn’t stop that look that made it feel like he was undressing me with his eyes, made my body a traitor no matter the number of times I screamed that he was the enemy.I managed to get the only bag I would be carrying shut and just sat on it to catch my breath. I couldn’t believe I actually did it, made two weeks worth of food in two days, because let’s be real, the moment Lila got access to that freezer, the meal would be feeding two mouths, not just Johnny’s. I mean why order takeout when all you had to do was microwave two

    GRAYSONShe was out of line. She was way out of line and it wasn’t the first time, she’d been doing it ever since the auction party. She was treading a very thin line, one that only lead to unemployment.A child-like scream pierced the tense silence in the room. What was Johnny screaming about this time?“Shit!” It wasn’t the loudest, but I would know that voice anywhere. I glanced at the door and sure enough the little kitty is there, living up to her name and being a curious cat. Our gazes clashed and her eyes widened in alarm. She dashed off before I could call her out on it, so I just let her.“Unless you’re ready to join the unemployment market, I suggest you keep anything concerning my wife out of your mouth.” I was only giving her another chance to redeem herself because she never acted out in the past. She was always rational and worked with logic, not emotions, it was one of the reasons I still kept her around. I was curious though, just to know what had gotten into her, she’

    ADELINEMy head hurt. I rubbed my temples, but just like the uncontrollable thoughts in my head, it didn’t go away. As if I wasn’t going through enough already, my phone vibrated on the nightstand, the shrill sound of my ringtone was like the final nail in the coffin that was my skull.I groaned and snatched the device from the nightstand. Anger shot through my being the moment I saw the caller ID. Aunt Dahlia. Again! When exactly would she give up. You call a person once, twice, more freaking times than one could count, and they don’t answer still, that’s a sign they don’t want to speak to you and you should give up, dang it!She wanted to talk? Fine, time to freaking talk. “Hello?! Ad.” The surprise in her voice was no shock, but she was about to be fed a buttload of surprises. The Adeline she knew died after twelve months of non-stop calling, making over a mile trek to her house to meet silence. She could go back to whatever hole she crawled out from for all I care.“Yes? How may I

    GRAYSONShe had that look still. She held onto the door like she was holding on for dear life. She looked like she was still deciding whether she wanted to let me in or not. I let myself into the room.She was stiffer than a rod, she was barely breathing. I took another step into the room and she took one back, away from me. I knew what she was doing, she was creating distance.The way her shoulders were hunched up, I actually wanted to rub on them, even if it were to ease the tension. I groaned in annoyance when blood rushed straight to where it shouldn’t have instead.She gulped, her eyes looked up at me, she actually looked so innocent and vulnerable, I wanted to choke that look out of her eyes.“It’s really late.” She managed to say.“So?” I drawled. Her lips beckoned to me. They needed to be kissed and not the chaste type either, the kind that made you go crazy with the need for more.“I need to go to bed.” Yeah, she could go to bed, just for different reasons.Her lips parted, ti

    ADELINEI was going crazy. I was going bananas level crazy. I bit my lower lips as he closed the distance between us. I could smell him. All of him. He was all man in that moment. That signature mix of wood, cinnamon and something dark and utterly mouth watering.I couldn’t breathe, the air in my lungs was trapped and a part of me knew I had to feel his lips on mine to be able to breathe. He really shouldn’t roll up his sleeves, they send my brain on a vacation. Yes. I’m going to blame that, that’s the reason I still haven’t pulled away.He was so close. I could feel his breath on my cheek. The tension in the air was thick, but the distance between Grayson and I was basically non-existent. I wanted to kiss him so bad, more than I’ve ever wanted to. My body was on fire, but it felt so wrong but oh so right at the same time.“If you plan to stop me, this is your last chance.” He drawled, his voice was thick with the same desire that swirled in his eyes as they pinned their gaze on my li
