Chapter 41 - Two Thousand Dollars

(Lorei’s POV)The first thing I feel is a weight across my waist. Heavy. Warm. An arm.I don’t open my eyes. If I don’t open my eyes, maybe it’s a dream.Then I try to shift my legs, and the muscles in my inner thighs scream at me. Ow. Ow, ow, ow. Okay. Not a dream.I crack one eye open. Dark wood headboard. Gray sheets. A ceiling I’ve never seen before. I’ve lived in this house for weeks and I’ve never once been inside his room. I look to my side. He’s is right there, face turned my way, one arm thrown over my waist. His hair is a mess. There’s a crease from the pillow on his cheek. His mouth is a little open, and he looks about nineteen. What the… I’m about to scream when all the memories come back at once. Oh fuck.I kissed him. I grabbed his FACE and kissed him, in the living room. I told him to shut up. I told Elias Walker to shut up, and then I sucked him, pushed him down on this bed and told him not to move, and he… listened. He LISTENED. This man has not listened to another h

Chapter 42 - Fine

(Elias’s POV)My own voice keeps echoing back to me in the elevator. “I let you go whore yourself across the city.”I said that. Me. To her face, with half her department on the other side of the room pretending not to listen. Fuckkk!I have never called a woman that in my life. I’ve been called worse by better people and never stooped to it, and I used it on her because I wanted it to hurt. And it did. Fuck.What the fuck is wrong with you, Elias.I told myself it was the leak. It was because that stupid Callahan boy walked my manifests into Hargrove’s network like he was delivering flowers. Any other man, I’d have buried him by Friday, and I was going to bury him by Friday anyway. But somewhere between the fortieth floor and mine, I stopped being able to pretend. I could’ve handled the leak with one phone call. That wasn’t why I was so fucking pissed.It was because she wasn’t with me. I wasn’t seeing her. Pure seven days of hell. Seven days of my men telling me where she slept. Se

Chapter 43 - The Chain

(Elias’s POV)Nobody has said a word since we left Priya’s building. A whole forty minutes of nothing but the engine and the turn signal sound, and I spent every one of them trying to come up with something to say to Lorei. I practiced at red lights. I overreacted in the conference room. You’re not a whore. You’re… Fuck! By the time the gate swings open, I’ve got exactly nothing, and I’m choking the steering wheel like it owes me money.Dale’s SUV pulls in behind us. Priya’s out of the back seat before the engine’s even off, bag hugged to her chest, glaring up at the house. Lorei takes longer. She sits there with her hands stuck between her knees, staring at the front door. When she finally gets out, she just stands on the gravel and looks up at the place like she’s never seen it before. Like it’s some prison they’re sending her.Which, fine. It’s true. I made it a prison for her.“Nice house,” Priya says. “Hope the doors lock from the inside? Don’t want nobody dragging me out in th

Chapter 44 - Whoever’s Calling

(Elias’s POV)I can’t sit still. I’m trying, but I just can’t.The office is clean now. Two maids came in while I stood at the window, swept up the glass, stacked the books back on the shelf, and left, visibly shaken too. The red in my eyes obviously got to them.I’ve been in this chair for almost an hour. I’ve read the same line of the contract my assistant sent me up to eleven times, and I couldn’t tell you a word of it. Everything just keeps coming back to my head.There was a watch, and two thousand dollars sitting on Owen Reyes’s kitchen counter? And a thief walked right past it?That’s no fucking robbery!Whoever did it wanted it read as a warning, and they didn’t care who read it. And then Dale’s red phone, and the man in the green Volvo? What the fuck could be so important about that marina that somebody is willing to kill a PI it? Whatever it is, Lorei’s father found it first, and he died. And now, his innocent daughter is asking about it. Fuck!I keep seeing her face, the

Chapter 45 - House Rules

(Lorei’s POV)I wake up with almost no spirit left in me. My eyelids are glued shut with tears. And when I finally peel them apart, the room is black and the clock on the nightstand says 10:12.For about three seconds my head is empty, then it all starts flooding in, and the first thing in it isn’t even a thought. It’s his voice. “You’ve reached Owen Reyes. I’m either working or ignoring you.” Fucccckkkk!!!!I want to scream so bad.I shut my eyes again and another set of memories flood in. I’m back on Priya’s couch watching the news, hot tears streaming down my face. Priya’s got my wrist. “Breathe, Lorei. In. Come on, in...” I’m trying. My chest just won’t let anything through.Then there’s a knock, Priya opens it and Elias is on the other side in a suit, and the first thing out of his mouth is “I didn’t do it.” Before hello. Before anything. For fuck’s sake, I didn’t even say he did anything. Why is that what he led with? And then we’re back here in this God forsaken house, then

Chapter 46 - Please

(Lorei’s POV)My knees are on fire. There’s carpet burn on both of them, so at some point I must have crawled back onto the bed, because that’s where I am when somebody knocks.“Go away!”“Miss Lorei? It’s Marisol. I brought tea. And some toast, just a little...”“I don’t want it.”“Just a few bites, miss. You haven’t eaten since...”“I said I don’t want it! Take it back!” My voice cracks down the middle and gets louder anyway. “Please. Just take it back.”“Miss...”“PLEASE!”She says nothing back. No footsteps, no tray rattling. I’m too far gone to care whether she left or is standing there with her forehead on the wood. I pull the pillow over my face and press until I see white spots.I’ve called Owen’s number nine times. I don’t even know why. I just keep calling him, saying I’m sorry each time. And each time the voicemail answers me. “You’ve reached Owen Reyes. I’m either working or ignoring you.” Again, I mutter, “I’m sorry.” I just keep saying it. “I'm so sorr…” The knock comes

Chapter 47 - Sixteen

(Lorei’s POV)My eyes crack open to gray light coming in around the curtain. They dart to the clock says 5:41. My lips feel fat, my head is pounding, and there’s an arm under my neck that is definitely not mine.Oh fuck.It all comes back at once. His forehead on mine. “Tell me this is okay.” Me, saying “Stay” like a complete idiot. Me yelling his name so loud that the whole second floor...Wait. Briggs. Briggs was standing outside this door the whole time. Marisol was out there with the toast!My face catches fire. I squeeze my eyes shut like a five-year-old who thinks if she can’t see anybody, nobody can see her.Okay, okay, okay. Don't move. Don't breathe. Maybe he's asleep and I can just slide out and move to Canada. Fucking hell.I crack one eye open.He's flat on his back with the sheet down around his hips, and my brain just stops. Holy fuck. That's a lot of chest. How the fuck am I just seeing this? He’s so chiseled. and it's not the sad kind of flip, and I want to scream int

Chapter 48 - Tea, No Sugar

(Lorei’s POV)The first thing I do when I wake up is reach for him. Like an idiot.My hand slides across the sheet and finds nothing. Cold cotton, a dent in the pillow, that’s all. I open my eyes and the curtain’s bright now, real daylight, and the clock on the nightstand says 8:47.He’s gone.I lie there for a second, staring at the empty half of the bed. Okay. Okay. That’s fine. He’s a CEO, he’s got a company to run, people to yell at. Of course he’s gone. It’s not like we’re a couple or anything.A couple? Elias? Am I mad?Except my whole body is still warm from his touch. My neck, my shoulder, the spot where his chin was resting on my head. I can still feel his heart under my hand, going way too fast. And his voice is still in my ear. I’m sorry, Lorei. Elias Walker said sorry. To me. And then he cried on my pillow, and I let him, and I held on to him like he was the only thing in this house that wasn’t sinking.What the fuck did I do?I roll onto my back and stare at the ceili

Chapter 49 - Eight O’Clock

(Lorei’s POV)By 9:15 I’ve read his note eleven times and changed my shirt twice, and I still haven’t figured out what“See you at night” means.Does it mean dinner? Does it mean he comes to my room? Do I go to his? Are we going to… fuck!I’m cross-legged on the bed in a gray sweater, then not in it, then in it again, when somebody knocks. Three taps, soft, spaced out. I freeze with one arm in a sleeve.That’s not Marisol. Marisol knocks like a woodpecker.It’s him. Is he back already?“Yeah?”The door opens about a foot. He doesn’t come in. He’s standing right on the threshold in his work shirt with the top button undone, one hand on the frame and the other holding a small paper bag away from his body, like he’s not sure it belongs to him.“Can I come in?”Can he. He’s asking. “Uhm… sure.”He takes one step in and stops. I can see him deciding where to stand. He picks the spot by the dresser, about as far from the bed as the room allows, and holds the bag out at arm’s length.“I got t

Chapter 50 - The Good Hand

(Lorei’s POV)“Lorei, open the door.” He later comes back, around 1, in the midnight. My pillow is soaked with tears already, with tons of cursing and swearing into it, still wearing the dress.“I’m not opening it.” I yell from the bed.Two taps again. “Lorei. Please.”“Go away, Elias!”“I’m not going anywhere.”Of course you’re not. You never leave when I want you to. You only leave when you want to humiliate me.I sit there with both fists in the satin for a full minute. I can hear him breathing raggedly like he took the stairs three at a time.“Please open the door.”Don’t. Don’t you dare open….I’m off the bed and yanking it open before the thought finishes. I don’t look at him. I turn my back and stomp to the window, because if I see his face I’ll lose my nerve, and I’ve been saving this for three hours.“Do you enjoy it?” My voice cracks on the first word. “Is that it? You like watching me make a fool of myself? I wore the dress, Elias! I did my hair! I sat on the stairs like
