Chapter 91

ANYTA'S POVThe phone felt slick in my palm, a bead of sweat tracing a slow, itchy path down the dip in my back. I frowned up at the AC, then huffed out a frustrated breath.I kept my head down, my hair acting as a dark curtain between me and the high-ceilinged magnificence of the agency's lobby."I know, Jamie, I’m sorry," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the hum of the air conditioning.Ducking lower behind the marble reception counter, I glanced nervously toward the executive elevators. "I had to bail this time. Things have been…a bit complicated.”“You know you can talk to me right?” He asked. “Is this about Ashbourne?”I brushed a lock of hair out of my face as I swallowed hard.“I really can’t be seen taking personal calls during company hours. Lucille is a hawk.""Anyta, it’s the third time this month," Jamie’s voice sounded gentle and disappointed through the speaker."I’ll make it up to you, I promise,” I replied, feeling even more terrible when he let out an exasper

Chapter 92

ANYTA'S POV Her grin widened, showing a flash of white teeth, even though her eyes remained cold.She lowered her voice, leaning in so close I could smell her expensive, musky perfume. I frowned, wondering how she was able to afford something so pricey.“Really?” Jodie scoffed, “so… does he know about Theodore yet?"My son's name leaving her mouth hit me like a physical blow.“Are you…”I paused at the chime of the elevator, followed by the clicking of heels.“Keep my son's name out of your mouth,” I snarled in an almost whisper.“Aww, Anyta.” Jodie fake-pouted. “Still so sensitive about him I see," she mocked. "I’m just asking a question though.”She grinned as she exhaled deeply. “God, I remember the morning sickness quite vividly. You were a nightmare to live with."Before I could find the right words to reply, a movement to my left caught my eye.Lia was gliding toward the desk.I felt a fresh wave of irritation as she approached.It wasn't just the face or body now, it was the e

Chapter 93

CLAY'S POV My housekeeper, Aggie, had gone home.So the click of the deadbolt was a sound I knew was from the only other person allowed to bypass my security without a phone call.I froze, steam still clinging to my skin. I’d just stepped out of the shower, the adrenaline of the last two hours finally beginning to ebb into a dull ache in my knuckles.I tightened the towel around my hips, wiping a hand over the fogged-up mirror and dragging my fingers through my damp hair before stepping into the hallway.Water trailed after me, cold against the hardwood, but I didn't care.Anyta was standing in the center of my living room, looking small against the backdrop of the floor-to-ceiling windows.My throat cinched slightly as I took in her sharp office attire, a charcoal blazer and matching slacks with white pointy heels.Her dark curls were swept into an elegant updo that revealed the soft, curly wisps at the nape of her smooth, creamy neck.God, she was breathtaking. But the coolness abo

Chapter 94

ANYTA'S POV The bell above the bodega door gave a tinny chime as we stepped into the fluorescent hum of the shop. After the heavy, suffocating tension in Clay’s penthouse, the smell of grilled meat and floor cleaner felt strangely comforting. I couldn't stop stealing glances at Clay, who was now in a plain black t-shirt and jeans, his hair still slightly damp under his backwards cap. He moved through the narrow aisles with a lazy, effortless grace that made my chest ache as I felt my face heat. The two bottles of Corona I had weren't helping my emotions stay muted. Every time Clay looked at me, his eyes dark and simmering with amusement or fun, I had to remind myself to breathe. “You’re actually going to eat that?” I asked when we stopped in front of a stall, gesturing to the massive, foil-wrapped sandwich he was eyeing. I was trying for my usual teasing tone, but my voice felt thin. “It’s a chopped cheese, baby. It’s the soul of the city,” he answered, giving me a crooked, de

Chapter 95

ANYTA'S POVI'd left my gun at home. And the realization grew more horrific when the men were finally close enough that I could see the murderous intent gleaming in their eyes.“No, wait!” I yelled as the scuffle started in full force.One of the men reached for me, but Clay was on him in a flash. And soon the goon was flattened on the ground on his stomach, grunting.I expected to be terrified for my best friend's life, but as the other three lunged, he didn't flinch.He moved like a shadow, with quick, brutal hits that left my mouth agape as I watched.“Get back!” Clay gritted at me, as he caught a fist with a wicked looking knife mid-air and delivered a blow to the man's ribs that sounded like a branch snapping, then twisted his arm.“Argh!” the man grunted as the knife toppled off his grip just before Clay delivered another sharp blow to his jaw.“Clay, that one's got a gun!” I yelled, my eyes widening as the ugly muzzle was aimed at me.“Don't shoot her!” One of the criminals yel

Chapter 96

ANYTA'S POVI’d misread it. Again. And this one was totally my fault, again.“How are you so sure what just happened wasn't Everett’s doing?” I asked, my voice trembling as I tried to regain some dignity.“Everett is extremely egotistic and you did hit him in my defence, Clay. He’d be obviously obsessed with getting revenge on us. Why wouldn't it be him?"Clay gripped the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the dark road ahead. He looked grimmer than I’d ever seen him.“Because,” he sighed, his voice low and dangerous. “Your ex-husband is still a trust fund brat at heart. He wouldn't know what to do with those kinds of men.”Clay glanced at me, “he wouldn't even know where to find guys like that.”“And you do?” I asked, my eyebrows arched.“Yes.”Clay swallowed hard, his jaw set like stone, as if he was expecting a certain reaction from me. I was sure he saw it on my face, because I definitely felt my confusion etching onto my face.I kept staring at him , a cold shiver trailing down my

Chapter 97

ANYTA'S POV I was trembling, my hands fisted at my sides.“I want to know if I can completely trust you…”“You can,” Clay cut in gently, his voice emphatic.“I promise, you can trust me.”“Then who were those men?” I asked with a shrug. “Are you just a…an entrepreneur?”My best friend shook his head, “no.”“Then what do you really do?!” I blurted out, my frustration spiking.“I buy and resell companies, that's the truth.”I scoffed, but I let him continue.“Those men weren't after me either, this isn't my fault.”A knot formed in my throat as I folded my arms over my chest. I had a feeling he was deflecting, but my mind was all over the place, I couldn't concentrate on one question.“So who were those men?”Clay opened his mouth to respond as he shifted his weight to face me fully, but then suddenly sucked in a sharp, hissed breath.He winced, his entire body stiffening, and his hand moved instinctively toward his side before he caught himself and forced it back down as his expressio

Chapter 98

ANYTA'S POV“No, please wait.”Clay let go of my hand but reached up to cup my face gently.“Please stay.”I tried to speak again, to demand answers or tell him we needed ice for his bruised rib cage, but the words died as he leaned down.He didn't go for my lips like I expected him to. Instead, he pressed a lingering, velvet-soft kiss to the side of my jaw.A shudder wracked through me as I felt his stubble graze my skin, a delicious friction that sent shivers racing down my spine.“You are so beautiful,” he whispered against my skin. “So incredibly refreshing and fascinating, Anyta…”My heart squeezed tightly in my chest as I curled my fingers to keep myself from reaching up to touch him.Clay moved to my cheek, his kisses slow and worshipful, while his hand once again dropped down to my hand and tightened as he dragged it back to his chest, keeping it pinned over his racing heart.“Feel that?” He murmured, then kissed the tip of my nose. “That's what you do to me, everytime.” He sh

Chapter 99

CLAY'S POVOne moment, Anyta was yelling at me in the living room of my penthouse, and the next minute she was in my bed, her knees buried into the mattress, her eyes heavy with raw desire.She made a small whimpering sound as our lips came together again. I kissed her hard and deep until she released a different kind of moan. A sound that made me reach up and squeeze one of her breasts.“Fuck,” I groaned, all the pain in my body gone from the adrenaline rushing through me.“Nice way to deflect from answering my question,” she cooed, her voice deliciously raspy.A small, rough chuckle escaped me.“Anyta,” I murmured her name, moving my hands up and down her arms several times before moving them to wrap around my neck.She moaned as my tongue probed at her mouth, but she opened for me, and I felt her desire mingling with mine in thick, heady waves.Nothing else mattered but the feel of her fingers on me, her harsh breaths and the softness of her full breasts against my chest.I broke t

Chapter 100

CLAY'S POVAnyta let out a small as I shoved her down to the bed gently and covered her with my body.“You know I'm still offended you'd ever think I wasn't attracted to you.”She slipped her arms around my neck and gasped softly as I dipped my head and grazed my teeth over one taut nipple.“We already talked about…why,” Anyta moaned sweetly, gripping my head tightly as I sucked and swirled my tongue over the tight bud.I was harder than I'd ever been in my whole life, and it was all thanks to her soft moans and lush, writhing body underneath mine.“mmm,” I moaned deep in my throat as I released her nipple with a wet pop.I raised my head to take her in, her flushed face and complexion, the slight part of her full lips and glassy, heavy look in her eyes.Like that, she looked completely ravished and in need…for me.Nothing else had ever come close to what I was feeling right then, nothing…Our eyes locked as I pinched one nipple, rolling it softly between my fingers as I rocked my hip
