Leon…it’s Friday…don’t you have better things to do with your time today? I mused.

My phone vibrated – my regular one. I pulled it out. Is he tapping my brain too? I pondered distractedly.

I picked up.

I didn’t speak.

There was a sigh. “Is this how you give me a chance, Jade?”

“I’m busy, Leon.”

“I know. You’ve always been a hard worker, Jade. Your attention to detail and your work ethic are hard to find,” he murmured in a tone that s

    I reopened them, facing Shaw. “Follow him. Both of them. Separately.”My lawyer nodded.Jayden… I ruminated, then stopped. It didn’t matter. My man was not some damsel. He had never been. But this creature he was fighting was tainting him. I didn’t like that.I didn’t like the way his eyes were changing. His voice was losing its light touch. My man was winding himself tightly. Too tightly for the life he was supposed to be living.The life I wanted him to live, needed him to live, for himself, and for me.Last night, he had been on the edge of breaking. His eyes when he got back sent shivers down my spine. He couldn’t open his own fucking door, and he still tried to get me to back off. Still wanted to face the bastard alone.I didn’t like anything that was happening.He was supposed to be a free man. An honest man. My fucking ‘ma donna’. Ma Lupo. But the vampire was staining him with darkness.I dismissed my team and w

    From my research an hour earlier, I had confirmed that the product Leon had delivered for auction was heading in different directions.Some to black market organ traders, some to very tightly organized sex traders, some to underworld crime organizations to serve one, both, or other capacities, and two were heading to families; homes, as what, I didn’t need to care.This could not be the first, nor would it be the last of such dirty business Leon was into. This, hell, half of this, could get him sentenced to prison for the rest of his natural life.But he had money and connections. There were at least fifty ways he could wriggle out of anything anybody presented in a court of law.That was the problem with courts and laws: too many loopholes.I had to get inside Leon’s home, his office, his world – without touching anything there. I had already been burned thirteen years ago; I didn’t need to experience what the upgraded version of this devil could

    I knew Jade was not with him. My man had been out of the country for a few days.And he had missed giving a report to Jade on Friday? A report on what? His experience? His views on the inspection? That’s a business relationship, however informal or relaxed it may be, I mused.No, my brother was no gem to Jayden Malroy. The architect extraordinaire was taking his add-on role seriously, as he took all things when it came to his fucking family business.Sir Sinclair had made a request, and Jayden Malroy would be damned before he failed the old man.He’s grooming Adrian. It’s his job. I concluded in my mind, exhaling mentally.I paused the videos. All of them.I closed my eyes.I felt his kiss from two hours ago. Warm. Not hot. Paced, deliberate. Not feverish.His eyes when he asked about my client.What was that about? He did the same thing last night. And then this afternoon. What does he mean by givi

    By five p.m., it was time to part ways.I walked them both to their car.As Liam drove away and Adrian sank low in the back seat, I placed my hands in my pockets. My phone buzzed.“Was that good enough?” Bash droned into my ear.“Excellent, sonofabitch!”He laughed.“See you next week.”“Sure thing, and thank you, man.”“Anytime, shit-face.”He hung up. I smiled into the distance.==========Leon’s POV.Something is up with Jade. I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s there, and it’s in my fucking face, I mused.How could he kiss me like that? Where did he get the balls? Fuck! Those eyes of his! Shit! I wanted to take him with me. Drag him by the fucking hair all the way to the car and bang him as the driver took us to my home. Then I would have had him dragged out, naked, and locked to my bed where I would have him till he begged me to stop. Then

    Liam croaked. I gave the man extra points for not doing a backflip before the giant touched him.“I'm Sebastian Norwood. This is my place,” he said courteously, holding both Liam’s hands and eyes.The reserved guard blinked at him, his mouth falling open, but no sound formed.“Oh, no, please. It’s my honor to let the public experience the riches of knowledge and history all in one place. If I didn’t do this, I would have two Disneyland parks, and honestly, do we really need more theme parks?” Sebastian droned as if he were answering a question from the poor man.Liam pressed his lips together.“Tell me, what do you think so far? I could give you a private tour.” He was sitting now, in my chair. I wanted to take a picture of Liam’s face for posterity, but my mind would have to do.A scraping sound drew all three of our eyes.Adrian was fuming. It was an even more precious sight.I bit my tongue. I needed to see this.“Wha

    Jayden’s POV.Liam… Good man. I mused as he sauntered in.There’s no way he would have left the boy with me. Not after the sports club. Not in a million years.But I had also just confirmed something else.Leon didn’t know. Or, more accurately, Liam was not Leon’s man. His allegiance was to the boy’s father, even though he was clearly not sharing everything with Sir Sinclair, for his ward’s sake.Very good man; I ruminated as my secretary’s face flashed in my mind. I almost smiled.I shook my head mentally, and when my eyes focused, he was staring at me, hands in his pockets, shoulders rolling.I blinked and averted my gaze to the exit.I took a step forward, and he blocked my path with his body.I raised a brow.“What?” I asked, barely able to keep the irritation out of my tone.“You don’t seem happy to see me,” he droned. I nearly closed my eyes; that fucking voice of his should be illeg

    “Who are you?” the blonde breathed, his eyes narrowing as they searched my face.If I spat, I would get splash-back. That’s how close the fucker was.“You’ll find out, soon. I assure you. I’ll be seeing you real soon, Mr. Ralis,” I rumbled.He smiled. Like having a blade at h

    Leon Ralis strolled in and sat across from me, crossing his long, toned legs. He was dressed in a polo shirt and short shorts.What he had come to this place for, I didn’t care to imagine, but his manner was very different from what I had seen that day with Jay. He looked like he was flaunting himse

    I started to plan my exit before our conversation went south.“Do your calculations and pay up fast, Mr. Malroy. That’s all you really need to do,” I rumbled.“I owe you –”“Twenty million, give or take, I believe,” I remarked casually, leaning forward again. “Starting today, your interest accrues.

    That cold, dark hole grew. A dull rage pushing behind it. I forgot my fallen compatriot, whose name I didn’t know, whom I had never met.This fucker had ruined my win with the dragon, Leon’s roommate, whom I had just now realized was probably not just a roommate.This fucker had int
